Reviews for Charles
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I retained this firm (Charles Vethan) during active litigation under a contingency arrangement. In the middle of the case, Charles withdrew. Shortly after withdrawing, Charles initiated litigation against me seeking substantial attorney’s fees, including enforcement of a contingency fee I dispute was earned. A motion for summary judgment was filed against me. After months of litigation, the firm ultimately recovered nothing. Separately, the firm was handling my pending trademark application. Following withdrawal, I did not receive clear notice of critical USPTO deadlines or a proper transfer of the file. The application was later deemed abandoned, forcing me to restart the entire process. Clients should ensure that fee terms, withdrawal procedures, and docketing responsibilities are clearly defined in writing. Continuity and accountability matter. Charles withdrew mid-case He sued his own client He tried to enforce contingency He filed summary judgment He got nothing My trademark died
