Charles Needle

Charles Needle is a true legend in the Connecticut legal community, having practiced law since 1963. He’s a Yale Law and Harvard grad who spent over five decades as a major force in commercial and real estate law, even co-founding one of the state’s most distinguished firms. In 2018, he brought that massive wealth of knowledge to Needle Cuda as "Of Counsel." These days, Charles uses his decades of experience to help untangle some of the most complex marital estates you can imagine. He’s the person the firm turns to when a divorce involves elaborate trusts, high-level business valuations, or extensive real estate holdings. He doesn’t just look at a file, he builds a roadmap to settlement that ensures every asset is correctly evaluated. Beyond the law, Charles has been a leader in the community for years, serving as the President of the Harvard Club of Southern Connecticut and even running for the State Senate at one point. Having him on the team means our clients get the kind of seasoned, sophisticated advice that only comes from fifty years at the top of the legal profession.
