Michael James Kalanta

Mr. Kalanta was my attorney for my divorce He was disorganized and routinely and readily outsmarted by the other attorney. He allowed the other attorney to dominate the courtroom and himself. Having him as my attorney was worse than having no Attorney At All as he lost virtually every round in court....

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 thought I had found a lawyer who could help me instead I lost custody of my child due to his negligence and lack of care or concern of the best interest of me his client. I was set to go to court to dispute with my statement ready and 2 days before this firm informs me that my x has an offer, but I... was never told that if i did not go to hearing that my x would get temporary order.. Had i been rightfully informed I would have said court first then hear their offer. i was then told by going to courthouse that my representation actually had a "scheduling conflict"...... Excuse me?? conflict when I was on you calendar... not only this but I was told they would serve my x with papers for him to pay lawyers fees,, I got a call and was told it was approved.. only to find out that he did not get them approved that the x paid outright without it being sent to court.. The last and final straw was attitude and lack of compassion for me as a person his client whom I thought had my best interest at heart, turns out they are just in it to get your money. Because of this firm I lost custody to my x who has never been anything more than a paycheck and has never once went to a conference or a doctor appointment or even nursed the children back to health. The fact that the blatant outright egregious lies that my x told to get orders under and they did not even allow me to dispute or put a motion in at all to stop the x's request for custody should be horror enough for you to run as far away from Kalanta Lawfirm. I wish I would have googled him but at the time i was under extreme duress and because i was so vulnerable and had been to 4 other law offices that wouldn't help because of money I thought that this firm was my saving grace.. I could not have been more wrong in my life. DO NO TTRUST THIS FIRM AT ALL
