About Charles Ocampo

Charles Ocampo is an associate of M&P Law offices with a powerful story of resilience, personal growth, and professional excellence. A graduate of Texas Christian University (TCU) he earned his degree in Political science with honors, magna cum laude. While at TCU, he was on the Moot Court team qualifying for nationals, and an integral part of the Rugby team that made it to the State collegiate championship. He then went to law school at St. Mary’s University graduating in 2013. While at St. Mary’s, Charles was on the mock trial team that competed nationally, and he was awarded Mock Trial Advocate of the year.

Background

Throughout his career, Charles has demonstrated a passion for advocating on behalf of his clients, building a reputation as a tenacious and compassionate litigator. However, in 2018 he made the difficult decision to voluntarily resign his license to practice law to focus on his personal journey of recovery. During this time, he found a new purpose and perspective working as a paralegal here at the M&P Law offices. In 2024, after years of hard work and dedication in both his personal and professional life, to include recovering from addiction and navigating his own divorce, Charles was successfully reinstated to the practice of law. These are the real-life experience Charles brings to every client, case, and the courtroom.

Client Testimonials

  • I had a great experience with M&P Law in Parker County. Charles Ocampo and Zach Pettigrew helped me settle my case in mediation, and I truly felt heard, … More protected, and respected throughout the process. The office staff was always kind, and every call and email was returned promptly. The billing was straightforward, and there were no unexpected charges, which made everything much easier. Their professionalism and transparency gave me confidence, and I highly recommend them.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Zach Pettigrew (attorney) and Charles Ocampo (paralegal at the time) at M and P Law Offices for my divorce. From the … More very beginning, they handled my case with exceptional care, supportiveness, perseverance, and most importantly, honesty. They were always professional, yet compassionate, and truly made a difficult process easier to navigate. While I hope to never need their services again (respectfully!), I would absolutely turn to them in a heartbeat if necessary. I highly recommend Zach and Charles for anyone in need of legal expertise.
