Could not have asked for better.

Mr. Calhoun is very patient and thorough when explaining legal matters regardless of their complexity and ensured I understood what was happening with my case. He and his staff did a wonderful job of keeping me informed every step of the way. Mr. Calhoun was able to reach a fair settlement without go...ing to court. This had been my wish and instruction when I hired him. I can say without reservation he is a wonderful attorney and a compassionate human being. I am deeply grateful for his help in settling my case. It is my hope I am never in a position to have to hire an attorney again; but if I am, I will certainly contact Colin Calhoun.

He is the best!

Mr. Calhoun did a deep and thorough investigation into my case. He was able to successfully present the facts of my case and legal theories at trial, and the verdict was rendered in my favor! He is an excellent lawyer who is very conscientious about his work and leaves no stone unturned in the purs...uit of justice. In my case, this was no different in spite of my limited financial resources. You can see that he works with a love of God in his mind, and I am sure God will bless him for all of his excellent work. If I know of anyone who needs a lawyer, I will always recommend Mr. Calhoun!

Honest, respectful, dedicated practice.

In 2015, Mr. Calhoun came into my clinic where I worked as a nurse. 2 days prior I had been in a motor vehicle accident where I did not have insurance. I found myself without a vehicle. My clinic was over an hour away and I was also a mother of two small children and a baby. One of the nurses I worke...d with immediately came to me and said there is a lawyer in that room. I have told him about your accident, go in there and talk to him. I hesitated due to not having any money or means to compensate him for his work. I took a deep breath and went into the room. I introduced myself and began telling him every detail in which I remembered. I then stopped myself and apologized for I knew that there is a introductory fee in which during the first meeting the lawyer will typically listen and give you their interpretation of what they think they can do for you and charge you a decent fee for taking up their time. He looked at me and said no it is ok, please I have all the time you need. Let me hear your story. I then spent 45 minutes in that room with him laughing, crying, expressing my fears, and reiterating many times that I did not have any means to pay him for anything up front. His compassion was impressive, his empathy was incredible. I was hesitant to believe that a lawyer could posses these two qualities. From that very moment he gave me his card and told me to fax him the accident report that day and he would begin working on my case. His deligent work was very impressive as the insurance company in which he encountered was not cooperative. Month after month he would call, send an email, or text to update me on his progress with this case. In every greeting he continued to empathize and support my every question/idea. As we reached a year together, we also found a light at the end of this lengthy tunnel. He was able to get my family and I compensation for my property, medical bills, ambulance bills, even loans that had to be taken out to pay to get my car out of impoundment. Mr.Calhoun is not a lawyer of typical status. His compassion for others, dedication to his practice, and heart are ones to be desired. I have had the opportunity to work with 3 different lawyers in my lifetime and this man believes in justice, but he also believes in honesty. You do not find that in many who practice law. He was the first and only I have found. I am honored to share this with all and any whom chose to read this. This man is more than a lawyer. He is a blessing in disguise.

Job well done

I dealt with Mr. Calhoun on a case that a lot of attorneys didn't want to touch. Mr. Calhoun took the case was very professional, he took his time with me explaining step by step what he was doing I never was in the dark about nothing. I appreciate the job Mr. Calhoun did for me. Thank you for being ...professional and getting the job done. Well done!

final divorce contract

I had a conflict with my ex wife 2yrs after my divorce. Mr Calhoun helped me to resolve it, even though he wasn't my divorce attorney. He also made sure that it won't be challenged in the future. He is very caring and personable, one of the greatest qualities that's hard to find amongst many attorney...s.
