Michael James Kalanta

Mr. Kalanta helped us with when my brother was trying to take our son. He and his staff dug in and went head on with them and we prevailed. Mr. Kalanta really cared about my family and what was in the best interest of our son, I know count him and his family and staff as Friends. I can not thank Mr. ...Kalanta enough for standing with my family, they always kept us positive even when it looked the worst. You could have no better Attorney standing with you then Michael Kalanta, he and his staff genuinely care about the families they represent. Michael Kalanta Thank You, my family is whole because of you, your family, and staff.

My world was turned upside down. My husband and I were in a evil custody battle with my brother in law. In our moment of desperation and feeling so defeated. I found Micheal Kalanta. From day one he has put our minds are ease. He and his staff worked very hard for us. In and out of the court room. In... court we were so scared. Mr.Kalanta got right down to the truth and showed the judge what outrageous lair my brother-in-law was. We won our case hands down! If not for our wonder attorney. It just wouldn't be possible. He is worth every penny. I would and have referred him to everyone I know. He and his staff are Amazing!

Just like the other review, he is does not do his due diligence.. I hired him to do a final settlement with the wife's attorney since her attorney would not respond to my settlement offers. It took him 9 months to do something that should have taken weeks... Charged a ridiculous fee and to zero out ...his books he sent me bogus billings to spend the last couple hundred dollars on account... What a dishonest person... Then to top it off he never sent me my final divorce papers. Terrible office personnel. Could have emailed, mailed, whatever, but no papers, it's been 1 1/2 years and I am having to request them again...Do not waist your time, money or stress with this guy and his firm... Absolutely should not be in business, especially in the legal business. He is very inexperienced... Shame on him......I would not recommend him to my worst enemy...

I hired Michael in July 2017 to assist with removing my daughters from a very dangerous and unhealthy situation. For 7 years, I've tried off and on to gain custody of my girls but their mother always seemed to keep the wolves at bay on technicalities or by manipulating my girls. Michael Kalanta is t...he first attorney who "Got IT" and had a legitimate strategy for winning my case. He was thoughtful, educated, thorough and most importantly consistent. His staff is fantastic and know the law. They know the court rooms in Stanislaus County and how to win. I've worked with lawyers on hundred million dollar real estate transactions and I've been through family court attorneys, but Kalanta Law was the first law firm where I actually felt like my attorney had a vested personal interest in seeing my case resolved in a righteous way. I was tight on money, he was creative with my payment. I was fearful of the results, he and his staff were assuring and kept me sane. We brainstormed like a team and I'm happy to say my daughters are now removed from the dangerous and unhealthy situation they had been subjected to for years. I could not have gotten this result without the entire staff over at Kalanta Law. I would STRONGLY recommend them to anyone who has lost hope in the system and wants to see justice brought to their case.

I signed Mr. Kalanta in 2014 for what I knew was going to be a long, drawn out and honestly brutal child custody battle. In 2017 we got it done, it was the right thing to do for my three kids, they were living in a horrible situation, Mr. Kalanta and his law team represented me well and got it done.... Yes, tough cases like these take a lot of hard work on both the parent and law firm, yes, it costs a lot of money to fight for custody of children, those were basic expectations of mine going into the legal preceding's, not knowing what the outcome might be is the unknown part of this, Mr. Kalanta and his law firm walked me through it all, every step of the way we did it together. Mr. Kalanta fought hard for me in the court room, had to deal with a very upset other parent that lost custody; he always stayed professional, even when I wanted to loose my cool. Mr. Kalanta is prior service Navy, I'm active duty myself, he understood the challenges of being on active duty but also fighting for custody, pay, benefits, military programs, he understood. I definitely recommend Mr. Kalanta and his legal team, if I have any future legal needs he will be the lawyer I turn to for help. Thank you Mr. Kalanta!
