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...ough in a timely manner to resolve everything in 3 months! Divorces are costly, period so you might as well go with a true professional who has the experience, knowledge and savvy to work towards a resolve while keeping your needs paramount.

Divorce/custody representation

My wife used this firm in her divorce and they fought to get her everything she was entitled to get. She was represented by Harvey Kallus . Harvey was professional, polite and always prepared for court. My wife and I retained Harvey Kallus again in a fight over schooling for her son again, Harvey... was well prepared and did everything in his power to win the case for us His paralegal, Brenda kept us constantly informed and up to date on all pertinent information. If you want someone to represent you with confidence, professionalism and support make sure to use Harvey Kallus from the law office of Barbara Strauss.

Attorney Harvey Kallus review

Mr Kallus handled my divorce case in a calm and collected manner. Advised me on my net worth statement, spousal support,and maintenance agreement. As there was not any outstanding balances excluding the home which I was required to sell, all monetary items were handled in a clear and concise manner. ...The separation agreement between the two clients and their attorneys was taken care of with a court appointed official present. The outcome was very favorable for me and handled quickly with little drama or disagreement. At no time did Mr Kallus let any questions remain unanswered and all remaining items were taken care of in a prompt and caring way. I every manner I was taken care of in a very professional and understanding way. I'm satisfied in all aspects in the handling of this case and would be glad to recommend Mr Kallus to any and all persons needing an attorney.
