These comments were made by fellow attorneys during the annual nomination process.

“Mr. Sturm is a skilled legal advocate specializing in labor/employment law but highly competent in several other areas. While skilled in all phases of civil trial law, Charles's strength lies in his ability to see the "big picture" in all disputes and to tailor his legal strategy accordingly. Although he does not office with me or constitute a part of my firm, I consider Charles to be a very valuable resource in my practice in that I often consult with him on procedural and evidentiary matters. His knowledge of general substantive law is also such that he typically either knows the answer to a legal problem or can provide valuable direction for finding resolution. While I could continue to laud praise on Charles regarding his sense of ethics and civility, I believe the above is sufficient to demonstrate his qualifications as a Texas Super Lawyer. Should you wish to speak with me further about this matter, feel free to contact me by email or phone (713.229.0699).”
