Time-Sharing Battle with Ex-Wife

Let me begin by saying, Attorney Christopher Calhoun, Esq…is hands down the BEST attorney you want to go to battle with. I’ve dealt with attorneys before but not like this one. I hired Attorney Calhoun in January 2022 to get a court-ordered timesharing enforced. His legal fees were comparable across ...the board. Immediately, Attorney Calhoun went to work and didn’t waste any time. He was every knowledgeable of the law and explained it to me at a level that I could understand and not at the Harvard Law School level. He was very honest and upfront about my case which gave me the confidence that he will not go down without a fight….and he didn’t!! Attorney Calhoun was the absolute professional in all aspects. Always attentive to my questions, concerns and returned my calls promptly. Even when I wasn’t expecting a call, he was there to provide me updates on my case good or bad. He was so sharp that he knew what the opposing defendant was preparing to do before it happened. We went over all documents before filing to ensure that we were on the same page because he wanted to make it clear that he worked for me. Attorney Calhoun ensured that I was comfortable and went beyond the call of duty to make I was prepared for the hearing. My case was completed in April 2022 and now I am so elated to have my son on a consistent basis. Thank God for individuals like Attorney Calhoun because he changed my life for the better. He has a great sense of humor, and I sincerely couldn’t have chosen a better lawyer to represent me!! Lastly, I would HIGHLY recommend Attorney Calhoun to anyone because he will fight for you and your legal rights. In the event that would need legal representation in the future, he would be the first person I call!!

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.
