Caring and compassionate

I found myself in the unbelievable position, after over 40 years of marriage, of needing a divorce lawyer. Mr. Calder was understanding and caring about my needs and went above and beyond, as the saying goes, to do everything he could to get a reasonable settlement for me. I highly recommend him, no...t only for his legal expertise but his compassion during a very difficult time.

I would highly recommend Stephen Calder as an OUTSTANDING lawyer. He throughly guided me through my extremely difficult divorce. He was always willing to go the extra mile for my family and I. If I ever had any questions he always responded back to me in a timely manner and was willing to explain ...things in a simple, down to earth way. He is very knowledgeable, which is a reflection of the number of years he has been practicing law. He is one of the kindest and most giving people I have ever met....that is a true gift and extremely rare in the world we live in. He is very organized and is very well respected in the community. He truly helped me get through one of the most difficult events in my life and I definitely could not have gotten throught it without his help. Any future clients that need a lawyer should definitely look into the outstanding services of Stephen Calder. I would not hesitate for a minute to use his services again due to the "above and beyond" attititude he possesses. Thank you so much Stephen you are one of a kind!!!

Caring, honest and an excellent litigator!

My family and I have used Mr Calder as our attorney for over 40 years, our first lawsuit he won. In that case the jury foreman came to the judge in open court and asked if he could award us MORE damages then we were asking for! Since then I have referred Stephen to clients of every type, he has be...en quick to turn down people he could not help, so as not to charge them frivolously! That is an ethical lawyer. Steve is easy to speak with, he is excellent with people extremely caring and a ferocious advocate when you need one! He has a wonderful perspicacity for jury's as people, and it shows in his positive verdicts. Steve is not only a great attorney but an exemplary person! I recommend him highly to all my family and friends! John W. N., CRB, CRS, GRI, CNE Broker Owner American Home Realty, LLC

If you want excellence..Look no further

Stephen Calder is a DAMN fine attorney. He has been my family lawyer for 14 yrs now. I have always taken great comfort in having him as my lawyer. He has the perfect balance of compassion for you and the issues you face, and distaste for the opposition. You will never question who's side he's on! ...He pulls no punches. He speaks in plain simple English, gets to know you and your case, and tells you what the game plan is, and the expected outcome. He is very responsive and keeps you well informed of what is going on, and what he is doing/filing on your behalf. If it is excellence in Family Law that you seek, honestly look no further, you have found the right man! I have recommended him to many of my family and friends, and will continue to do so till the day he stops practicing law. Which I hope is never for people who want and NEED lawyers like him.

My Lawyer

Stephen Calder is my lawyer and has been for a little over 14 years. He has given me confidence in my search for help with my divorce, child custody and child support case. He is a great lawyer with nothing but honest intentions and success when it comes to the law and how he represents you to and ...for the courts. As a person I consider him a great ali and a very easy person to talk with. He will tell it like it is. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. I have to my friends and family. He works hard and will present the end result with great success.
