Charles E. Pell: Candidate Statement

CHARLES E. PELL
Former Federal Criminal Prosecutor

For 20 years, I served Orange County as a federal criminal prosecutor—guided by integrity, fairness, and independence. I protected our community by prosecuting violent criminals, child exploitation, public corruption, international money laundering, and those who exploited seniors.

Orange County deserves a judge with an even temperament and proven courtroom experience. I bring both, backed by high-stakes jury trials. As your judge, everyone will get a fair hearing. I’ll listen—treating everyone with dignity and respect. I’ll apply the law fairly and impartially, clearly explaining my rulings.

I’m a United States Navy Veteran (Intelligence Officer) and former public-school teacher—experiences that strengthened my discipline, objectivity, and patience. USC Law graduate, bilingual in Spanish, with math and economics degrees, I’ll bring judgment and common sense to court.

With the FBI and Orange County DA, I prosecuted an Orange County Supervisor for bribery. I also convicted a bank manager who stole $1.2 million from elderly customers, an attorney defrauding struggling homeowners, and COVID relief scammers—recovering millions for victims. California Lawyer honored me as “Attorney of the Year” for convicting 53 defendants in a scheme to steal $250,000,000 from taxpayers.

Orange County is home—we’re raising our family here.

Vote Charles Pell for Orange County Superior Court Judge.
