CUSTODY and DIVORCE

Attorney Cali was very helpful through my divorce and custody matters. He provided great representation through a difficult time. I would highly recommend this lawyer.

Forever Grateful

I am a Mother of two beautiful, smart, talented,and incredibly well adjusted children. I am also someone who has suffered from addiction in the past. As a result I found myself in a contentious custody battle. I felt hopeless. Anyone who knows me knows that my children are paramount. I contacted Bri...an Cali and without any judgment, he immediately and graciously took my case. Brian placed myself and my case in the brilliant hands of his associate Kurt Lynon because of his extensive background and knowledge of Recovery. The process can be long and seem defeating but anytime I had a concern Kurt and Brian were always reassuring and incredibly supportive so I had the hope to keep going. The staff responded to all of my calls and continued to treat me with dignity. I have been sobers for years now and I even have more custody than I did before! We will never be able to thank Brian, Kurt, and his staff enough. I absolutely recommend this firm over and over again.

Exceptional law firm

I just wanted to post a review about my experience with the Brian Cali law firm. I hired this firm in June after being separated from my ex. And hired them to get custody of my 6 year old daughter and other legal issues...I must say I would strongly recommend this firm to anyone ..Their attention to ...detail... Their promptness with an array of questions I had over the last six months... They always get back to me in a time like manner... They show up to court early... And always put you at ease with the difficult nature of a separation and custody..I've delt with Kurt who is an amazing attorney.. Other attorneys who are also exceptional... Down to the receptionists at their office who are also extremely professional... I run my own business.. So I know how hard it is to find a company that can provide excellent service... But I definitely would recommend them ....They know the law inside and out...I'm extremely satisfied with the level of service they have given me..And as a result I get to see my little girl on the holidays!!! Outstanding law firm and staff...

EXCELLENT DIVORCE AND CUSTODY ATTORNEY

I am a past and current client of Attorney Brian Cali and I often check his reviews on Avvo. I felt the need to respond to the last review that was posted. The person's comments are far from the truth. Attorney Cali has done a tremendous job for me through my Divorce and Custody actions. My c...hildren are thriving and I am able to move forward with my life thanks to Attorney Cali. In reading the last review, it appears that I may have run into that person at Attorney Cali's while waiting for an appointment. If it is who I think, the person did nothing but whine continuously. In talking with this person, he applauded Attorney Cali for being a top notch attorney. This person also commended Attorney Cali's staff indicating that they were always responsive. The way that I feel is that, in life, some people are not happy and, as a result, they need to make everyone else's life miserable. I feel that is the character of the person who posted the last review. In closing, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND ATTORNEY BRIAN CALI. He has been practicing law forthe past 30 years or so and he is highly ethical, knows the law and is very responsive.

HIGHLY EFFICIENT AND TRUSTWORTHY ATTORNEY

I HIRED ATTORNEY CALI APPROXIMATLEY 24 MONTHS AGO TO REPRESENT ME IN A VERY STRESSFUL CUSTODY BATTLE WITH MY X-HUSBAND. ATTORNEY CALI GUIDED ME AND REPRESENTED ME IN A MANNER FAR BEYOND ANY OTHER ATTORNEY COULD HAVE DONE. I ACTUALLY WON MY CASE AND I HAVE HIM TO THANK FOR ALWAYS LOOKING AT THE B...EST INTEREST AND WELFARE OF MY MINOR CHILDREN. MY CHILDREN ART THRIVING DUE ATTORNEY CALI'S SUPURB REPRESENTATION.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
