"They changed my life. They made a difference for me, and it’s a ripple effect. I get calls from across the U.S. about how to adapt a car. I get calls from people who need mentors. I talked to a girl from Hawaii. I am able to help all these people. I volunteer at a dog rescue, and I do all the dog intake. I can help all these people because they helped me."
"I don’t think anyone would have fought as hard or done as much work as they did on my behalf to get me to the place I was able to end up."
"I spent over a decade with my son in therapy every day, and all of that combined doesn’t hold a candle to meeting Charla Aldous and what she did for our family. If a true dark day descends on my life, there’s only one person I’m going to call. It’s not a family member, it’s not a former teammate, it’s not a fellow coach, it’s not a guy I grew up with. It’s Charla Aldous."
"I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t eat by myself. All of that was pretty hard. Charla came personally to our apartment where we were staying, and she told us she was going to be there for us — she was going to help us."
“You have blessed our family in so many ways, it's unmeasurable. I don't have the words to explain to you the magnitude of thankfulness and gratitude we have for you and your team. . . . [M]y favorite book of the bible is Esther. . . . Her character is solid and secure. She never forgot where she came from and why she was fighting. She turned the tables on the enemies and was victorious. You have what Esther had. I see it in you and I get tears in my eyes knowing I am witnessing a modern day heroine. I'm honored to have met you, Charla. The fact that you are fighting for my daughter... A gift I will carry all my life.”
“What has happened hasn't been easy but you helped me accomplished nearly everything I set out to. I think I had the best team with me in that mediation room. All of you really were my guardian angels. I believe we were supposed to cross paths. I am so happy for any future clients of yours. Not because of the circumstances under which you meet but because they are receiving the best help in all aspects of their case. You are the best friend, the legal counsel, and the advocate. You may have only been my counsel for a few short weeks but those are the weeks where I saw change and where I gained control of my life again. I could never say thank you enough or make you understand the impact that you have made on me. I look forward to finally closing this chapter and opening the next. I cannot wait to see what it holds. All of the thanks in the world.”
“Thank you for helping me fight to be who I am. I never could be as strong as I am today without you.. You are an incredible person. I am thankful for all you did for me. I love you all dearly.”
“Words could not express enough how grateful we are for your support of our family. Thank you for all you did on our behalf.”
“Please tell everyone how much we appreciated everything that everyone had done for us. You all are amazing human beings.”
“Thank you so much for all of your hard work and effort on our behalf. From the first time we met you, we felt an instant connection with you. You truly are a blessing; the world could use more people like you!”
“As I have told you before, I believe you are an angel and you were my angel during the hardest time in my life. I am so thankful for your support, love, and strength you gave me. You put me back together after I had been broken. You showed me how to grow in a positive way from something so negative. You made it possible for me to take my struggle and grow and thrive from it. You saved me. Thank you for believing in me, loving me, guiding me, supporting me, fixing me, and making me who I am today. I love you so much and you mean so much to me.”
“I know we are down to a long, last shot here, but I really appreciate the efforts of the entire team, and just want that to be known. Whether or not this last effort succeeds, we all know one thing: we turned the health care for the poor in Dallas upside down, and made it better- much, much better. And for that, we should be proud.”
“Thanks for helping us! We appreciate everything and your continued support. Even though her dreams were cut short by the accident, we know she will be taken care of and in her heart she knows our kids will be too.”
“After almost 4 years from being stuck in the house due to the accident, today my son is getting his vehicle fully equipped with all the medical and life necessities needed to make it easier for us to travel to places with him. There is no holding him back now! A road trip with him is going to make up all these years he has been left in the house! This is putting tears in my eyes. I’m so happy this finally happened! Thank you Charla Aldous.”
“Just wanted to thank all of you for all your exceptional work up to this point and wish you all the very best over the next few days. I'm extremely confident that we'll get the result we deserve and then we can put this all behind us.”
