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.

Craig Kallen more than just an outstanding attorney....

My divorce was very complicated and seemed endless.. My ex husband tried to avoid paying child support and alimony and returned us to court again and again. But I was blessed to have such a great attorney as Crag Kallen who represented me in my divorce and in the appeal process and won it! Craig is n...ot only an outstanding divorce attorney but he is a great and very knowledgeable appeal attorney. I came to Kallen's law firm when I had a very difficult financial situation after a serious illness and Craig always suggested me the most affordable way to save on attorney's fee. Craig Kallen is very dedicated to his clients and he would fight for you to the end.  He is very high competent in his field and builds his tactic based on facts. Craig worked with me as a team. I always had his support which was very important for me. I'm very thankful to Craig. He is an outstanding attorney and a very kind person. His professionalism, intelligence, willingness to listen to his clients, absolute decency and honesty - all those are the key to great results and success.  I highly recommend Craig Kallen to anyone who is looking for the highly professional and honest attorney who cares about his clients and loves what he is doing. I am also very thankful to Craig's team: Rachel and Joe for their great help.

Kallen Law Firm - Craig Kallen

Having worked with Craig and his staff through a divorce, obviously a very difficult time in my life. I can absoutely tell anyone that I am better from it. They put me in a place far better off than I thought I would be.

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.

Full Legal and Physical Custody

After my court experience, I consider Craig a friend. I wasn't his only client, but I felt like I was. As a father, Craig got me Full Legal and Full Physical custody of our son. Soon after, he opened the door for my son and me to relocate out of state. I had good reason for wanting this and Craig... was able to skillfully convey that to the judge. Craig often spoke with me about my hopes and concerns and kept me focused. Craig's book on how to save lawyer fees got me more involved and more knowledgeable of the court process. Craig will do everything for you, but you'll both thrive as a team. I had several opportunities to compare Craig side by side with other lawyers. My ex-wife went through several lawyers in an attempt to stop the machine that Craig Kallen is. Craig was always courteous and professional in the face of those who tried to be intimidating and bullying. He confidently guided me through the minefield that Family Court can be. I can't recommend him enough.

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."
