About Charles J.
Charles J. Hobbs built his legal foundation at Bloomsburg University, where he completed a bachelor’s degree in 2001 after studying political science, economics and public administration. He returned to the classroom a few years later and earned a J.D. from Widener University in 2008. Those academic environments gave him both a policy-minded perspective and grounding in doctrinal law.
After law school Hobbs entered practice in Pennsylvania. He is admitted to the bar in that state and also to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. His admissions allow him to work on matters that arise in state courts and at the federal appellate level. Over time he has handled filings, motions and other court processes that are part of civil practice in Pennsylvania courts and federal appellate procedure.
Hobbs’s undergraduate studies in political science, economics and public administration inform how he approaches legal problems. He tends to weigh statutory text alongside the policy implications of a particular position. That analytical blend often shapes the way he prepares briefs, evaluates evidence and advises clients on procedural questions.
Colleagues describe him as thorough in his preparation. He spends time on factual investigation and legal research before stepping into courtroom or appellate work. He also emphasizes clarity in written argument. Those habits reflect how he moved from classroom study at Widener into active practice in the state and federal systems that govern the region.
Broadly speaking, his career tracks the path of an attorney who moves between trial-court matters and appellate issues as circumstances require. He has maintained practice credentials that permit appearances in Pennsylvania courts and before the Third Circuit, and he manages the procedural demands that come with both levels. Clients and other lawyers rely on predictable, well-documented pleadings and reasoned legal analysis in those venues.
As of 2026 Hobbs continues to practice in Pennsylvania and remains admitted before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, handling matters that arise in state and federal courts.
