Pure Excellence

Brian and his team, are nothing short of excellent! He has been my attorney for the past 11years, and has guided me through my separation, domestics, divorce, and never swayed from doing the right thing in every situation, keeping my children and I first. He's available at anytime for questions and ...guidance in any situation. I'm so impressed and confident with every appearance we've had in court, that I have highly recommended him to friends and associates, with again, rave reviews and positive outcomes!! Thank you, Thank you!!!

The Best Legal TEAM

I was married 23 years and when the prospect of having to hire a divorce attorney came up I was more concerned with who my soon to be Ex would hire than who I actually was planning on using for myself. So as a business owner, I had a few contacts within the legal community and started asking around.... The first three lawyers I spoke with all said the exact same thing.. There are alot of good attorneys in town but whatever you do, "Hope your wife doesnt hire Brian Cali". So, why fight it? That very afternoon I drove to Brians office, sat down with him for more than an hour, told him my story and cried behind closed doors. That day I gave Brians office the retainer and from there on out they took care of EVERYTHING. Brian is a fantastic lawyer and I could say a million positive things about the way he handles himself and I would still come up short. Its the combination... Brian has some of the best staff around. Caring, empathetic, understanding, willing to listen to anything and almost immediately you feel this sense of trust within his office. Lets face it.. Dealing with families, kids, separation.. its extremely sensitive stuff! Brian and his team know exactly when to be HARD and exactly when a situation calls for a little more finesse and technique. When it came to dealing with the opposition, he was undoubtably the more professional of the two attorneys and pretty much ran the show, his way. In addition to all that.. Brian is not one of those lawyers who documents every single minute he give you attention looking for billable hours. Id like to think that I know him fairly well by this point and I can tell you that despite the fact that he is running a business, he is not in this for the money. Brian really cares about his clients. I know in my heart had I hired any other legal team in town, I would have not only struggled thru this divorce much much more but would probably still be in the middle of it. Thank you Brian, Thank you for all you have done!

Strong representation

I am a 57 year old male who lives out of state and needed a lawyer for a custody battle with my ex. It was pretty clear from the beginning that Brian Cali's firm had a familiarity with the court system in Wyoming county and was well respected there. I am very satisfied with the outcome and credit B...rian and his team with getting the job done.

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.

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.
