Posted by David | October 10, 2013 | Wrongful Termination

Exceptional Dedication and Preparation

If there was a Best Lawyer Ever award, I would nominate this attorney. Mr. Kallis' representation allowed me to prevail both in a wrongful termination and a long wrongful death case. He continues to successfully defend me in a dispute with a city Planning and Building department where his effort prov...es you CAN fight City Hall. He seems to win by being better prepared. An example of that was the extent to which he went in prevailing in a summary judgement motion filed in probate court. Though he admitted to possessing only rudimentary knowledge of probate law at the start, he not only boned up enough to single handedly prevail over two veteran probate attorneys, but also established new law in a complicated corner of this legal area. I also learned that required many nights working past midnight. Without that exceptional dedication, I would have lost the case and my life would have been immeasurably more difficult since then. Beyond these qualities, the thing I appreciate even more is his caring approach. He understands litigation can be a nasty, emotionally draining, process for clients so tries to solve problems in the least disruptive, professional, and non-litigious manner. That said, in my experience, his opponents understand that if they do push things into court, they take on the risk of facing a determined and exceptionally well prepared adversary. Example: At one point in my wrongful death case, he was facing seven opposing lawyers. And he beat every one of them.

Great Civil Attorney

I hired attorney Kallis to help me in a civil litigation. He was great, he explained us our options and always kept us up to date on our case. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.
