A Dedicated California Attorney Using Creative Strategies To Get Justice

Making Sure The Wrongly Injured Are Fairly Compensated

If you were injured by the careless or negligent act of another, you need a skilled and aggressive attorney to track down the responsible party and hold them accountable. The physical, emotional and financial impact of serious injuries can last a lifetime. Since 2003, I have been helping people put their lives back together after motor vehicle, 18-wheeler and commercial truck accidents as well as brain and spinal cord injuries. I help the injured get compensation that addresses not just their current bills, but also covers ongoing medical expenses and lost earning capacity.

Skilled Representation In Civil And Criminal Matters

Prior to launching my own practice more than a decade ago, I worked in other law firms doing civil litigation and spent years working as a prosecutor in the Tulare and Mendocino District Attorney’s Offices. I have seen all sides of the litigation process and use the insights I gained to counter and dismantle the opposing counsel’s strategy. I understand how important your time and your money are to you, and I will not waste either.

Tackling All Problems, Large And Small

If a problem is big enough to matter to you, it is big enough to matter to me. When you’ve been injured or wronged by another, I can hold the responsible party accountable. If someone is accusing you of doing them wrong, I will put my defense skills to work to protect your rights. With well over a decade of experience in civil and criminal litigation, I can take care of you – and no problem is too big for me to tackle. Whether you’re facing criminal charges or involved in a civil lawsuit, I can help.

I offer a free initial consultation and a wide range of payment options so you can make a decision based on your needs, not on your budget. Call 707-806-0163 or fill out my online contact form so I can start protecting your rights and your freedom now.

“Charles helped me out with some real estate/collection issues I had a year or so ago. He was the only one who saw my side of the argument and who offered to help and guided me as to what would work and what wouldn’t, thereby saving me money on legal fees and not lining his own pocket.”

— Andy, Real Estate Client

“We got nothing but doors slamming in our faces when we tried to solve our problem on our own. Mr. Applegate was extremely helpful. He listened carefully and let us know he understood our problem. He made calls to our HOA and a collection agency to see if he could solve the problem in the fastest and simplest possible manner. He took time to explain procedures and kept us informed every step of the way. He was confident and reassuring, and we got excellent results. We highly recommend Mr. Applegate.”

— Sue, Arbitration Client
