The best choice in the worst scenario.
I put this off for a long time because it was hard to have to revisit the unpleasantness of a divorce/custody case, especially one as ugly and involved as mine was. I found Harvey through a family friend and met with him for a consultation before filing for custody of my children and divorce of my w...

Exceptional attorney
I would like to give a glowing recommendation for Harvey Kallus. I retained Harvey for a family court petition to modify a custody order. I knew going into the situation, my chances could be slim. However, with Harvey's knowledge of law, experience, and eloquence in delivering the facts, I won my cas...
Thank you Melissa! It was my pleasure to be of service to you and your family.

Professional, Efficient and Conscientous
I was pleasantly surprised that Harvey was not like most attorneys who seek to take your money and drag out proceedings. He was my second attorney for a 3 year ongoing case that was grossly mishandled by another attorney. He listened, treated my case as a priority, and he and his staff followed thr...

$250.00 for a half hour consultation.... He listened, then flip flopped his advise all over the place. Wouldn't recommend him to anyone....
I am sorry you did not find our consultation to be helpful. After listening to your current difficult situation, I proposed you consider two courses of action: -one by filing in court, and -one by trying to contact the children's parents out of court. I suggested you file with the court immediately (with or without an attorney), and also try the out of court resolution attempt simultaneously. If that worked, you could withdraw the court case and the other side would never know you filed. If it did not, then you would be closer to a court resolution. I explained what the Court's focus would be, and the probable outcomes, and then discussed the pros and cons of both options. I did not perceive in any way that you were dissatisfied with our meeting, especially when you thanked me for meeting with you prior to payment. When you scheduled the consultation you were advised that I charge a reduced hourly rate of $250 for an hour consultation. My notes reflect we met for approximately 50 minutes. On a half hour meeting I would usually charge less. If I am incorrect about the time we spent together, I would like to make it right with you, and ask that you return my call from this morning, so we can try and address your dissatisfaction.
