About Charles
Charles Laputka built a steady, practical path into law. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Administration of Justice from the University of Pittsburgh in 2000, then completed his J.D. at Duquesne University School of Law in 2003. Those classroom years framed his understanding of criminal justice and courtroom procedure, and they set the stage for his early legal work.
His first listed role is as an associate lawyer at Dennis Spyra & Associates in 2002. That position came at a formative moment. He then moved on to Tallman Hudders & Sorrentino as an associate in 2004. Those years in associate roles exposed him to day-to-day client work, courtroom preparation and the rhythms of firm practice.
In 2008 he launched Laputka Law Office, LLC and serves as owner and managing partner. Running his own firm shifted his responsibilities. He handles administrative oversight, case intake and the practical demands of keeping a small firm running. The change also meant making decisions about which matters the office would accept and how to allocate staff and resources.
Laputka is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania, admitted in 2003, and maintains an active license. His career has remained rooted in the state’s courts and legal community. Over time he has balanced client advocacy and firm management, moving between the detail work of case preparation and the broader task of guiding a business that delivers legal services.
Colleagues and clients see him as a practitioner who knows the procedural side of litigation and the administrative requirements of running a law office. His résumé is straightforward: solid legal training, early experience in established practices, then forming his own firm and maintaining it for years. That continuity appears to have shaped the way his office operates and the expectations he brings to client matters.
Outside of headline accomplishments, his record is notable for steadiness. He has been listed as a lawyer since 2003 and has stayed active in that role. His day-to-day work blends file management, client communication and courtroom preparation when cases require it. He continues to lead Laputka Law Office, LLC and to practice law in Pennsylvania, managing the firm’s operations across its offices and attending to client matters in state jurisdiction.
