Serving Clients At The State And Federal Level in Citrus, Sumter, Lake, Hernando, Marion County, and Throughout Central Florida. My name is Charles P. Vaughn and for over 30 years, I've been dedicated to assisting families and individuals throughout west central Florida with their legal needs.

As a member of Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (FACDL) I also serve on the Board of Directors, and I am the Chairman of the Indigent Defense Committee, and President of the Suncoast Chapter of FACDL, I've had the privilege of advocating for my community both locally and throughout the state of Florida.

Services
I, Charles P. Vaughn, have more than 30 years of experience representing clients in Citrus County and throughout Florida for a variety of family law and criminal law needs. An experienced trial lawyer and graduate of Washburn University School of Law in Topeka, Kansas, in 1981, I've been licensed to practice law in Florida since 1987.
Charles P. Vaughn has over thirty years of experience as a criminal defense and family law attorney. Mr. Vaughn handles misdemeanor, felony, and capital felony cases, and he is a death-qualified attorney for capital cases. He also handles wills and all matters of family law, including: adoption, divorce, spousal support, premarital agreements, paternity, child custody, visitation, and child support.
Whether it's for a minor drug possession charge, a white collar crime, child pornography or a violent crime, people get arrested every day and face an uncertain future. If you're facing charges of any kind, you need a criminal defense lawyer who will help you understand all your rights and options and who will fight vigorously to protect your freedom.
Of all legal issues one might face, those involving family are often the most difficult. When facing a divorce or custody dispute, you are being asked to make practical and consequential decisions when you feel least equipped to think rationally. At Charles P. Vaughn, Attorney at Law, I take on two important roles in each family law case.

My case is still not over, but thus far, Mr Vaughn has made me feel safe from an abusive marriage, his calm demeanor is so helpful. He's straight forward and tells it like it is... straight facts without fluff and theatrics. He's been attentive and communication has been excellent. I have every faith Mr Vaughn is putting the best efforts possible into my case and I'd hire him again if I needed him.

I can't believe there are so many 5 stars. Charlie didn't do anything to help me. He allowed my ex to harass me and continue to harass me. He filed all kinds of contempt motions against him, but nothing was ever done. Lots of money for nothing. I wished I could tell all my story.

Charlie and his team really went above and beyond for my husband and I with our adoption case. I had a few consultations before choosing my attorney, and I'm so glad that I went with Charles Vaughn and Associates. I couldn't be any more pleased with how our case was handled.

I highly recommend Mr. Vaughn and his staff. We live out of state so our whole case was handled remotely. Charles was very upfront with his advice and very assuring of what the outcome would be. Michelle was amazing to work with and after a few bumps in the road (beyond their control), our custody case was finalized and our family reunited. I am so grateful that I chose Charles and his caring staff to represent my family in our matter. Thanks again.

There should be a -5. Charles Vaughn stole my money (theft by deception.) He kept ALL my money and would not answer my calls or emails. When I finally got a response, he said he no longer practiced and I owed him $800. I NEVER got one day in court, even though I paid extra for an emergency court hearing.
He knew I lived 12 hours away and couldn't do anything. The worse thing is that my 6 year old granddaughter had to pay the consequences for his actions. I have never written a negative review before, but this thing should not be practicing anything. If you use him, get every detail in writing

If you need a lawyer, I highly recommend Mr. Vaughn and his staff. Crystal and Michelle are amazing to work with. They are exactly who you want to deal with while going through a bad time. You can tell they care about their clients. This office is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for criminal and family law.

Mr. Vaughn was retained for my step-son after he had an auto accident 11 years ago. Our family was pleased in the way he was represented. He was also very helpful when I needed advice after my daughter's accident. He responded to all my questions in a very timely manner, which helped us not be stressed in that situation.
I needed a will prepared recently on short notice, and Mr. Vaughn took care of that for me.
Mr. Vaughn is a well-informed attorney and very easy to speak with one on one. He is also a very good listener.
