Charles J. Fink grew up in John Steinbeck’s hometown of Salinas, California, and then spent more than a decade in New York City, where he earned his undergraduate degree from New York University and worked for a financial printer overseeing U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulatory filings. He moved to Florida in 2014 and went on to earn his Juris Doctor, magna cum laude, from the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where he served as Articles Editor for the Florida Law Review.

Before entering private practice, Mr. Fink served as an Assistant State Attorney in Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit. During his tenure, he prosecuted thousands of cases and developed specialized expertise in the prosecution of economic crimes, domestic violence, and animal cruelty matters. He first-chaired numerous jury trials and directed complex financial crime investigations in coordination with law enforcement agencies.

At Dean, Ringers, Morgan & Lawton, Mr. Fink focuses his practice on liability defense, with particular experience representing municipalities, and defending law enforcement clients in federal civil rights litigation under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Mr. Fink is admitted to practice in all Florida state trial courts and the U.S. District Courts for the Middle and Southern Districts of Florida. He is a member of The Florida Bar, the Orange County Bar Association, and the Osceola County Bar Association.

He brings to each matter a commitment to trial-tested and strategic advocacy in defense of his clients’ interests.
