Kerry

I retained Calvin to represent me in a lawsuit filed against me. The lawsuit was dismissed. I was very pleased with the results and will go to him with any future legal concerns.

Entertainment Negotiations

Calvin has handled many contract negations for my agency in regards to entertainment law. Calvin not only assisted me in starting my limited liability company from the ground up, but negotiated several contacts on my behalf. His vast knowledge, quick turn around time, and boldness exceeded all my exp...ectations. His dedication to getting me what I need and making sure I understood everything from start to finish is what I’m most impressed with. The trust I have in him and his ability is something I know I won’t find anywhere else. I look forward to working with Calvin for many years to come.

Excellence

When people say real estate attorneys either make or break the deal- those words are completely true. The house I purchased had numerous speculated issues that were unknown to many people. Kalvin carefully assessed the various situations that we dealt with and never gave up. He made what seemed like ...the impossible, possible again. Thank you Kalvin.

Reliable, Consistent, and Proffesional

I have had a great experience with Calvin. I recommend him for all of your attorney needs. Will work with him in the future.

Posted by Yonas G. | April 02, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Debt Settlement

Reliable and Efficient

Calvin negotiated a favorable settlement for me and my taxicab company. I had a taxicab medallion loan that I could no longer afford to pay. He worked with the bank's attorney to settle the balance for less than 50% of what I owed. He was honest and readily available throughout the negotiation proces...s. I'd hire him again.

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.
