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...e, and after 13 years of being the non custodial parent, I was awarded primary custody of my daughter. Harvey helped me bring forth the facts and the truth. From the very beginning, Harvey was committed to my case, and I have always felt that he went above and beyond. I really feel that Harvey is emotionally invested in his clients, and I feel it makes it a big difference when working through tough court issues. It has been comforting to feel like my family had someone in our corner to help us navigate the legal system and court process. I have always felt like Harvey has has my best interests at heart, as I imagine he does with all of his clients. I do not believe I would have had the results I had without Harvey, his expertise, experience and support.
