Very experienced and professional

Cid and Aracely you are the best!!!! I was in a panic, for I had never had to deal with the law before. When I spoke with Cid on the initial consultation, I felt very relieved that he would be there every step of the way. Aracely was amazing in keeping in contact with me on all my issues. Aracely als...o relieved a lot of my stress by continual conversations and assuring me that all would be ok and it was. Thank you so much for believing in me and getting my case dismissed. I highly recommend this law firm and all the staff. If you are in need of an attorney you wont go wrong here. They are the best!!!!!!

Exceptional Criminal Attorney

I hired Sid to represent my daughter who faced serious criminal charges. He is exemplary in his criminal and family law knowledge. His fees were very very reasonable. He kept my daughter informed and was always available to answer her questions and calm her fears. He is aggressive in his represent...ation and knows how the court processes work. He resolved my daughter's charges with two serious offenses dropped and only unsupervised probation on a minor misdemeanor. If you need an expert Criminal or family lawyer, Cid is your man. He really cares about his clients and he will get you the best results possible. Thank you Sid !

Amazing Criminal/Family Law Attorney in Yuma

Cid is a compassionate and driven attorney that has this analytical & strategic skill. He helped me on my criminal case, which I thought was going to haunt me forever. He was able to get it down to a misdemeanor and a set aside was granted by the judge. My life changed in the hands of Mr. Kallen.

Very patient and understanding.

Retained CID Kallen to file a motion for set aside of judgement for cases that were 20 plus years old. This had to be done in order for me to keep my job. He was up front with me about the process and kept me informed along the way. The set aside was granted today, thanks to Cid and his team's dili...gence. I cannot thank them enough.

Outstanding attorney

Mr. Kallen was my assigned attorney in an incident i was involved. Thanks to his hard work, ethics standars and professionalism my case was a success. Second time I got in trouble I did not even thought it twice to go over with him. I was charged a very competitive fee with the same outcome of the fi...rst case. Both DUI got dismissed. I am very happy for his sucess and hard work. I would highly endorse and recommed him as an attorney.
