One of the Worst

Mr. Kallen failed on so many levels of my divorce and his handling of my case cost me dearly. There are several very important issues that have caused me to warn potential clients, his communication skills were poor. Very very seldom did calls and emails get returned. Several things that were hig...hly important to be completed and confirmed by Kallen were never done. I have found this out after it is too late now and has cost me time, money and some of it cannot be amended. A couple of issues were never followed through again hurting my divorce tremendously. Filing of court documents that never happened. Communication with his office staff was nonexistent. Things being drawn out and not completed now it's too late. Trust, communication, billing, seeing things through, understanding and acting in my interest. For me now it is too late but if I could help anyone to avoid this horrific experience with this attorney, that's what I will do. It is extremely unfair and sickening what transpired in my case so hopefully anyone looking into this firm will keep looking because I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy.

Unethical Billing

We retained Craig's services ($2500!!) and ended up buying an hour of his time for 200. He also wrote a formal letter on our behalf. Months passed, and we no longer needed a trial, so we have asked for the remainder of the retainer fee back to us. Here's where the trouble begins... Craig's office mad...e promises that they would get back to us with a bill for services rendered. It still hasn't happened. We have called at least 8 times and received various promises, but no actual bills. I NEED MY MONEY BACK! We have around $2000 sitting there in his office not doing anything for us! To be fair, Craig seemed knowledgeable at the time, but I am regretting my choices at this moment.

Amazing dedicated attorney

Craig was an amazing attorney very quick and efficient. He got me everything I asked for in my divorce and custody case and was committed to fighting the battle until I got everything my heart desired.....

Does not Follow through

Did not use main evidence and did not try at all. sat there in his chair reading and I felt he did not pay attention. He did not bring up what we had talked about for trial. Very hard to get him on the phone or responce to emails.

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."
