Description
After an accomplished academic career, Charles was called to the Bar in 1980, and he became a Partner in Creighton Law LLP in 1982. In his practice of law, he serves his clients primarily in Family Law, Real Estate, and Wills and Estates.

In Family Law, Charles advises and represents clients regarding divorce, custody, access, division of property and support, as well as marriage contracts and separation agreements. He also advises and represents parents and children involved in child welfare proceedings. He is a very experienced litigator in both collaborative and adversarial contexts.

In Real Estate, Charles represents clients in the purchase and sale of personal and commercial property. He understands and appreciates that these transactions are often the largest, and therefore the most important, financial transactions undertaken by his clients.

In Wills and Estates, Charles provides clients with the peace of mind in the knowledge that their affairs are in order during their lifetime (Powers of Attorney) and after death (Wills). He also provides professional advice and representation when Estates need to be challenged or defended.
