Charles is a native of Spring, Texas. He received a scholarship to attend Dedman School of Law at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. Early in his legal career, after serving as a briefing attorney for a trial judge, Charles worked with a large toxic tort law firm in Texas where he represented hundreds of children and adults whose homes and school had been constructed immediately adjacent to a toxic waste site, and who were experiencing a variety of illnesses, some of which were fatal. The site was ultimately assigned to the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Priorities List for remediation as part of the Superfund program. In 1998, he moved to a large toxic tort law firm in Dallas where he represented clients in more than 100 pharmaceutical cases — followed by a position with a nationally prominent law firm focused on victims of nursing home neglect and abuse.. In 2002, he was hired by a nationally prominent firm to represent those with mesothelioma and lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure, eventually becoming a Partner at the firm. In 2011, Charles resigned his Partnership to found the Valles Law Firm, and has continued to represent victims of asbestos exposure, as well as those who have been catastrophically injured and killed through the negligence of others.. There are often choices with respect to where a lawsuit may be filed, and Charles has personally handled and supervised lawyers handling asbestos-related mesothelioma and other cases in more than 20 states. Due to his former experience with complex medical and liability cases, for years he has regularly been asked to review and potentially handle cases which other attorneys have declined to accept.. Charles has heard from clients who have bad experiences with previous attorneys because that firm represented hundreds, if not thousands, of clients at a time and the individual felt like they were just a number. All clients have Charles’ personal cell phone number so that they can communicate with him whenever they need.. Charles is a member of the State Bar of Louisiana, the State Bar of Texas, the Louisiana Association of Justice, and the American Association for Justice.

Anita is a native Arizonan, who has been practicing law for nearly 30 years. She spent much of her youth working with her father's theater company, now known as the Arizona Theater Company. Since graduating from Arizona State University Law School in 1980, Anita practiced with a prominent private criminal defense attorney and then became a public defender in Maricopa County. After successfully defending many cases, she worked for the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest, where she became the coordinator for mental health services throughout Arizona. After her work at the public interest law firm, Anita returned to the Maricopa County Public Defender’s Office to become a trial group coordinator, responsible for supervising, managing, and training over 25 lawyers in trial skills.. Anita joined Steve Dawson at Thur, Dawson and O'Sullivan in 1987, and in 1995, they formed Dawson and Rosenthal. Ms. Rosenthal has litigated numerous civil cases during the course of her career; many of them resulting in multimillion dollar verdicts and settlements. Although she has managed many different types of cases in her career, Anita has concentrated on disability claims. Her trial in the case of Ceimo v. General American resulted in an $87 million verdict; the largest disability verdict in the country that year. The Ceimo case was quickly followed by Leavey v. Unum Provident, which resulted in a 20 million dollar verdict. Another of Anita's disability cases was featured on NBC's Dateline in 2002. Anita tried the case of Nardelli v. MetLife, resulting in a $55 million dollar verdict, and most recently, tried a toxic inhalation case against the State of Arizona (Clabough v. State of Arizona) resulting in a $4.3 million dollar judgment. In all, Anita has litigated well over 50 trials successfully, both criminal and civil.

All while I was growing up I was convinced that I wanted to be a surgeon. As I grew older and got involved in Mock Trial, my passion for the law began to grow. When I finally started college, I was sure that I wanted to do a double degree--MD and JD. Finally after two years into college, just one year away from graduation, I had a realization. I realized that being a surgeon was not pracitical for my life. My culture and idea of myself as a wife and eventually a mother just did not seem practical for a surgeon. Doing the work that I love and still being able to spend time and support my family is important to me. I feel blessed to have been able to come to this realization at such a young age. Now I am attorney and a wife, and I feel that I made the perfect decision for myself. I love what I do, and I am still able to support my family and make time for them in my life. Every case is a new adventure, and every client has an interesting story to tell.. A big part of my religion is about doing "seva," or service--some kind of service to help others. When I became pasionate about the law, I was excited about how I could use my work to follow in the principles of my religion. Doing seva is a big part of my life, and I am lucky that I am able to do work that I love that is a service to others.. Throughout my younger years I was inspired toward and developed a passion for immigration because of certain experiences. The first experience being that my family was able to help some young immigrant children in our community whose parents got deported by adopting them and filing for their papers. A few years ago they received their green cards, graduated from ASU with honors, and are now working hard to support their families back home. The second expeirence, being very near to my heart, was when I applied to sponsor my husband. Immigration has a very close place in my heart, and being from an ethnic background I feel that I can really relate to my client's situations on a deeper level.. I have always been open to working remotely, and I love to and am happy to travel when needed. Please do not let my location discourage you. Feel free to call me or email me if there is any way that you feel that I can serve you. I enjoy all areas of law, and I hope that this personal tidbit into my life while inspire you to give me an opporutnity to serve you!
