World Class Attorney and Person

I had a great experience with Cantor Law Group from the start. My attorney, Caleb McKay, is knowledgeable, professional, confident, and seemed to not only genuinely care about my custody case, but also my child as well. I felt comfortable and confident with him as my attorney which ultimately yield...ed a positive outcome for my case. I highly recommend the services of Cantor Law Group and Mr. McKay as well.

HIGHLY recommend!

Caleb Mckay at Cantor Law Group worked on my not-so-simple divorce and child custody case, which involved severe domestic violence, for ten months and delivered what I asked for, ensuring the safety of our child. Caleb did an excellent job of bringing out the truth in trial, showing countless exhibit...s of evidence and leading me through the process, while keeping everything organized and documented which helped disprove any false allegations from the other party. This case was not a case many attorneys would know how to handle, as I had learned prior to hiring Caleb, but Caleb handled it with confidence and grace. Caleb showed that he was experienced in cases involving domestic violence and difficult circumstances, and he never stopped fighting to ensure a safe outcome for the child while ensuring healthy parenting time with both parents, as I had asked. I felt comfortable talking to him about any concerns or questions and he always made sure I understood everything going on within the case every step of the way, as well as showing empathy and support throughout. I HIGHLY recommend Caleb, as he will be dedicated to your case, and never steer you wrong. I also highly recommend Caleb for the more complex cases and those involving domestic violence, as he did a phenomenal job and I am immensely grateful!!

Caleb is forward thinking and very well prepared prior to court

My advice if you are facing divorce, if at all possible attempt to go the mediation route first. However, should you need a family law attorney Caleb McKay & his paralegal Jamie are an excellent team. Prior to hiring a law firm, I poured over dozens of reviews, completed multiple “free consultations”..., and did hours of research, terrified of making the wrong decision. I never made it to the point of even needing a consultation from Cantor. I initially spoke to Mr. Boca for over 1.5 hrs on a Friday afternoon. At the end of the conversation he stated we could schedule a consultation. I expressed there was no need, he had already answered all of my questions & I wanted to move forward. Caleb was assigned to my case & always did an excellent job answering any questions I had, and trust me, there were plenty. I went through a marathon divorce no thanks to my ex & her lawyer. Caleb excels at making sure you are 110% prepared before you ever step foot in front of a judge or mediator. Divorce is not an enjoyable process, and it’s filled with conversations that are not easy to have. At the end of the day I’m confident I made the right choice in hiring Cantor Law Group.

A good man and a fantastic lawyer.

Sometimes it seems that when you are the father going through custody issues, that the deck is stacked against you. Caleb was my attorney for over a year and a half, and he was absolutely essential for making sure that my daughters were kept out of the hazardous situation that my ex-wife created. Ca...leb and his exceptional paralegal, Jamie Roser, were always there to provide sound legal assistance. And other times they were there to be a shoulder to lean on, because custody issues can be tough on everyone, even a father. I know everyone's situation is different, but Caleb was able to help me become the primary residential parent, helped me get final say authority, and child support. When it comes to your children, I understand that it is hard to trust someone with their wellbeing, but I would put my trust in Caleb and Jamie anytime. They are not just good at their job's they are good people.

Review

Mid 2022 i required a lawyer to help with maintaining visitation right with my kids and to help with the process of divorce. Caleb was very informative and helpful. Jamie was always very prompt in responding all my emails. And everyone I came in contact from day one until the end were great. Would re...commend and call again if i needed anything else.
