About Charlie
Charlie was admitted to legal practice in 1990 and has worked in private practice since that time. He is passionate about helping clients and providing sensible advice, solutions, and options. He prides himself on treating each client as an important individual and as if he or she were a member of his family. Charlie is very approachable and offers after hours and weekend appointments as required to ensure that the unique needs of each of his clients are met.
Charlie is trained in Collaborative Law and is also a mediator. Charlie encourages the resolution of disputes out of Court. Where Court action is required, Charlie assists clients to resolve matters sensibly thus minimising the financial and non-financial costs of an ongoing dispute.
With ever-changing laws, Charlie is committed to ongoing professional development. He invests a significant amount of time and resources in ensuring that his legal knowledge is current and of a very high standard.
Charlie was born to a large, close immigrant family and grew up working in the family market garden. He proudly served in the Army Reserve (3/9 SAMR) for many years. Charlie speaks Italian and spends his time away from the law with family and friends and helping to manage a family-owned cafe. Charlie draws on his business and life experiences and over a third of a century in the law to provide clients with holistic and sensible legal advice.
