Biography

Charles Waterbury has practiced law in Texas since he earned his license in 1992, founding the law firm of Crocker & Waterbury in 1998.

The son of Mark H. Waterbury, III, (retired U. S. Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel) and Kathryn Anderson Waterbury, Charles graduated from Arlington Lamar High School in 1985. He earned a Bachelor of Science from Texas Christian University, graduating cum laude in 1989, with a major in political science and a minor in history. TCU recognized Charles for his stellar academic performance, awarding him Dean's List honors in four semesters and University Scholar distinction (for a perfect 4.0 GPA) in two semesters. After graduating from TCU, Charles entered Baylor University's School of Law. At Baylor, he earned an invitation to join the Order of Barristers. Charles's formal education culminated in 1992, when he graduated with his juris doctorate (J. D.).

Charles began his legal practice immediately after law school at the law firm of Gwinn & Roby, specializing in insurance defense. However, his work at Gwinn & Roby also included litigation of cases involving tobacco companies, medical malpractice, and products liability. In 1996, Charles left Gwinn & Roby and since that time has dedicated his legal career to personal injury cases and immigration law, starting the law firm of Crocker & Waterbury in 1998.

A member of the Dallas Bar Association, Charles actively participates in their Law in the Schools program. Through this program, he regularly speaks about the practice of law at local elementary, middle, and high schools. The goal is to teach students how to better prepare themselves for possible legal careers.

Charles married Jillian Barna, a registered nurse, on 1 December 1990. Together, they are raising two daughters: two-year-old Elizabeth Katharine (Ella) and newborn (14 July) Charlotte Ann.
