Great attorney for international Divorce cases and custody

Craig did an awesome job on my case. He was very detailed and very experienced. I had a case where my ex ran away with my child and I couldn’t serve her overseas then I reached out to Kellen law firm and Craig was amazing. He handled everything and got me everything I need to get my custody and child... support adjusted. I would not have been able to get where I am today without Craig and the Kallen law firm team

Thankful I choice Kallen

I’m very pleased with their skill set We first reached out to Kallen law firm in 2019 about a motion to modify. At the time I was a custodial parent and my ex had alternating weekends with some in-week, non overnight visitation. My ex regularly refused to return the children, whether it was midwee...k or weekend. She moved several times and wouldn’t reveal where. She was in a violent relationships, but I couldn’t violate the parenting plan. I procrastinated a year, but in 2020 we finally hired Kallen. I was very impressed with each member of the firm. They all did their parts very well. And when we went to trial - Mr Kallen was awesome. It was like the movies. He fought for the best interests of the children and I appreciated it. I’m hoping there are no more future need for Motions but, if there is I will 100% use these guys. They had reasonable affordable prices. And I just really can’t say enough good things about them.

Miracle worker

Craig saved my children. My ex was abusive and Craig fought with me for 2.5 years to keep them safe. I now have full physical and legal custody with supervised visitation, in a system where that is unheard of. He knew exactly what to do to accomplish what we needed, and I completely trust him. Thank ...you Craig!

This Dance of many Dances

Craig is an outstanding and honorable attorney. I utilized his services after being recommended by a dear friend whose daughter used him in her divorce and was very pleased by his representation. I have been plagued by an ex who repeatedly chooses to waste money in the court system. Mr. Kallen has... been very honest and forthcoming from the beginning even if it was something I didn’t want to hear or if I wanted to lash out from my frustrations and this wasn’t the best option. Mr. Kallen and his office staff made me feel genuinely cared about, was very responsive to any and all questions and how the case affected my child as well as myself. Their hearts are big and takes the time to get the best outcome even when the opposing council tries to fight dirty and tries to strong arm to get their way. Mr. Kallen has been absolutely professional and outstanding attorney through the trials and tribulations of changing of judges, the opposing side changing attorneys, and maneuvering through different tactics from the opposing attorneys and changing his strategy to remain strong and factual. I couldn’t have imagined fighting this more than two year go around without him as my attorney! He is a true professional, expert in his field and goes to great lengths to fight the good fight for you! He is truly the BEST Attorney out there (and I have had several)!

Fantastic family law attorney who listens and cares about his clients.

I found Craig Kallen after having an awful experience with Ellen Watkins and Merle Silverstein. He has been a blessing in my life. He is a good man and an outstanding attorney that cares about his clients. He has represented me on numerous occasions in divorce modification, civil issues and custody i...ssues and I am always pleased with the outcome. I cannot say enough good things about Craig, Joe, and Rachel. They are an outstanding team devoted to their clients. I highly recommend.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Craig Kallen. My experience with Craig has been that he is uniformly well-prepared, reasonable to deal with, capable, and reliable in his interactions with opposing counsel. When Craig tells me something, I rely on his word. This trait is not uniformly the case with other lawyers in this field, resulting in waste of time, and client money, in handling Family Law matters, in particular."
