Child Custody

I couldn't have made a better decision by having Engel Law represent me in the custody battle for my daughter. It didn't take long to realize that Kalene is an attorney with true empathy and a high level of integrity. She was always focused on my daughter's need to be with her dad and not on the bi...llable hours. I did notice that she saved me money because she really knows the law and is extremely well organized. She could pull up documents in seconds. I have recommended Engel law to anyone who asked my option.

Conscientious & Caring

Divorce comes with a multitude of questions and emotions. Kalene's knowledge and experience helped answer my questions and concerns. Her genuine compassion was evident from our first conversation. She made a difficult life changing event easier. Highly recommend.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
