About Charles R. Mathis
Charles R. Mathis IV earned a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Temple University in 2006. He went on to receive his Juris Doctor from Widener University Delaware School of Law in 2013, where he studied Law & Trial Advocacy. Those academic years set a steady path from support roles into the practice of law.
Mathis began his legal career in support positions. In 2007 he worked as a legal assistant at Bathgate, Wegener & Wolf, P.C., and in 2009 he served as a paralegal at Marshall Dennehey Warner Coleman & Goggin, P.C. Those early roles exposed him to firm operations and courtroom preparation. They also offered a practical complement to his law school training.
After completing his J.D., Mathis moved into lawyer roles. In 2013 he joined Merlin Law Group, P.A. as a lawyer. He later became an associate at Levinson Axelrod, P.A. in 2018. In 2021 he took a position as a lawyer with Maggs McDermott & DiCicco, LLC. His resume traces a steady climb through law firm environments of different sizes and specialties.
Mathis is licensed to practice in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Those dual admissions have shaped the geography of his work and the regulatory contexts he navigates for clients. Over time he has worked on matters that required attention to procedural detail and courtroom readiness, an emphasis that echoes his trial advocacy training.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in his approach to case preparation and attentive to the practical needs of clients. He has experience drafting pleadings, managing discovery, and preparing witnesses for testimony. He also has handled matters that required coordination across state lines, reflecting the realities of practicing in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Outside the courtroom, Mathis’s trajectory shows a willingness to take on varied responsibilities. He has moved from support positions to front-line litigation work. That transition gave him perspective on how different roles contribute to a case strategy and to client service.
He is currently based at Maggs McDermott & DiCicco, LLC. He handles matters that arise in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and continues to work on litigation and trial-related tasks in those jurisdictions.
