About Charles Michael Tarone

I have represented employees and commercial interests for over 30 years. I have advocated for individuals who have been victims of unlawful discrimination, retaliation, whistle blower retaliation, and civil rights deprivation. I have also represented owners, partners and corporations in a broad range of commercial litigation matters, including fraud, breach of contract, abuse government regulation, and other commercial matters. Across both employment and commercial cases, I confront wrongdoing head-on, expose abuse, and enforce accountability under the law. My loyalty to my clients—and the trust they place in me—is unwavering.

I offer a free one-hour consultation, represent clients on a contingent-fee basis, and provide pro-bono services in appropriate circumstances when justice demands it.

After earning degrees from Georgetown University and Georgetown Law, I law clerked for a prestigious federal judge in New York City, served in the U.S. Department of Justice, Attorney Executive Office of the President, President of the Counsellors, Master of the Inn of hte Brayant Inn of Court and Member of hte D.C. Board of Appeals

I spent decades representing individuals, domestic and international corporations in high-stakes litigation, non-litigation and regulatory matters, advising clients from small businesses and political figures to global enterprises across industries including aircraft manufacture, real estate development, intermodal container shipping, banking, healthcare, customs, investigations, insurance company regulation, lobbying and election law. That experience taught me to assess cases early, anticipate defenses, opposing strategies, and prosecute claims with precision and relentless focus.

Today, I bring that same in depth experience, intensity and trial-ready mindset to individuals who are the victims of discrimination, executives and growing companies who need an experienced lawyer prepared to fight—and win, whether in court or adminstrativdde agency and otherwise. Every case reflects a work ethic forged through years of competition in intercollegiate rowing: never retreat, press harder under pressure, finish strong, and prevail.

Hired Attorney

Mr. Tarone represented me against a large healthcare organization in an employment dispute over an ADA accommodation and a denied pension earned over 20 years of service. He gave me the courage to fight. He wrote clear briefs that clarified key issues, he provided top advocacy, with great negotiation skills. He was critical in obtaining a just settlement. Having never engaged a lawyer before in my life, at the time I felt his fees were expensive. I have since learned that what he charged was extremely fair and reasonable. His professionalism, candor, and reliability were on full display at all times. I wish to provide Mr. Tarone with an unqualified recommendation, which I seldom do for anyone.

Hired Attorney

I contacted Mr. Tarone after another lawyer told me there wasn’t much that could be done in my case. From our first consultation, he was prepared, asked detailed questions, and immediately spotted issues everyone else had missed. He kept me informed at every stage, responded quickly to emails and calls, and ultimately negotiated a resolution that avoided trial and kept my record clean.

Working with Attorney Tarone gave me real peace of mind. He was meticulous with the facts, aggressive when dealing with the government, and professional with the court and opposing counsel. What stood out the most was his integrity—he never overpromised, but he delivered exactly what he said he would do and more. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who needs serious, skilled representation.

Attorney Tarone helped me through one of the most stressful experiences of my life. He was calm, honest about my options, and explained the process in plain language so I never felt blindsided. The result he achieved was far better than I expected, and I always felt he genuinely cared about protecting my future.
