Charles Hartley

Charles Hartley has been living and practicing law in San Diego County since 2001.

Charles earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Idaho. He worked in Monterey, CA, prior to moving to San Diego.

In a previous career, he worked as a special agent with the Department of State's Diplomatic Security Service, completing assignments in Washington, DC; La Paz, Bolivia; and Lome, Togo.

Though he is currently registered to vote as a Republican, his politics trend toward Libertarian. He believes in civil liberties and individual responsibility, restoration of habeas corpus for everyone, and has a long-held interest in coastal access issues that tries to balance his love of going to the beach with an aspiration to someday own a home on the beach.

He is single because getting married to the love of his life would unravel the very fabric of society as we know it, but lives with his partner in Escondido.
