Sharp as whip, highly recommended!

I feel very fortunate that Attorney Makayla Caliri accepted my case after I chose to switch legal representation. She immediately impressed me with her sharp intellect and ability to quickly absorb and analyze the complexities of my situation, which involved a challenging financial picture and intern...ational assets. Attorney Caliri was consistently professional, responsive, and solution-oriented. She maintained a positive, can-do attitude throughout the legal proceedings, which helped bring about a fair and satisfactory outcome. Her strategic thinking and attention to detail were clear at every step. I also want to commend her office staff, particularly the paralegal team, for their high-quality work in preparing court documents. The billing process was transparent, which I greatly appreciated. If you are looking for a highly capable and trustworthy attorney, I strongly recommend Makayla Caliri. You will be in excellent hands.

Attorney Makayla Caliri had a deep understanding of the legal issues of our guardianship case. She kept us informed every step of the way and was able to answer our questions thoroughly. Makayla listened to all our concerns and prioritized our case throughout the process. Thanks to her representation..., we achieved a favorable outcome for what was a difficult case. Makayla was always respectful, composed, and presented our case with the utmost confidence. We certainly highly recommend her as a family attorney.

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.

Highly Recommend

Makayla was introduced to us in the middle of a long 2-1/2 year custody battle for my husbands son. This was just one of those cases where there was so many sides of the story but we knew that his son needed to be with us full time for his safety and DCF was zero help no matter how much we talked to ...them and explained. Makayla came in took over the case broke it all down, and built us an amazing defense case! She was thorough, detailed and on top of everything and when I mean everything she was on top of us doing her job a thousand percent and some. She knew what to file when to file, she knew what to push when to push. When I say she got us through a nightmare she got us through a nightmare with the best outcome possible. Her time and efforts always seemed to amaze us, her personality was always so strong, fierce but bubbly! No matter if we received good news or bad news through the process she always had a positive outcome and re assured us that it’s okay and it’s a process, she was confident of the outcome. Makayla was always confident, not much scared her. Her presence in the court room was strong and loud. Makayla was anything but intimidated, she carried her self with pride, strength, and confidence. I understand being nervous about hiring a firm with not knowing how they practice or the outcome you will receive we went through 2 firms before Makayla. I promise you will not be disappointed in the commitment you will receive and for the price. It was worth every penny spent of their service to our family. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND
