Excellent Lawyer

Calvin is the epitome of a supportive lawyer who defends his client. When he heard my friend’s case, he reacted with genuine caring and determination to obtain fair terms. Throughout the reworking of the settlement, Calvin was strategic and detail-oriented. He was always responsive to questions vi...a phone calls and emails and took the time to explain legalities in understandable language. He and his staff are professional and friendly experts at their jobs. Without hesitation, I would recommend Calvin to you for resolution of your legal problems.

Marriage of long duration ending

I found Mr. Louie to be to the point with sound advice. He was generous with his time & I appreciated his kindness and concern for me. Divorce is highly emotional, especially for a marriage of 35 years plus -- he kept me focused on what was best for me.

Great phone screen

Calvin was very personable. He understood my situation and provided advice that made sense. He was very knowledgable and I never felt rushed on the phone with him meaning he took the time explain my options in detail.
