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.

Dissolution of Marriage

I couldn’t have hired a better Lawyer for my dissolution of marriage. Attorney Calhoun was always readily available for me to reach him. I didn’t have to call him for updates as he kept me informed throughout the entire process that took a little over a year. He gave me his honest opinions from a mal...e perspective & there were several conversations where he’d just let me vent. He truly cares about the best interest of his clients & he did not let me walk away from my Marriage defeated. I am grateful to have had him represent me. I have nothing but great things to say about Attorney Calhoun & most importantly, his prices are fair.

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.

Family Law/ Child Support

At The Law Office of Christopher C. Calhoun I found the legal representation I was looking for. I was represented better than I could ever imagine. From the initial consultation on, Mr. Calhoun really set himself apart. I was owed child support for over $30k when I decided it might be time to seek ...different representation. There is no shortage of Family Law Attorneys, but finding the best fit for your particular situation can be a challenge. My particular situation involved a significant amount of arrears owed. My previous attorney failed to do some things that almost set my case backwards. The Law Office of Christopher C. Calhoun listened to what was important to me and went about accomplishing that as efficiently as possible. My needs were put first and I was always treated first class rather than like a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Mr. Calhoun was available on a daily basis and responded directly to my questions promptly and professionally. That gave me a lot of confidence that I could rely on him. He showed his best at all times. He has a natural ability to explain difficult legal concepts in a simple way that a layman can understand. His interest is his client’s interest. Honesty. Integrity. Transparency. Partnership. With The Law Office of Christopher C. Calhoun I got this and more. My experience with The Law Office of Christopher C. Calhoun was excellent, and he will always be my first choice for a client referral.
