I have worked with Chuck as my employer-side employment attorney for a few years now and he has been nothing short of amazing! With every case he has handled for me he always exceeds my expectations! He’s a very knowledgeable and professional attorney, he really listens to his clients. He leaves no stone unturned whenever he is handling a case. I recommend him without any reservations!

I had the pleasure of meeting and conversing with Chuck Krugel. I find him to be very knowledgeable about labor and employment law. He knows how to protect businesses from the start and throughout litigation if needed. I would recommend him to any business owner with employees.

My venture capital firm had an excellent experience working with employment law attorney Charles Krugel during a sensitive independent contractor termination matter. He provided clear, practical legal guidance, were highly responsive, and helped us navigate the process professionally while minimizing risk. His knowledge, judgment, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence every step of the way. I highly recommend Charles’s legal services to any business seeking experienced and reliable employment counsel.

As a small business owner unfamiliar with the proper employee termination process, I found myself facing a major crisis without EPLI (Employment Practices Liability Insurance), meaning I had to handle everything on my own. Before finding Charles, I reached out to a few other attorneys; the moment they heard the case might go to trial, they flat-out refused and said they were only willing to offer basic advice.
?Thank goodness we had Charles representing us. When the case reached the government agency, the official didn’t even carefully review the evidence we submitted and instead pressured us to settle. Charles immediately stepped in by writing a firm, professional email reminding the official to properly re-examine all our evidence, including the video transcript documentation. That intervention completely turned our case around.

Charles is a man of true integrity and a strong sense of justice. He chooses to stand by employers—a challenging and often thankless role—and he truly helps small business owners navigate away from legal quagmires.

To any fellow small business owner: if you have employees, you should definitely establish a connection with Charles. He will help you avoid countless legal pitfalls and disasters. I give him my highest recommendation.
