Highly recommend Mr. Unger to help through the overwhelming process of facing legal issues. This is a time when quality matters because there is just so much at stake. In my personal experience Charlie’s expertise in understanding exactly how to navigate parts of a case and strategize a positive outcome were lifesaving. He just knows the intricacies of legal cases so well because he has so much successful experience. If you face any legal issues, definitely call to at least consult. There is a huge difference between other attorneys and Charlie Unger.

Hello, Back in early 2019 I was arrested and charged with 7 counts of 1st-degree (felony) residential burglary. The rather generic (uncaring) public defender was very eager to offer me a paper to sign, stating I would go to prison for 14 years due to the severity of the crime... He, like 99% of all public defenders, was not willing to fight for me and represent me accurately in this case. In fact, the public defender laughed in my face when I started to explain the circumstances of the situation. I got addicted to opioid pain medication when I needed to have my wisdom teeth pulled... and like always... the addiction progressively got worse... to the point where I started mixing numerous prescription medications, blacking out, and even having a couple of accidental overdoses. Xanax became my drug of choice and I was truly powerless over my addiction. All of this eventually led to the crime I committed... I was completely blacked out on Xanax and did not recall anything I did whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I woke up in jail not knowing what happened... the worst feeling of my life. This was my very first offense, I grew up in a great household with a great family, have always worked and paid my taxes, I was a college student with a good head on my shoulders... I was/am pretty much a normal person just like anybody you know. This incident truly was a 1-off. A complete anomaly. Out-of-character to the fullest. Now, I don't say this to absolve myself of responsibility for my actions. Although, to this day, I still don't remember everything that has happened that night (I do remember some of it now)... I truly feel very bad about the people I affected. I always think about how I would feel if my personal belongings were stolen from me and I definitely would not like it one bit. I understood the severity of what I did and knew that I needed to be held responsible for my actions but 14 years was not a reasonable punishment for what I did considering all the circumstances. I was not willing to sign away my life without trying to find someone that would represent me fairly... so I went lawyer hunting. My family spoke to NUMEROUS lawyers trying to find someone that was understanding of the situation and willing to truly fight for a punishment that was more reasonable considering all of the circumstances. After several lawyers, we finally came across Dr. Unger! Dr. Charles/Charlie really got to know my family and me personally to get a sense of the situation before he offered to take on my case... Once he felt that my situation a unique one (and he believed me) he agreed to represent me in court. He immediately got to work going above and beyond to secure all the necessary information, evaluations, hospital records, etc.... and started forming a case. Dr. Unger was truly professional in all of his efforts but the MOST IMPORTANT & INFLUENTIAL ASPECT of Dr. Unger was his vast network of personal relationships that he has with numerous courtrooms. He is very well known and well respected in the courtroom. I truly believe that without Dr. Unger I would still be sitting in prison today. I'm truly very sorry to the people I affected. I'm very happy that everyone got all of their items back and that nobody was hurt. I wish I could take back what I did... Overall, Dr. Unger successfully negotiated the prosecution to drop all of the charges (except 1 charge of felony residential burglary), 365 days in county jail, and 5 years of probation. I'm very blessed to have been represented by Dr. Unger. He truly was able to save my life. I'm now completely sober, married to my beautiful wife, and living a normal life. I'm so lucky to not be sitting behind bars... THANKS, DR. UNGER!

In a difficult time, Charlie was on top of my case, reassuring, positive, factual, and honest. I would recommend him without hesitation.

I hired charlie for my DMV hearing because I felt my original DUI lawyer was a little hurried and somewhat fidgety.Had a DUI with serious injury.License revoked for a min of 1 yr.Charlie was able to get my license back at the second DMV hearing.8 months later and I am driving again.Do not waste your time with these young lawyers.My DUI lawyer was more concerned with what was going on with his cell phone than my case.Charlie had the experience to help me and I highly recommend him.He has been doing this for many yrs and he has a good relationship with the DMV safety office.Thank you very much Charlie.

