Family law

He was hard fighter for what he believes in and stubborn as a pit bull which works for him and against him wish we could work on another case with a different result but you have respect the knowledge he has in the law

Mr. Calhoon is a fine lawyer who saved my children and my life

Thank you Mr. Calhoon! Not inexpensive, but very fair, and I can't imagine anyone fighting harder for me. He really does hate to lose. Highly Recommend!

Mr. Calhoon Is a Great Lawyer Who Helped Me With Just a Telephone Call!

I contacted Mr. Calhoon as I had received many envelopes of negative papers and lawsuits. It seemed very unfair to me. I was with him when he called the bad guys. He got it all worked out and I get to get on with life. I'm very happy. Thank you.

BEST LAWYER EVER!!!

BEST LAWYER EVER! THAT PRETTY WELL SUMS IT UP. MY EX PULLED A FAST ONE AND WENT TO COURT TAKING MY KIDS AWAY. I HIRED HIS LAWYER AND HAD THEM BACK THE NEXT DAY. SOME OF WHAT HE DID WAS SHARED WITH ME, SOME WAS BEHIND THE SCENES AND HE SAID HE WOULD TELL ME LATER. MAYBE HE WILL, MAYBE HE WO...N'T. ALL I CARE ABOUT IS THAT I HAVE MY KIDS! THANK YOU ATTORNEY CALHOON! AND A DOUBLE THANK YOU FROM MY CHILDREN YOU SAVED!!!

Everybody Else Said I Had to Move Back to My Abusive Husband, But This Lawyer Said NO, Fought For Me and Won!

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.
