Firm websiteLawyer ID in OLPR search: 0260666

Draft for human review. This entry came from AI research on the firm's site and the OLPR search. No person has reviewed it, and we have not spoken with this attorney or firm. Being listed is not a recommendation.

At a glance

What we could and couldn’t confirm

This lists what the official search showed and what we did not read. It does not score or compare lawyers. Each item is detailed, with its source and date, further down.

Read in the official OLPR search

  • Authorized to practice in Minnesota: Yes. Admitted 10/27/1995.
  • Public decision issued: No. That is this one search field; the official record below has the wording.
  • Firm profile matches the OLPR row: partial. That counts how many details agree. It is not a finding about the lawyer.

The firm says, not checked another way

  • What the firm says about the first meeting.

Not confirmed

  • Fees. We did not find them on the pages we read.
  • Access and language support. We did not find it.
  • The attorney registration record. The state’s search asks for a reCAPTCHA check, so we did not read it.
  • Whether the firm’s statements are current, or true for your matter.
  • Skill, results, responsiveness or fit. A website and a public record cannot show these.

Before you call

Questions to ask Charles’s office

Built from what this firm’s own pages say and what we could not find. The same list is not used for every firm.

  1. Your website describes the fee as: “Not stated on the pages we read.” Does that cover my situation, and what would be extra?
  2. Your website says: “Free case evaluation (firm claim).” Is that still current, and how long is the meeting?
  3. Who at Segal Defense, P.A. will do the work, and who will I hear from?
  4. Will you give me the fee in writing before I decide?
  5. Do you offer interpreters, remote meetings or a location I can reach without stairs, if I need them?
  6. What have you seen in situations like mine that I should plan for?

The pages we read did not state: Law school and admission year; Fee figures. Ask if these matter to you.

Official record

Official record

  • Registration system

    Not checked. The attorney registration search asks for a reCAPTCHA check before showing results, so we did not read this record. Please look it up yourself. Lawyer ID 0260666, as shown in the OLPR search, should find this record.
  • Authorization, as shown in the OLPR search

    The OLPR lawyer search row for CHARLES RAYMOND SEGAL (BLOOMINGTON) shows "Authorized to practice in MN?" as YES and a date admitted to the Minnesota bar of 10/27/1995.

    Official record checked

    olpr.mncourts.gov · Checked by AI research draft, human review pending

    Limits: This is the OLPR search, not the registration system. Matched by name and city. Search by name or Lawyer ID to see the current row; results have no permanent link.

  • Does the firm profile match the OLPR row? Partial match

    Lawyer ID 0260666 returns one OLPR row: SEGAL, CHARLES RAYMOND, admitted 10/27/1995, Bloomington. The firm page names Charles Segal and a Bloomington office and states over 30 years of practice.

    Official record checked

    olpr.mncourts.gov · Checked by AI research draft, human review pending

    Limits: Name and city agree; the stated years of practice are consistent with a 1995 admission but are not an admission year. Results have no permanent link. Strong, partial and unresolved describe how many independent details agree. They are not a finding about the lawyer.

  • Public discipline, as shown in the OLPR search

    The OLPR lawyer search row for CHARLES RAYMOND SEGAL (BLOOMINGTON) shows "Public decision issued?" as NO.

    Official record checked

    olpr.mncourts.gov · Checked by AI research draft, human review pending

    Limits: OLPR states that only public matters are available. Private discipline, dismissed complaints and pending complaints are not shown. This says nothing about skill or suitability. Matched by name and city.