IM IN THE FIRE SERVICE BUSINESS, GOT A DUI, 90 DAYS LATER, NO DUI........... CANT AFFORD TO LOSE MY LICENSE...THANK YOU CHARLIE..............

Hired Charlie for a DUI issue. It was a long process but Charlie made it very easy to navigate through and we got great results. He is attentive and respectful and gives it to you straight which I appreciated. I highly recommend Charlie.

From the very first moment my wife and I met with Charlie, we were instantly at ease. He guided us through the process and handled all the filings and court dates. He made the very stressful, painful, and anxious parts of getting a DUI much more bearable. I would 100% refer Charlie. He is kind, experienced and professional.

In 2014, my husband was accused by a scam artist that my husband used his truck to hit him, causing him bodily injuries; as a result, my husband was charged with the serious offense of assault with a deadly weapon. Our first lawyer was both incompetent and lazy, after the pre-trial hearing, we were in very dire straits; there were no other witnesses, it was down to my husband’s versus the scam artist’s words, the judge believed the “victim’s” testimony. With a fortunate twist of fate, Mr. Unger was referred to us, and we hired him immediately after our first meeting. Mr. Unger efficiently amended what my first lawyer did not do, and the case was soon on track. With his vast connection, he assembled a great team of expert witnesses and private detectives to build a strong case for my husband. During the jury trial, with his impeccable preparation and excellent courtroom skill, Mr. Unger broke down the credibility of the scam artist and strongly proved the innocence of my husband. We had a not-guilty verdict less than 30 minutes after the jury sequestration, and we even received a first-name-only letter from a member of the jury expressing his commiseration of our misfortune to be involved in such a horrific incident. This showed how impressive and convincing Mr. Unger was in that courtroom. Mr. Unger is not just a consummate professional, he is also a very kind and compassionate man. Throughout the whole ordeal, he was always there for us. He responded to our emails quickly, listened to us, answered all our questions and concerns no matter how trivial they were. We so appreciate that he worked so hard and relentlessly for us; he fought for us like we were a member of his family. I would recommend Mr. Unger in less than a heartbeat, he would be the best lawyer anyone could get.

This was my very first arrest and DUI charge. It is a painful and emotionally draining thing to go through. Charlie was extremely knowledgeable, supportive, caring and most of all trustworthy. He was able to bring down my DUI to a lesser offense. I only had to appear in court once which was very helpful due to my work and school schedule. Charlie was always available via phone call or email. He never once kept me waiting. I would highly recommend hiring Charlie.

Charlie made us feel important and comfortable. He treated us with respect. He was always available and approachable. He answered questions and provided feedback in a timely manner. He told us exactly what was happening in the case in order for us not to have unrealistic expectations. He knew how to listen and used insights from us. He clearly demonstrated knowledge and experience.

When I was arrested for a DUI earlier this year, Charlie was one of my first calls. He worked with me for almost a year to resolve my case, and reduced it to the lowest possible charges he could. The experience was traumatic and filled with personal embarrassment, but Charlie always made me feel both supported and understood. He has worked in the industry for many years, which is obvious by his knowledge of laws, judges, insurers, and other attorneys. I don't plan on getting in trouble with the law again, but if I ever do, Charlie will be my first call. If you are in the market for a good lawyer, look no further than Charlie.

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and I was charged with domestic violence. My girlfriend and I were perfectly fine and unfortunately a random person was trying to be a so called hero by getting involved. I went to Mr. Unger and I was extremely pleased what I was hearing from him and how he would help me the first time I met him. Throughout the case he was more than cooperative and answered to any questions via email or phone call instantly. In these cases, they are always hard to win and almost impossible, but when the da wanted to charge me with the crime and sentence me to a few months in jail I was worried. Mr. Unger being the best attorney there is, got months in jail reduced to ZERO DAYS, and had to just complete classes and a little over a dozen days of community labor. The best outcome that could have happened did happen, and it is all to Mr. Charlie Unger. Use him for representation, YOU WONT REGRET IT.
