"As an Assistant State Attorney in the Eighth Judicial Circuit I practiced against Juan in misdemeanor and felony court for over a decade. Juan was one of the defense attorneys who I was always willing to negotiate with as a prosecutor because I knew he would come to court extremely prepared for anything I could throw at him. Even though Juan was a tough defense attorney to have to work against I actually enjoyed working with him on cases because he is extremely trustworthy and a very skilled and prepared negotiator. I now work as a criminal defense attorney in the Eighth Judicial Circuit and Juan has continued to be a great friend, colleague, and mentor to me. I endorse and highly recommend Juan for any of your legal needs."
"I have known Juan Calama for more than a decade and endorse him without hesitation. His knowledge of all aspects of criminal defense, compassion and extra-ordinary people skills have gained him a reputation in the legal community as a fierce and very talented advocate for his clients."
"Juan is good people. He takes his responsibilities to his clients to heart, and he will tell you the truth, even when it is not easy. He's a good man to have by your side if you're facing a serious challenge."
"Mr. Calama is an excellent attorney who handles every case and client with a great deal of compassion. He is excellent in the courtroom, and at the negotiating table. I highly endorse him."
"When I was a DUI prosecutor in Gainesville, FL, I often had cases in which Mr. Calama was opposing counsel. He is indeed an aggressive and hard-working advocate for each and every one of his clients. I was always impressed by him. He is always one of the smartest and best prepared attorneys in the court room and knows the criminal justice system better than most. He is genuine in his effort to help people and he is a trustworthy attorney. I highly recommend him."

"Juan is a skilled attorney, and I would endorse him for both criminal, and family law. I consider him a friend in addition to being a colleague, and often call him for advice."
"Knowing Mr. Calama for nearly fifteen years, I can endorse him as an attorney who truly dedicates himself to his clients and their causes."
