About David Michael
David Michael Charles is an attorney admitted to practice in Pennsylvania. He works from McKenna & Associates, P.C., where he handles a range of client matters for individuals and businesses in the state. Colleagues describe him as steady in the courtroom and methodical at the desk. He prefers clarity and practicality when explaining legal options to clients.
Charles’s path to practice has been shaped by steady work inside a law firm environment. He joined McKenna & Associates, P.C. and has since contributed to the firm’s daily legal work. He has taken on tasks that include drafting court papers, preparing client submissions, managing discovery, and appearing at hearings. His responsibilities have required attention to procedural detail and to the deadlines that drive litigation and transactional work alike.
He maintains current membership in professional organizations that serve the bar and legal community. That involvement keeps him connected to peers and to developments in Pennsylvania law. In the office he spends much of his time preparing cases and counseling clients on the practical consequences of legal choices. Outside of hearings and filings, that counseling often involves reviewing documents, negotiating terms, and advising on next steps so clients can make informed decisions.
On matters that proceed to court, Charles focuses on presenting clear legal arguments and on keeping clients informed through each stage of the process. He approaches preparation pragmatically: assemble the facts, frame the legal issues, and present a coherent narrative to judges or opposing counsel. His work often requires balancing legal strategy with the real-world needs of those he represents.
Clients and colleagues say he is straightforward in his communication. He avoids legal jargon when possible and aims to translate complex rules into actionable guidance. That approach can be useful for clients who need a plain assessment of risk and options rather than elaborate theory.
As a practicing attorney in Pennsylvania, Charles continues to work at McKenna & Associates, P.C., where his current practice focuses on representing clients in matters that arise under state law and in procedural matters before state tribunals.
