One of the Best!

Art Kallow worked on a case for me and I can truly say he is one of the best lawyers I have seen. He fought hard in court and I was thrilled with the outcome of the case. There are some lawyers that just seem to have a gift for creating strategy and asking the right questions. Mr. Kallow is one of th...ese lawyers. He is an "old school" hard nosed litigator that does not rest until his clients win. Trust me these attorneys are hard to come by! I've also recommended Mr. Kallow to friends and family and will continue to do so.

Thanks Art Kallow!

I hired Art Kallow at the Law Offices of Jeffery Leving two years ago after my previous attorney botched my case. It was apparant from the onset that attorney Kallow knew what he was doing. He was confident, kind, and prepared. He told me stories of other cases similar to mine that he had successf...ully tried over the years. Within a short period of time my case was back on track and Mr. Kallow was able to get me custody of my son. I could not thank him enough. I don't usually write reviews but with Mr Kallow I saw this as a small opportunity to thank him for a job well done. Thanks Art Kallow!

"Art Kallow has successfully represented and safeguarded hundreds of clients in complex trials with intricate financial issues for decades. I greatly admire his incredible legal skills and it is clear why he was selected by his peers in the legal community as a "Super Lawyer." He has mentored numerous lawyers and transformed them into ferocious litigators protecting the rights of children. I'll never forget flying out to Los Angeles with him where we represented a father in a LA County Court and reunited him with his 8 year old son. The child had been removed from his mother's custody after allegations of abuse. Mr. Kallow received a significant and prestigious award from his valuable contribution to the Domestic Relations Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County as a Court Facilitator. It is an honor to work side-by-side with Art Kallow."
