Gloria L Cales

Gloria helped me work through my divorce and she made a difficult and emotional circumstance as easy as possible. She is very easy to talk to and communicates clearly with respect to advocating appropriately for her client. Her vast experience was clearly evident very early into our initial conversat...ion. I would absolutely refer her to my friends and family.

I entered into the divorce process very unsure about what to expect . Gloria and her staff not only knew the system and the law but talked to me like a person. I felt like I could ask any questions without feeling like it was a stupid question . When we went to trial Gloria was organized and it was ...clear she knew her way around a courtroom. I felt well prepared and sure of my position. I have referred my family members to gloria and they have been as pleased as I was. Gloria is awesome. Gloria was organized

I hired her a few years ago on a child custody case. It didn't take me long during the court session I had hired an unprepared lawyer. She informed me not to utter a word and unfortunately she didn't utter anything either. I soon realized that she was totally afraid of the other lawyer and judge. ... As the preceding went on she seemed to go along with the statements from the other lawyer. Not only did I lose the case, I ended up paying excessive child support and astronomical fees to her. I would never recommend this so called attorney to my worst enemy. She should not be able to practice in Arizona. She is only in it for the money and she does not due justice for her clients.

My experience with Gloria was very positive. She's a terrific attorney who is extremely knowledgeable about family law. She was up front and straight forward about any issues or concerns and told me when to worry and when not to worry. She sugar-coated nothing! She is very ethical and won't put up ...with the opposing counsel behaving in a less than ethical manner. Her staff is also great. They keep their clients informed on details concerning their case and were also great on answering any questions in a timely manner. You can tell she's got nearly 30 years of experience in family law! She is one of the best.

Gloria represented me 3 years ago. I wanted full custody of my children due to the abusiveness of their father. She told me that I was not likely to win. She then made an agreement with the opposing council to give their father 50-50 custody. She called and informed me that this decision had been mad...e, and I was so legally naive at the time I did not know I could have said no. A week later I consulted with another attorney who told me Gloria did not have authority to make that decision. I fired her, and 6 months later won my case with my new attorney. I made a complaint to the bar, but they dismissed it stating Gloria had sent them "notes" of our discussion in which I told her to accept the custody offer.
