Professional, Lawyer Helps With Custody Battle

To Begin with saying he gave a great amount of professionalism. He spoke with confidence and determination to help me with my case. After everything was done I had 50/50 custody and ended up paying $200 a month for two boys. In the beginning we almost had 60/40 custody her way and paying $700 a mont...h but with his help and patience it was reduced. I’m a firefighter with a rigorous schedule, and he even made it possible for me to keep great time with my kids. I have had the best experience with this lawyer, he’s the best in the business. Also when ever I had an emergency pertaining to the case he would help in an exuberant manner.

Mr.

I hired Mr.Chris Calhoun to resolve a child support matter that has been lingering for several years. He was diligent and knowledgeable about the details of my situation. In a competitive market Mr.Calhoun's fees were reasonable. As he has done before in the past, we were able to resolve my case whic...h fell in my favor. I have retained Mr.Calhoun several times over the past decade. He is a straightforward professional, who I will ALWAYS highly recommend.

Parenting Plan and Time-Sharing Schedule

Mr. Christopher Calhoun, Esq…BEST ATTORNEY EVER! After retiring from the active-duty military, it was time to secure proper visitation with my 10-year-old son. I filed my petition through a paralegal and spoke with my son’s mother about mediation and structure time sharing. I was met with a mountai...n of legal paperwork, numerous disclosure requests, a Temporary Needs Hearing (typically reserved for divorcing couples), vocational assessments, and several public attacks regarding my service and service-connected disabilities. My paralegal referred me to Mr. Calhoun. After the first consultation, I knew I was in good hands. Mr. Calhoun told me what he needed from me and took care of the rest. He was always available to discuss the case and always kept me focused on the facts, especially when I found myself deep in the rabbit hole. The case lasted three years, and Mr. Calhoun approached every court date, every motion, and every disparaging remark received with ethical dignity and vigilance. Mr. Calhoun got me consistent time-sharing with my son and had my voluntary child support lowered to a reasonable court-ordered amount. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Calhoun for your legal needs.

Bitter EX- Wife!

I hired Mr. Calhoun to assist with an issue that potentially jeopardized my business and livelihood. In short, the ex-wife of a person that I was dating was attempting to increase the amount of child support she received by going after my personal business account. ( Yes… she and her attorney was try...ing to treat this matter as if I was the New Wife, when I was just the Girlfriend!). You would have thought her attorney would have told her differently, instead he totally mislead her! However I was concerned that I would lose everything that I had built over the years due to a matter in which had nothing to do with me. Not only did Mr. Calhoun defend me against an unjust and unwarranted attack from the ex-wife’s attorney; he also prevented said attorney from intimidating my accountant in which he tried to force her to reveal my business’ payroll and shareholder's information. His ability to listen to my concerns, and his empathetic demeanor offered the emotional support I needed during this crisis. In addition, his rates were reasonable; not over-inflated like many of the other attorneys in the area. Mr. Calhoun fought for me like no other. He was ALWAYS available whenever I had a question. So, if you’re looking for an advocate who will fight for you tooth and nail, then Mr. Calhoun is the attorney for you. I would definitely hire him again.

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.
