The Real Deal

I had been separated from my wife for over 5 years, 2 of them trying to get her to sign Uncontested divorce papers. I left her the house and everything in it + I leased her a new car and more. One of her clients happened to be a divorce Attorney and decided to take her on Pro bono, now she wanted all... sorts of things never mentioned before, I had only 1 stipulation on the paper work, that she is 100% responsible for any money owed at end of car lease, that's was it but her Attorney insisted that she not be.. I would not agree and she would not sign, we could have signed the paper work that I paid a paralegal firm to prepare, I even went to the courts and paid for the Index #, everything was done, we only needed notarized signatures and we would be divorced, No Attorneys needed but NOPE, almost 3 years later NO divorce. We were at a total standstill for a year and then I was speaking with a customer of mine and I asked what he did for a living? He answered Im an Attorney, immediately I said can I ask for some advice? He said ofcourse...... LONG STORY SHORT- I retained Benjamin Calev as my Attorney to represent me in my divorce, He said Mike all you need is to give me my retainer and I will take care of everything, you just get me any information I ask for and I will have you divorced in *6 months*- *MUSIC TO MY EARS*...( Might I ad his retainer was INCREDIBLY reasonable, and the total cost when all done? Let's just say he loves what he does and he is not all about the money... I could have easily been charged triple or quadruple what he charged me, I actually had another Attorney quote me triple). Today is January 4th 2021, Benjamin text me on December 23, 2020 Congrats your divorced, My favorite Christmas present I could have received which was just about 7 months later, not the 6 months that he said but not his fault, the papers were signed and in the courts 2 months ago waiting for the Judge to sign them. So my last words are if you have a legal issue or a unfortunate situation of any type call Benjamin Calev, he is caring, sincere, honest, hard working and a PIT BULL when needed, you would never know it when you meet him or get to know him but TRUST ME - (PIT BULL).... HE GETS THE JOB DONE....

Divorce attorney

I just retained Calev today, he was my customer and when I found out he was an Lawyer I asked him a few questions about my situation, not even my Attorney yet and his answers put me at ease, he is extremely knowledgeable and most importantly he q was genuinely concerned about problem. The end result ...was he told me whenever I was ready he would be there to help me and his fee was very fair. When I called him he came to me immediately at my work, he took the time to sit with me and go over my paper work, I hired him and he called what will be my Ex wife's attorney that second. He is a Hurricane of positive energy and I know this is going to be a GREAT outcome. Thank you Calev. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Calev to anyone needing an Attorney...

Reliable, trustworthy and caring lawyer

I highly recommend mr. Benjamin Calev. I hired him last year to represent a relative in a criminal matter. From the beginning till the end he has proven to be reliable, trustworthy and caring. He answers questions promptly and is always a phonecall away. He would visit my relative in the hospital, ca...ll to check in and ensure they were being treated well. This was not part of his service but he did it anyway. I recently had to use his services for my divorce and again he has done an excellent job. I recommend him without hesitation.

I highly recommended Ben, he is without a doubt one of the finest lawyers I have ever met. Within 4 months I was di...vorced, no fuss, no muss. meet.
