Charles earned his J.D., cum laude, from the University of Georgia School of Law and a B.A. from New York University. At Georgia Law, he served on the Georgia Law Review and participated in mock trial and moot court. He received scholarships and competition honors and gained in-chambers experience through internships with federal judges in the Northern and Southern Districts of Georgia.

Charles previously practiced at Kirkland & Ellis LLP in New York, where he represented corporations in high-stakes securities and commercial litigation. Earlier, he interned with the Orleans Public Defenders and worked as a paralegal at a New York white-collar criminal defense firm. Those roles exposed him to case strategy, document-intensive litigation, and courtroom preparation from several perspectives before he moved into catastrophic injury and medical malpractice representation in Georgia.