“We love you and our legal support team so much. I also have tears as I type this. Everything you said is so true. We are so grateful for everything that you all have done for us. You helped her find her voice, gave her the strength to use her voice, and believed in her. Victory on so many different levels. As you can tell from the conversation you had with her, she is doing very well. She now has a bright future ahead of her, something we were not so sure of 2 years ago. You helped to save her, and us. There has never been a doubt that we did the right thing, never. We fought hard and won big.”
“Thank you for all that you do for us! We appreciate all of your hard work!”
“I wanted to protect those who supported me and buy them time to find jobs. Both suffered because they stood by me, losing their jobs. I also wanted those responsible to be held accountable for what they did. It was more than enough for me to watch what Charla and Brian did....it is worth millions. No matter how the case unfolded, I know we won!”
“Thank you for all you’ve done for our family. We are grateful for your diligent work, long hours and dedication to our case. You have truly made a difference in the girls’ lives!”
“Thank you for helping us all stay sane. I will never forget what you did for our family. Life is good.”
“I heard of your stellar performance! You do have God given talents that the Lord has endowed you with abundantly. Thank you for your hard work, perseverance, and tenacity. We are so blessed that God brought you into our lives. We can’t stop sharing about what a perfect “artist” you are in your delivery and your expertise. May God continue to have His Mighty and powerful Hand on you.”
“You are a good lawyer Charla, you fight the good fight and I believe your heart is in the right place. In the future if I ever pass on any more lawyer jokes, I will always be sure to include the phrase “except these lawyer friends of mine” because I believe you are all heads and shoulders above the rest. From my heart, thank you!”- C.U.
“I deeply appreciate the fact that you believed in us. You took a family that was in hell and put us back up on the road to recovery...Not only have you been our lawyer and therapist, you have been our friend. You picked up our fight and helped us make some changes and in doing that helped us all to not feel so helpless. For that I will be forever grateful. I know that you and a host of other people should receive our heartfelt thanks and deepest appreciation.”
“We want to thank each of you for your guidance and support during the last couple of years. We feel so blessed to have been embraced by each of you through this journey. We understand that yesterday’s results are the pure outcome of your hard work and belief in our child. The words “thank you” just doesn’t seem to be enough. We wish you continued success in your new business endeavor. I know you will continue to bless and help many people along the way.”
“If you don’t do another thing for us, you have already changed our lives significantly. You are a credit to your profession and a tribute to our Lord. We love you tons!”
“We are so thankful to have you in our life. I feel blessed from the Lord to have you in my life. You are like a part of our family. Thank you for everything. God Bless You.”
“The gift I sent you symbolizes the confidence and power you not only exude, but that you empower your clients with. I hope it helps you remember that you changed the life of one client and she will never forget it or the work you do. Never stop doing what you do, there are too many people who need attorneys like you.”
“Thank you for all you’ve done for our family. We are grateful for your diligent work, long hours and dedication to Dru’s case. You have truly made a difference in the girls’ lives!”
“We want to thank you so much for everything you did for our family. We are so lucky to have a wonderful friend and outstanding representation as you. The hard work and dedication of yourself and your team is greatly appreciated.”
"2020 is a new year and if it weren’t for you and your herculean efforts we would have never won justice for our daughter. The burden of injustice was lifted and for that I will be forever grateful.
We will finally be free to hope for new things, hope for peace and tranquility in our lives. Hope may be the single most important quality of life. It gives us the ability to carry on during extraordinarily difficult circumstances.And thank you both this one last time for all that you have done for us and for gifting us with the life giving opportunity of peace and freedom which was only possible with justice.”
"This team brought us a jury that saw Hunter as a person and asserted to the world the cruel injustice of his death. This team delivered our son back from the shadows, into the light.
You gave Hunter a voice. You made him real to the jury, to the Judge, to the court, and to the people of Dallas. You made Hunter Brown real to Greyhound Lines, forcing that multinational behemoth to recognize Hunter as a human being – and in so doing, to acknowledge the basic human value of each person stepping onto a Greyhound bus.
We were lost. You guided us home. We will never cease to be grateful.”
