Professional, comforting, confident attorney and team
Raleigh Kalbfleisch and her team have been absolutely amazing. I have never had any experience with court proceedings and didn’t know where to begin with my divorce. Raleigh was very understanding and helped me through every single step of the way. I sincerely could not have done this without her. My...

Professional and patient
Raleigh has been awesome handling my divorce and child support cases. She has taken the time to explain how the law works and what to expect in my case. Even that my case took longer than I expected, she kept working as hard as the first day. I honestly think that any other lawyer would've helped me ...

Professional and Legal Savvy
I spoke to Ms. Raleigh over the telephone and she appeared to be smart, classy and sophisticated. Although, I have not met her in person, yet. Her advice during our conversation convinced me to hire her. She was willing to work with me and her attorney costs to help with my divorce case based on my ...

Lack of Professionalism and Client Abadonment
I spent $13,000, without going to trial for a divorce case, on a lawyer who allowed my case to be dragged out for months, got me screwed on custody and child support, never explained my bill to me, and then just abandoned me suddenly with no explanation or warning.
I am very sorry you are unhappy with the result of your case and if you would like to discuss your concerns, I am willing to talk. I don't know who you are as nobody has raised this complaint to me and you did not provide your name on the review. Unfortunately, everyone's case was horribly delayed due to the COVID pandemic, shutdowns and the effects of those shutdowns on the courts' schedules. I certainly never take any steps to make a case last longer than necessary. As to your comments about custody, the court's first concern is the child or children and if the judge believed the other parent was the appropriate custodial parent then the judge made that decision with the belief that the other parent was the proper custodial parent after you had the opportunity to present your side of the case. Child support is based on a statute and the calculation is a mathematical one based on both parties' income, and both parents have a duty of support and neither parent is able to avoid supporting their child. I can also say I have never abandoned a client. I take every step possible to ensure that a client has every order, every document received and all of the information about their case. I also send bills out on a monthly basis and have answered every question or concern from every client that has called or emailed and if you did contact me with questions about your bill I would have answered them. If I withdrew from your case, you would have had advance notice as required by our code of civil procedure and before that, I would have made every effort to resolve any differences between us. Again, if you wish to discuss your concerns, I am always willing to talk.
"I highly endorse Raleigh. She vigorously advocates for her clients, is knowledgeable about the law, and practices with the utmost of professionalism, which is reflected by her reputation in the courtroom and in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Excellent attorney. Very courteous and respectful, but a tough and effective advocate for her clients."
