Charles D. Stark, Attorney and Counselor at Law

Experienced and Adaptable Practice

I am Charles Stark, founding attorney of the Sonoma County law office of Charles D. Stark, Attorney & Counselor at Law, and I have built this practice to be an effective advocate for clients. Cases can be complex, regardless of the amount of money involved. We handle both large and small estates in need of experienced representation. I represent clients across a

wide spectrum of family law, estate planning, business law and real estate matters, including:

Litigation
Negotiation
Mediation
Collaborative Law
Document Creation
Legal Review

I, Charles D. Stark, have practiced on both coasts and bring value of over 35 years of experience to serve clients with both income and property arrangements in family law, business and estate planning related matters. While my individual practice is designed to provide personal attention, it shares resources in a large firm setting to provide full client service. Whether you need a lawyer that can go into a courtroom and fight aggressively to meet your goals, or you need the services of an attorney that can help you draft and review complex financial documents, I am prepared and equipped to assist you. Taking the initiative and preventative law is often the best strategy. Experience breeds familiarity, which means that after 35 years I have a strong range of knowledge and skills from which to build strategies toward success. My decades of successful legal practice have been in a range of legal disciplines, such as mediation, trust administration and criminal prosecution. I have an established record of success in and out of the courtroom, have worked diligently to hone my skills and evolve my practice to current legal thinking and have developed a strong understanding of complex legal issues. This experience has given me a set of tools that I employ effectively in my current areas of practice. Protect your Family and Preserve your Wealth

I am able to take the experience I have gathered and apply it to the complex financial and legal needs of clients in areas of:

Family Law
Estate Planning
Real Estate Law
Business Law

I take an interdisciplinary approach to my practice, which means, for example, that I employ my knowledge of business law to the efforts of asset protection in a divorce or the creation of a trust. With the tools available to me, built from my experience, I am able to handle cases for a comprehensive range of clients. I am accessible and sensitive to respond to any clients' personal needs. I establish a personal relationship with my clients so I am able to help them when they face a crisis, as well as to help them prevent a crisis.
