Chuck’s legal experience consists of working for several non-profit organizations which serve the indigent community with immigration legal services. Working at these non-profits, he realized how important knowing and having an understanding of the criminal justice system was in effectively representing clients in immigration proceedings.

Chuck is passionate about public service and social justice. He is also actively involved in his church where he performs as a chorus member.
