Amazing

Amazing. I was completely lost with the whole process until Matt walked me through it. He explained everything to me in a way that I could easily understand. He didn't rush me through anything or make me feel unintelligent when I needed extra explanation or guidance. Matt made the process easier and ...took the stress out of it.

professsional and courteous

I started to get certified letters daily from the attorney of my workers comp company. The accident happened 1.5 years ago and I forgot about it. I was so overwhelmed by the mail that I reached out to Calhoon and Assoc and was put in touch with Matt. From the initial interview, he reassured me th...at everything was going to be ok. My anxiety level went from a ten to a zero after the first call. What makes me happy. Someone who respects me and my situation being non judgmental. Respectful of my time and availability. Matt was everything and more. I never felt judged, he kept me informed of my case and when I reached out to him for clarification and spoke in terms I could understand. He got back to me in a timely manner. They handle the whole process for me which made my life so much easier. I recommend the firm and Matt to anyone who needs them and will definitely use them again if necessary.

Matt Kaminsky

I was a truck driver. In January 2015, I was suddenly having neck and back pain while driving from Houston to the northeast. I call my company"s safety dept. and talked about my problem. I was told to call back the next day. When I called back I was put on the speaker phone with the terminal manag...er and right away they were telling me that this was not a job related condition and by the things they were telling me and the question they ask I felt they were more interested in protecting the company from any liability than the pain I was in. As soon as I got off the phone I started to try and find a lawyer. I called two of the ones that advertise on TV trying to get advise on what I should do. They wanted me to prove I had a case before they would talk to me. A friend gave me Matt's phone number. I called, told him my story and ask if he could give me advise about what I should do. he ask me some questions about why I thought it was a workers comp. case. He started giving me advise on what I should do in regards to my company, and my doctors and myself, I was still working away from home in the truck. All this long before he talked to me about becoming his client. And not only did he answer my questions before I hired him but when I called his office when he wasn't available the people in the office helped gave me the help I needed. this was the first time in my life I needed a lawyer (I am 62 years old). I was discourage at first with my first couple of phone call, but after I called Matt I started to have hope, He seem to always be available when I really need him. when I became depress. I.d call him and tell him I was concerned and he would give me a lift, letting me know what was happening and how things were progressing. He told me from the beginning what the process would be, how long each procedure would take. I felt that he believed me and wanted to help me. he got me the help I needed for my injury the money to pay my bills and get me back on my feet. He made me feel like he was my friend and was there when I needed a friend. He was nothing like what I thought a lawyer was and acted. he change my opinion of lawyers. I would highly recommend him and the Calhoon and associates to anyone how needs a workers comp. lawyer.

The Best in the Area!!!

Matthew was by far the best attorney anyone could ask for. He answered my calls every single time. Never was there any complications, concerns or worries. Matthew was upfront, honest, polite,and generally concerned about my well being. The company we sued was arrogant and tried everything to discour...age me, Matthew was right there supporting me when I wanted to give. They are by far the cheapest attorneys by at least 20%. If I were ever injured again I would call him instantly. We even stayed in touch after hour hearing. I almost wish I were injured again just to work with him. Best thing I ever did was call. Please do so, you won't be dissatisfied. By the way I had carpal tunnel and cleared 60,000$ after their share.
