Amazing lawyer for my divorce case!

Cal is a fighter and a highly skilled tactician in the courtroom. I was going through a horrible divorce with my husband at the time and he retained a “high-priced” attorney to challenge me on child custody. I was soo scared and didn’t know what to do, so my co-worker suggested that I....”Better..._Call_Cal.” I scheduled an appointment and because I had somewhat limited funds, I was concerned that I would not be able to afford his services. Especially with zero financial help from family and friends. Cal not only worked with me on a financial payment plan for my case but he was even able to convince my husbands attorney that our initial separation agreement was the only right and just resolution. I was completely satisfied with the results and equally impressed with his litigation skills.

Outstanding Representation

Cal represented me on two separate cases, one involving a divorce and the other involving a second degree assault. This was the hardest and most traumatic time of my life and I needed someone who was trustworthy, smart, and confident. After my first consultation with Cal I immediately hired him for b...oth cases. Over the next few months Cal and his team worked diligently to ensure my case had the best possible outcome. With Cals representation, both cases went completely in my favor and the second degree assault was later expunged from my record. I've referred him to friends, family and even hired him privately for several business cases. He is very professional and well versed in legal matters. I had an awesome experience with his firm and would definitely hire him again.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
