Divorce

Mr. Cali was referred to me by my neighbor whose wife had retained him to represent her in their divorce. I retained Mr. Cali after three other attorneys I had contacted previously advised me that it would be difficult if not impossible to retain my farm in a Divorce. Mr. Cali always listened c...arefully, and through his professionalism, skill and knowledge of the law guided me through my difficult divorce, even when emotionally I was falling apart, Mr. Cali and his team managed to fill me with confidence that I was in the most competent hands and that they would ensure the best possible results. I cannot thank Mr. Cali and his team enough for the outcome that exceeded my expectations, they have successfully given me my life back, along with my farm and my inheritance that is now secure for future generations. I recently met my now ex husband at our granddaughters christening, he politely congratulated me on the divorce and added, “your attorney chewed mine up and spat him out, he always seemed to have my attorneys head spinning” Mr. Cali will forever have my gratitude and respect. Anyone needing council should have Mr. Cali in their corner.

First Class Attorneys

First class Attorneys from day one, they were courteous, attentive and always treated me with respect. I worked With Brian but primarily with Kurt Lynott, from day one Kurt had advised me of exactly how this case would proceed and ultimately end up. 5 months later and I can say he was true to his wo...rd, even though I knew the complexity of my case and at the time felt like there was no end in sight I put all my faith in him and he absolutely came through for me. They are true professionals and are experts at navigating through the legal system, they are kind , punctual and always return calls. Mr Lynott goes as far as sending me text message to make sure i am doing ok. They earned my complete trust and I have all the confidence in the world in their ability and the care for their clients is unparalleled to any other attorney I have known or worked with. I would highly recommend this Law Firm to anyone, one of the best decisions I have made, they guided me through my toughest days and I would never have gotten my life back together if it was not for Kurt & this Law Firm. Thank You

Great Lawyer- Fast and excellent service

Brian and his team were able to quickly get a very difficult closing done on my property. When last minute issues came up (within 24 hours) they were able to get them handled equitably and immediately. You definitely want Brian and his team in your corner. Sincerely, Jonathan Tischler

Posted by anonymous | April 24, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Compassion, Assertive, Creative, Perseverance ,Magical, A True Friend

If your a female/male in a marriage where your partner is dependent on you financially studies have shown that domestic violence against the financial supporter can be so well hidden that the decision to leave is very difficult. Being isolated under coercive control with little or no physical evidenc...e makes trust in interpersonal relationships such a difficult decision that many tend to stay in the relationship for fear of no-one having true faith in what they have been through. As more people in todays society enter these roles of work to support the family at a very high professional salary, an increase in abused by the dependent spouse ( especially in no fault states) are eroding families into a hopeless chaotic mess. The decision to stay or leave the relationship will haunt you for years knowing that you been isolated and have no where to turn. If you have a similar situation I urge you to seek Brian J Cali and his associates. He will be the force that will bring you and your children peace. His ability to draw reasonable conclusions from limited information is one of his most enduring qualities. At the end of the day his expert knowledge, analytical skills, photographic memory of all the legalities helps gauge his decisions in your behalf because he cares about the live's of his clients. Not only does he know the law but he knows what will make his client successful because he understands his client's preferred form of communication. I can honestly say he is always there and accessible. When an important question arises he answers you on ANY given day. I am living proof. He gives honest and practical advice in the context of his client's business. His compassion is is unbelievable and I can actually call him my friend in the short time we have worked together. He gives you more than you pay for. His support staff are top notch and understands that client's of abuse are in need of so much support and they are there time after time to make your foundation solid and to give you the courage to walk into the court room with confidence and grace beside Attorney Cali to allow him to do his job. Attorney Cali will own his client's problem with his staff and they will do everything possible to help the client succeed . Again, I am living proof. I would have never ever expected to be in such a good position with the salary I make in comparison to my ex partner. Attorney Cali is loyal. I have watched him walk into court and have been so proud that he was representing me. As he walks down the hall everyone greets him and shows him respect as he does them. He treats the janitor the same as the Judge. I consider him extremely humble and never ever arrogant. He knows when to step up and he knows the process. He is patient and with victims of financial abuse he knows how to let it all play out to get the results you rightly deserve. So, if you want to make that move and start to live for you and your children this is the attorney you want to put your complete trust in as he recognizes unique styles , interests, and needs of the client's he works with. I really thought there was no hope for my situation making 7 times what my ex partner does and being set up for years for this moment... I knew I was doomed.... until I met Brian J Cali and Associates. And I got the courage to leave , take my children and ended up with full custody paying minimal support. And unbelievable feat. I owe this practice my life. So don't ever think you have no where to turn if you are in a similar situation.... Talk to Attorney Cali ... he will lead you to peace and happiness ..I guarantee it.
