Child Custody, Child Support, and Time Sharing NIGHTMARE

Mr. Calhoun is a very assertive, knowledgeable, and caring attorney. I found that in my case which was a pure nightmare scenario he was the absolute best fit for representation in my two year long dilemma. Mr. Calhoun understood the importance and fought vigorously to ensure my rights to my son were ...established, that I received my timesharing time with my son, and that all other issues according were also met and set into place. Mr. Calhoun will listen and empathize with your situation. I found that even though I understand that this was a professional relationship and in terms considered business. However, with that being said throughout the entire process I felt like more of a family member. I expressed a multitude of concerns and had goals in mind to maximize my teaching experience to my son which is my ultimate and only responsibility in life. I was in a place where I could not see my child, but was meeting and exceeding my fatherly duties and responsibilities. Also my military history and service and retirement for injuries sustained in combat were also being dangled over my head. Unfairly and falsely accusing me of being a danger to my child and being too incompetent to father my child because of my injuries. All in all I had absolutely nothing to loose I had no rights, visitation, I was paying child support times 2, there were a multitude of lies and non factual representations of occurrences that never happened, I was receiving absolutely no communication with my son, and there was an unlawful move out of state. While the case was going on Mr. Calhoun told me plenty of times when I was reaching and when I was within reason. I say this meaning that I promise that you can trust this man to represent you. Your intentions will be met to the very best of his ability. There are plenty of times that Mr. Calhoun told me exactly what I didn't want to hear, but saying that it was exactly what I needed to hear and the truth. He is a very strategic and multi angled approached to every situation. I have to say this you will not regret hiring Mr. Calhoun I definitely don't. Personally I feel like this I couldn't have found a better representation from anyone else out there and I did do my research. If I were to pick another attorney for a future event with hopes that there never will be another. Mr. Christopher Calhoun should definitely be the example.

If you need your child support ceased and obtain time sharing

I would highly recommend Attorney Calhoun for all of your family law matters. I was initially ordered to pay $200.00 a month in child support and I was ordered to pay child support arrearages by the Dept. of Revenue based off of bogus information the Dept of Revenue received by my daughter's mother.... I was not receiving time-sharing/visitation with my 3-month old daughter. I hired Attorney Calhoun and he provided quick results in the courtroom. He was able to get my child support payments and arrearages wiped away and now my daughter's mother is ordered to pay me child support monthly. Mr. Calhoun was also to able to negotiate visitation/time-sharing permanently for me to be able to see my daughter regularly. Mr. Calhoun was very professional, and caring about my needs and he took the time to explain the process so that I knew what was going on at all times with my case. I never had to hunt him down, he was always just a phone call away. I would recommend Mr. Calhoun to anyone.

Simple to worse case scenario

This was supposed to be a simple child support modification case however; the mother was Satan himself and I ended up being accused of alleged rape. Mr Calhoun stated to me at the beginning, once he takes on a case he's committed and dedicated. And boy was he right. It went from child support modific...ation to evicting her and ultimately Mr Calhoun defending me for allege rape. If I would have hire any other lawyer I believe the cost would have been well north of $10,000. And Mr Calhoun barely charge half of that, thank God! I'm very thankful and appreciative of Mr Calhoun. He made me feel like he was a close relative, like a brother, he cared. I wasn't a dollar sign to him. Seven years ago I hire a different lawyer for something similar, but not alleged rape. I told you she was evil. The lawyer charged for everything. From emails, texting, phone calls, meetings to office supplies, it was crazy. I highly recommend Mr Calhoun to anyone needing a good, fair and dedicated lawyer. Oh, by the way we won our case.
