Civil Rights

Safeguarding Your Rights, Your Freedom, and Your Future

Charles Washington brings decades of federal courtroom experience from the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in Connecticut and North Carolina, the Federal Public Defender, and the Army Corps of Engineers.

Strategic Approach

Clear-eyed evaluation.

Every case begins with a disciplined assessment of facts, legal exposure, and strategic options.

Precision in motion practice.

Whether seeking dismissal, summary judgment, or emergency relief, the focus is on building strong, well-supported arguments.

Controlled litigation posture.

Aggressive when necessary. Measured when strategic. Always grounded in the client’s goals.

Resolution-focused.

Many cases can — and should — settle early, saving time, stress, and cost. The goal is the best outcome, not the longest fight.

Alternative resolution often provides
faster, more predictable outcomes.
