Ernest Calhoon

I am a medical doctor and write my review anonymously to maintain my privacy for my patients and me. I hired Mr. Calhoon after spending $40,000.00 with my prior counsel and getting nowhere except for negative progress. I was extremely pleasantly surprised with his representation. My case was n...ot easy as my wife was trying to be difficult in every way possible. She found a lawyer to follow her lead on this in every way. Unfortunately, at first I did not have the lawyer to fight back and that lasted a year. When I finally got Mr. Calhoon I had the lawyer to fight back as I will explain. First, Mr. Calhoon kept me informed of everything that was going on at all stages of the proceeding. Whenever we had communication with the opposition I received copies of messages. I was also sent electronically all emails, faxes and pleadings in the case. This might seem normal to others, but this was not my experience with the prior counsel I had hired. I didn't expect all of this. It just happened. When I hired Mr. Calhoon I had not seen my case file, deposition transcripts, or anything else. I didn't ask him to do anything regarding that, but he simply copied all of it and emailed it to me so I could assist in my own case. It was refreshing, and turned out to be very effective in the long run. I had no problem reaching Mr. Calhoon either by email, phone or otherwise, and messages left were always promptly returned. To be clear on this, no communication of mine was ever left unanswered and was always returned in kind (email by email) or often with a phone call explaining details that email would be cumbersome to explain. I wish I could say we quickly reached our objectives. It was quick relative to the prior counsel, but it still took time, with the court continuing over our objections more than once. However, I can say we developed a strategy together and carried it out. When things didn't go our way initially, we just changed direction just a little bit and kept working and in the end we got there. I received everything I wanted and more in the end. It was a great deal of work and I saw that in the frequent court filings, faxes, emails and other communications and work. Mr. Calhoon worked far more than an 8 hour day on his job, and that hard work and dedication paid off for me -- the client -- in the end. I only wish I had hired him a year sooner, as much of his work was unraveling the mistakes of the prior counsel. I highly recommend this attorney. I was extremely pleasantly surprised with Mr. Calhoon's great work, efforts and results. As a professional myself, I particularly appreciate his work understanding the challenges working with people and other professionals.
