Attorney Client Comments
"Chuck Price represented our family as plaintiffs in a grueling four-and-a-half-year securities and breach of contract case against a succession of huge public companies represented by nationally prominent law firms. With his unwavering dedication, legal expertise, and patient counsel, we reached a satisfactory settlement. This result was based, in large part, on his preparation and development of the case for trial and on the recognition by opposing counsel that Chuck was more than equal to the task and would not be overwhelmed at trial or on appeal. In view of his demeanor, enthusiasm, understanding, and rather astounding ability to establish rapport with people from all walks of life, I value Chuck as a friend and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of his professional counsel and services."
Howard Ohlhausen, Unelko Corporation, Scottsdale
"Mr. Price has consistently demonstrated a unique ability to identify the true substance of a situation. He is a master of negotiations with an eye towards resolution rather than conflict. For the past 10 years we have worked with Chuck on a wide variety of business issues and contract negotiations. In all instances, Chuck has prevailed in obtaining resolution in our favor without the need to enter legal litigation. I consider Chuck not only a great legal professional, but a great business consultant as well. Chuck is my number one choice for all matters related to business negotiations, dispute resolution, and legal representation."
