If you were injured by the careless or negligent act of another, you need a skilled and aggressive attorney to track down the responsible party and hold them accountable. The physical, emotional and financial impact of serious injuries can last a lifetime. Since 2003, I have been helping people put their lives back together after motor vehicle, 18-wheeler and commercial truck accidents as well as brain and spinal cord injuries.
I help the injured get compensation that addresses not just their current bills, but also covers ongoing medical expenses and lost earning capacity. Prior to launching my own practice more than a decade ago, I worked in other law firms doing civil litigation and spent years working as a prosecutor in the Tulare and Mendocino District Attorney's Offices.

About
Report
I became a lawyer because I like helping people, I like sticking up for people, and I hate bullies. When you're accused of a crime, all of the power and resources of the entire society are brought to bear against you. It's you (and your lawyer) against the police, the district attorney's office, the court system, your accusers - basically, it's you against the world.
Personal Injury
Report
A catastrophic accident can upend your life in an instant. If you have been seriously injured, it can be difficult to focus on healing and securing compensation for a careless act. This is where I come in. I'm Charles W. Applegate, a personal injury attorney and founder of Applegate Law Office in Santa Rosa.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Report
Sonoma County's roads are among the most picturesque in California, but they are not free of collision hazards. Serious motor vehicle collisions regularly occur here on county roads, city streets and busy intersections. If you have been involved in a crash in Sonoma County, a Santa Rosa personal injury attorney can guide you through the legal process and help you build a strong accident claim.
Criminal Defense
Report
You could be charged with a misdemeanor offense. You could be facing allegations of domestic violence. Whatever your criminal matter, you need to take this situation seriously. Arrest records and criminal records can follow you throughout your life, hurting your job options and your reputation. If you have found yourself on the wrong side of the law, turn to me, criminal defense attorney Charles Applegate.
