He was there for me....

Because of his stellar reputation in the community, I had Attorney Cali on retainer for years before I had the courage to proceed with my inevitable divorce. I met with him many times prior to the filing and I felt that he always listened to what I had to say. He was like talking to a trusted frien...d. He was clear thinking and always kept me informed and somehow reassured. Not only was he there for me, but my daughter as well. He had a genuine interest in our well being. He is so incredibly knowledgeable that I took comfort that my best interests were being protected. I cannot say enough about his professionalism and empathy. In my humble opinion, I doubt anyone could have done the job like Brian did it. Also, I could not thank his wonderful staff enough for all their support at what was and continues to be a challenging aspect of my life.

Outstanding

After initially dealing with another attorney for my divorce (not connected to Mr. Cali's office), I was very frustrated and had little faith in lawyers. So when I scheduled a meeting with Mr. Cali, I was not optimistic. I can honestly say that after my first meeting with Brian, I left his office wit...h great optimism. From that first visit and throughout my case, I felt like he was on my side. During the most difficult time in my life he showed professionalism, empathy and compassion, yet demonstrated the knowledge and fight to win attitude I needed. When dealing directly with Brian, I was kept well informed with quick, personal return of communication. Brian listened to me, advised me and did not "speak down" to me. Brian not only lived up to his stellar reputation, but exceeded all my expectations. I hope to never need another attorney, but if I do, I will go directly to Brian. I recommend him to everyone. I would imagine that the only people who do not like Mr. Cali are the ones who are the "other party" and hired a different attorney.

satisfaction guaranteed

When I first decided to leave my now ex-husband several years ago, it was hard to imagine myself happily divorced, mainly because of my lawyers. They always seemed to be making up excuses for their inadequate representation and they rarely kept me well informed, yet the bills never failed to reach me... in the mail. Thankfully, when I was on the verge of losing my mind, a friend recommended that I try Brian Cali, and I can undoubtedly say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Brian did for me what the other lawyers failed to do - helped me to get on with my life away from my ex-husband. Not only was he successful with all of the legal proceedings, but I knew he had my best interests at heart. Even when I wasn't working with Brian, his associates and paralegals still gave me the same quality and personalized attention he did. I'm writing this review so others like me can use the right lawyer to get on with their lives. I couldn't recommend Brian and his office enough, and that's coming from someone who's been around the block a few times.

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.
