Dedicated and impressive lawyer

I have had the pleasure of working with Makayla Caliri for 2 years on my custody and child support case. It was an extremely complicated case with a long history and background. It was sensitive and traumatic. Somehow Makayla made this case less burdensome and stressful. She did everything in her pow...er to make sure we achieved what was not only needed but wanted in our family case. My child is free of the agony he endured during the long years I struggled in the court system. Makayla is compassionate, intelligent and so dedicated to the work she is committed to. My family is truly blessed to have been able to get her on our side of the fight.

Custody Case

I was battling my ex-husband for years in court and my attorney at the time was not even responding to me. My ex had been repeatedly harassing me and taking me to court over ridiculous things to get more custody and not to pay child support. We had been through 5 judges and it seemed never-ending. M...akayla was recommended to me by a co-worker. Makayla and her office were supportive and kept in touch with me regularly and got an almost 6-year battle settled in less than 8 months. She showed strength when dealing with a very difficult male attorney and did not back down. My ex did not get any additional custody and he now has to pay me the retro child support he had not been paying the entire time. I was impressed with her strength and knowledge at her age and can only assume she will continue to grow as a successful attorney who gets results.

Makayla Caliri Review

Makayla Caliri worked with me on my recent divorce. I am a single mom with a four year old daughter and an ex husband who made things a little difficult by dragging everything out. Once Makayla was assigned to my case she did a great job of forcing my ex to move things along and didn't take no for an... answer. She did a great job of working with the opposing attorney and standing ground on the things that were important to me (time with my child, doing what was in the best interest of my child, and child support). She helped to make my points clear that I was standing firm on and helped me understand the whole process of divorce. As someone who had never needed a lawyer before or been to court, she helped me to understand the process and what to expect. She was great and always quick to respond to any question I had. I would definitely recommend her.
