Alexis Ann Calleja's Lawyer Endorsements
"I worked with Alexis at my first law firm out of law school. At that time, I looked up to her as a highly sought-after senior associate. I quickly learned that the demand for Alexis's work was due to her brilliant legal mind and highly-effective advocacy for her clients. I endorse Alexis and recommend her for any personal injury or any other litigation matters."
"Ms. Calleja is a trusted colleague. She is highly skilled an knowledgable in the areas of insurance, personal injury, discrimination, and employment law. Her clients are in good hands. I endorse this lawyer without reservation."
"Alexis is a great lawyer and even better person."
"I endorse this lawyer. Very intelligent lawyer."
"I had the pleasure of handling a personal injury claim where Alexis Calleja was my opposing counsel. Ms. Calleja was thorough, knowledgeable and effective in defending her client. She zealously advocated every possible defense for her client while remaining professional throughout the claim. If I had to choose an attorney to defend me or my business in a personal injury claim, I would not hesitate to select Ms. Calleja and her firm, Hudson & Calleja."
"I endorse this lawyer. I had the benefit of having previously worked with Ms. Calleja at a firm and can attest to her hard work and dedication to her clients."
"Ms. Calleja is a highly competent, courteous, and professional attorney (despite our disagreement over a certain insurance carrier's policy interpretation). Far too often, attorneys engage in acrimonious behavior and needless sniping at one another. Ms. Calleja conducts herself in a manner to which all attorneys should aspire as officers of the court, and even her emails show her to be a highly knowledgeable legal practitioner whom any client can retain with full confidence in getting superb representation."
"Ms. Calleja represents her client's interests by combining her extensive knowledge of employment and labor law with compassion and understanding. I endorse her without hesitation."
