Charlie has extensive experience in jury and non-jury and appellate civil practice. He has personally tried to verdict in excess of 60 cases thoughout Alabama and Mississippi, in state and federal courts. These cases include medical malpractice/long term care, insurance/bad faith, fraud, products liability, construction and transportation, premises and automobile liability, and maritime and state law based personal injury/wrongful death matters.
