CHARLES GILES (Senior
Partner)

trainee solicitor in Bracknell.
Initially, as was common at that time Charles practised in several areas
of law and did a large amount of personal injury and matrimonial work.
In 1983 he became a partner in the firm and stayed there until 1986 when
he left to open CJ Giles & Co. Over the last 15
years Charles has specialised in conveyancing, wills and probate and has
a friendly but professional approach to all the legal matters he handles.
ANN DOBSON (Partner)
Ann qualified in 1980, having relocated from Kent,
where she completed her articles, and worked as an employed solicitor in
Wokingham, prior to joining Charles Giles in partnership in 1992.
Initially Ann practised in both litigious and non-litigious fields,
having had general experience in her training. It became obvious to Ann
that there was a need to specialise, and in recent years Ann has
concentrated on Conveyancing, Wills and Probate. Having been practising
in Wokingham for over 20 years, Ann has seen a lot of changes in the locality,
and she feels her knowledge of both living and working in the area can
benefit those clients, who themselves are relocating into the town.
