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.

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 ...

Didn't help
Didn't present all evidence or call all witnesses. Didn't help me get back child support. Didn't show up to the ruling the three times it was rescheduled so I got it in an e-mail.
Raleigh Kalbfleisch
Replied last October 28, 2015I am sorry that you were dissatisfied with the outcome of your case. Many of the decisions an attorney must make center around trial strategy and whether to call a particular witness. Often a party wishes to have a particular individual testify but allowing that testimony may actually do far more harm than good. I know litigation is immensely stressful for both parties and I am aware of how difficult your situation was at the time of the trial. I strive to provide my client’s with the best legal advice and I am very disheartened to learn that you were dissatisfied with my representation or the outcome of your case. I would be happy to discuss your concerns in person anytime you are willing to do so.
