As real estate agents, we cannot give any sort of legal or tax advice. Therefore, having an expert attorney who specializes in real estate is a necessary resource.

After researching mediation lawyers in AZ, we hired Attorney Christopher Charles. True to his write-ups, Chris discounted his hourly fee for mediation purposes. In addition, Chris was extremely prepared with our position on all counts in the dispute, as well as the other party’s. He handled the mediation process as an experienced professional, leading to detailed negotiations and a fair final result that pleased both sides. We highly recommend Attorney Christopher Charles!
