Excellent

Calvin's services as an attorney is excellent in my opinion. He helped defend me when I was going through a difficult time in my career. He defended me successfully and also provided me several options and solutions. I would reccomend Calvin's services to any legal action. Calvin is also a great neg...otiator. Negotiating through offers and also providing counter offers. Especially if it deals with employment, corporate, and labor laws or litigations. I appreciate Calvin's services and I would highly recommended his services to anybody.

Sample of Legal Cases

Tsosie et al v. Navajo Board of Election Supervisors and RPI Chris Deschene, SC-CV-68-14

The Amicus Brief we filed was granted and resulted in at least one dissent although a Writ was granted. Despite the writ, the Legislative branch was persuaded by our points and undertook its own remedy in lieu of the writ.
