Charles Star is a contract attorney currently working with Morvillo, Abramowitz, Grand, Iason & Anello, P.C. and in the process of opening a solo practice. His contract attorney work focuses on securities, antitrust and general commercial litigation, as well as white-collar criminal defense. For his solo practice he intends to focus on residential real estate closings, drafting of personal contracts and wills and freelance brief writing.
Prior to working as a contract attorney, Mr. Star was a litigation associate at Kelley, Drye & Warren LLP, the former Solomon, Zauderer, Ellenhorn, Frischer & Sharp and Proskauer Rose LLP. He left the world of commercial litigation to begin a career as a stand-up comedian. As this is the first you've heard of him, you can imagine how that went, but it wasn't without its victories, including performances at comedy festivals in New York, Portland and San Francisco and a five-year run hosting a popular lecture series in Brooklyn.
Mr. Star attended the Columbia University School of Law after getting his BS and MPA from Cornell University. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, son and cat, all of whom deserve superlative adjectives.
