EXCEPTIONAL, KIND AND COMPASSIONATE ATTORNEY

Four years ago, I was in a horrific automobile accident which left me permanently damaged with a head injury. My niece recommended Mr. Caliendo to me. When I first met him, my family members had to be with me and represent me due to my injuries and he was so kind to them. Mr. Caliendo was always t...here for me whether I needed advice or just reassurance. His amazing staff always had the time and patience for me especially since my cognitive issues caused me to have speech problems. My case was long and complicated but Mr. Caliendo always knew what to say to comfort and encourage me. At the end Mr. Caliendo was able to get me a sizable settlement that will last me my lifetime. I am so grateful to him and will highly recommend him.

Professionalism. Integrity, Compassion

Our family retained Mr. Caliendo in a PI case on behalf of our special needs son. Working with difficult circumstances due to my son's limited ability to grasp abstract concepts, Mr. Caliendo overcame all obstacles to reach a favorable settlement. After 4 1/2 years of diligence and communication we... found Mr. Caliendo to have the three most important characteristics in not only an attorney but in a person - namely professionalism, integrity and compassion. Mr. Caliendo treated my son with respect and compassion and became his friend which allayed his anxiety during this most difficult time for my son and our family. I would highly recommend Mr. Caliendo for all who have been wronged and seek not only compensation but justice and equity. John D

An Honest Attorney! That's hard to come by

I was impressed by Paul's professionalism and Honesty, not many attorneys like him. Talking to him was like talking to one of my friends he made me feel so comfortable ..... I was in Law enforcement when I had gotten hurt and friends urged me to use Paul C. (Who is with the firm Gil & Chamas). Whe...n I first met him his cluttered office with his family pictures on his walls, he didn't seem like your typical ambulance chasing Attorney. His concern for my welfare and asking me how my family was doing seemed sincere and heartening. Paul explained in Detail what was going to happen leading up to a the final steps and that it wasn't going to be an overnight situation. Me being in law enforcement never experienced anything like this and was worried about what steps to take. I knew I was in for a long haul but Paul's confidence and experience made me feel at ease. I learned so much from Paul listening to him telling me what most people don't know or are afraid to do when it comes to their employer. I would STRONGLY recommend and have referred him to others like me who have a right to know... I wouldn't use anyone else. Thanks Sir

Disgusted with his work standards.

I do not know how to start but Mr. Caliendo has did pretty much nothing to help me with my case. It's been almost 2 years for him to come and say he will not get me no money settlement because all of a sudden the insurance company claims by his words that won't pay. This is garbage and unprofessiona...l at the most. I have completed all my therapy and even injections to my lower back. Now I'm far more worst than when I was before with my back. I will never recommend this lawyer since he only favors the clients that are best suitable with his likings. He should not be practicing law to help since he obviously cannot even help the minority people. Also, he has no respect for his clients.
