Amazing Lawyer!

Darrel represented me in a litigation matter. He was able to develop the evidence quickly to reach a favorable resolution. I was always informed and communication was outstanding. Any kind of litigation is never a pleasant experience, but I am very thankful that Darrel was my lawyer. I definitely r...ecommend him and would hire him again in an instant!

Highly Recommend!!!

My family and I were involved in a very complicated, personal injury lawsuit and Darrell won the case for us! He was also very efficient in scheduling and communicating with us about the case. He even took the time to come to my family's home and meet with us. I am so grateful for the hard work, expe...rtise, and dedication Darrell put into my case. I endorse him and would highly recommend him to you.

Highly Reccomend!!!!

Darrell represented us in a products liability case involving a serious head injury claim. He did a great job on our case getting the case resolved for us and we are very grateful for the way he handled our case and was able to get things done for us. I would recommend him to others.

Excellent Car Accident Attorney!

I really cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Mr. Calvin. He defended us when our family was involved in a terrible car accident where our son suffered a traumatic brain injury. From the moment we met him, he was flexible, even being willing to meet us at our home during a conven...ient time for us, as not only was our son still at home recovering, but we also had a 3 week old baby at home. Mr. Calvin explained everything very clearly, and he responded to each and every call or question we had. He handled all the paperwork and made the process quite easy. We also felt he was working the entire time for us, as if we were his only clients. :-) We would definitely hire Mr. Calvin again, if the situation arises, and we have already recommended him to friends and family members. He is highly recommended!

"I worked with Darrell on several matters involving the defense of breach of warranty claims against a major retailer.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Darrell is an excellent lawyer and advocate for his clients. I have encountered Darrell as opposing counsel on several matters and he is always well prepared and does a great job of representing his clients' interests. He stands his ground but he also works to find common ground and doesn't waste his clients' time or money arguing or disputing things that shouldn't be disputed. While being on opposite sides of the docket, I have always found Darrell to be good to work with and would certainly recommend him to someone in need of a civil defense lawyer."

Personal injury lawyer | Jul 14

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I represented a plaintiff in a major injury case (loss of an eye, traumatic head injury) and Darrell was hired by the insurance carrier to represent the property owner. It became apparent early on that I was dealing with a "real lawyer" not someone who just wanted to bill the file or drag out the case. We got along but Darrell did his job. Good attorney and a straight shooter, that's why I'm endorsing him."

Personal injury lawyer | May 28

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Darrell defended two signifant personal injury cases I had. One case was a multi-party truck wreck with significant injuries and the other was a wrongful death and signficant injury case. Darrell did a great job defending his clients in these cases. Darrell is a zealous advocate but he also appreciates the practicalities of helping his clients when they are in a tough spot. Defendants call on Darrell in large cases when they need an experienced, hard working advocate."
