Craig Geidel Kallen III

I mistakingly hired Craig to represent me in my marriage dissolution. His whole 'I wrote a book about keeping lawyer fees down' is a joke. There was very little movement with my case for 4 months but he kept collecting money from me. Very seldom would I get a direct answer from him. His explanation f...or what to expect next or what my next step should be was never clear. He kept using the phrase 'shoot for the moon' even though I was telling him I didn't want to draw this out or soak my soon-to-be ex for all he has but he wouldnt listen to that. He knew exactly how unhappy I was with his lack of follow through. If separating from your spouse and filing for divorce isn't chaotic enough, having a lawyer like him made things 10x worse for me. I would never recommend him to anyone. Please do yourself a favor, shop around, take advantage of the free consultations that most lawyers offer and stay away from Craig Kallen. I spent 45 minutes with my new lawyer and accomplished more that I did with Craig in 4 months.

Sometimes we wondered if he was working for us or the opposing side. This lawyer made false promises and under delivered. If you want a lawyer that doesn't listen to anything you say, and then threatens you at the end to settle out of court because the judge will issue a significant fine for misrep...resentation, then Mr. Kallen is the lawyer for you. My thoughts are that you fabricated a lie to mask your incompetence Mr. Kallen.

Craig has represented me four (could be five) times now. Each outcome was very successful. I don't have the words to describe to you what a different life I'd have if it weren't for Craig's legal skills. To me, one of his greatest assets is that he never wants to "go after" the opposition, in that,... the case he prepares is not vicious toward the other party. Believe me, that's a terrible, and very expensive, approach. You may think you really want a "bulldog" for an attorney, but that mentality proved devastating, to those, and there were several, that came up against Craig in my battles. They were presenting intimidation; Craig was presenting fact. Craig knows the law, and he knows how to win.

Craig has been my advocate during my never ending divorce! He has gotten me through the actual divorce but my ex keeps causing us to go back to court. As a result, I have been working with Craig for 2 1/2 years. I trust Craig to fight for my well being, unfortunately the courts are delayed and t...he judges are overwhelmed. He spends time preparing me for court and depositions; providing words of encouragement to keep me upbeat and fighting for my cause. Craig is currently fighting an appeal for me that will "save" me around $70k. It is only because of him that I am fighting as after all this time it is easy to just give up and quit the battle. When I meet with Craig he is completely dedicated to me and focuses on the issues at hand. The one area in which he needs to improve in is keeping me better informed of next steps, length of time something will take and what documents mean . He is aware of this and is committed to improving his internal processes. Craig is also very aware and concerned about my personal safety in court, never leaving me alone with my ex. I can never thank him enough for making me feel safe in a difficult situation. He is definitely one of the GOOD guys!
