Ernest Calhoon

Newport Beach lawyer Ernest Calhoon fought for me and won my case. And while I realize he usually represents fathers, I came referred and he did mine. He can't fight any harder for the anyone than he did for me. His winning my case may seem like a small thing, but every other lawyer I spoke with ...in the area said I had to move back to where my abusive husband lived. My husband is from a very affluent family in the area and I feared I could not get a fair hearing. I also feared for my safety if I came back. Ernest Calhoon said I didn't have to and shouldn't, and fought for me. Ernest Calhoon spoke to many lawyers to attempt to find a good one to take over my case, but he and I just couldn't find one, so he ultimately took it over himself even though it was out of his area. The cards in the deck of my case were really stacked against me, and we fought the first judge, a commissioner, who seemed unfair. I made the decision to ask that Judge be removed, and Ernest Calhoon fought to do that, but the judge said he was wrong and didn't have to leave. The Judge did leave, and with the new Judge I was allowed to stay with my family and not return until the trial (we won that fight) and later was allowed to stay permanently after a full trial (we won that one too). All the people at the courthouse knew him as "The Newport Beach Lawyer", and they said that with respect. I was able to stand my ground, to stand up for myself and my children for the first time in my life. I did so and won, even when all the supposed experts told me I could not win and to not even fight. We are still happily living near my family out of state, and have never returned. I thank the Lord every day for this lawyer and what he did for my children and me.
