Houston Volunteer Lawyers Spotlights Charelle Fluker

The Houston Bar Association’s Houston Volunteer Lawyers (HVL) organization has spotlighted Shook Associate Charelle Fluker. Fluker practices out of Houston and is a member of the firm’s Product Liability Litigation Practice Group. 

Below is an excerpt from the interview. 

What impact has your work with HVL had on your professional and personal journey?

“My work with HVL has had a tremendous impact on both my professional and personal growth,” said Fluker. “Professionally, it has strengthened my client communication skills and expanded my courtroom experience, including opportunities to work with Judge Steve Duble. These experiences have increased my confidence when interacting with judges, advising clients, and advocating on behalf of community members. Personally, the most meaningful aspect has been seeing the direct impact of my efforts on the lives of Houstonians. Whether helping tenants avoid housing instability, assisting individuals seeking expungements, or working in the Family Law Clinic to draft divorce petitions for women seeking to leave abusive marriages, each experience has reinforced the importance of access to justice. It is truly an honor to provide legal assistance in a community that I am proud to call a new home. HVL has allowed me to combine my passion for service with my legal training in a way that creates meaningful change for those who need it most.”
