Attorney Charles Thompson Joins the Team
Charles is appreciative of the unique perspective that the Guardian Ad Litem Program gave him. “Adoption is rare, but we had an adoption of a child from Haiti who was disabled. It was an amazing story,” Charles says. “He has a rare disease that only 100 people in the world have. He has only one working hand, he’s lost all his siblings, and he’s an artist. He’s just an incredible person. Despite all he’s been through, he is so full of life. It was great to be part of that.” Charles joins the Bruce Law Firm with experiences like these (and nine years of marital and family law experience at another Palm Beach County law firm) to our firm. After meeting attorney Christopher Bruce, Charles says it was Chris’ personality and reputation that made it clear this was the right fit. “Chris has a good reputation, and he has a good personality. He’s humble, organized, intelligent, and on top of things. There’s a lot to like about him as someone to work with, and for,” Charles says. When he’s not working on a case, Charles spends time with his wife and their 2-year- old. “Any spare time goes to that,” Charles says. Of his daughter, Charles says, “She’s amazing. It’s wonderful to get to spend time with her.” He is appreciative of his new coworkers’ shared experience of raising little ones. “It’s nice to understand that’s a priority in all our lives,” says Charles.
Prior to joining Bruce Law Firm this summer, attorney Charles Thompson was busy building his expertise in family and marital law. After finishing law school, Charles worked in the Guardian Ad Litem Program, which is a department that looks out for the best interests of children who are part of the dependency court system. “It’s a realm of law that deals with making sure kids are okay when they’re in the system,” Charles explains.
We’re so happy to welcome this compassionate and experienced attorney to our team. Welcome, Charles!
