Michael James Kalanta

What can I say about Michael that hasn’t already been said. He’s extremely compassionate, fair, and caring. He goes above and beyond for his clients, and gets the results you deserve. Michael takes the time to really help you be at ease during even the most stressful situations and takes the time to ...advise you as much as possible. My case was all over the place, but in the end, I got the results I wanted, and as a dad, I can’t stress how important it is to have someone so competent and knowledgeable in your corner! If you want the best attorney, look no further. I highly recommend Mr. Kalanta to anyone in search of a professional and great family law attorney.

I don’t recall ever posting a review of a service or business before, however, I feel compelled to write this review for two reasons: encouragement and gratitude. The first and most important is out of obligation to encourage anyone who may be in a situation like I was, secretly reviewing attorneys ...and wondering if any can be trusted with their future and the safety of their family. I encourage anyone who has lost faith in the judicial system, anyone who feels that it would be unsafe to continue in their current situation yet fears putting the fate of their children in the hands of the California Court system to reach out to Michael and his team. Michael was dedicated to me and fought for my daughter’s best interest. I never struggled to reach Michael and often found him responding to emailed questions in the wee hours of the morning or even on weekends. He even answered his cell phone on Christmas morning and intervened in a custody issue with Christmas visitation protocol. Be aware, Mike will not put on a TV show appearance of shouting and banging his fist on the table in court- if you’re looking for a show and empty promises that you’ll get full custody and every penny you’ve ever made- go elsewhere and you’ll likely be disappointed in your outcome. What you will find in Michael is someone who burns the midnight oil on your behalf. In court he is calm, cool and collected. On multiple occasions, I was impressed to hear opposing counsel rant and rave out of emotion and then listen to Michael speak confidently and instantaneously cite memorized portions of the law and case examples to refute. His style always seemed to gain favor with the Judge and resulted in a positive outcome for my daughter and me. Michael is a leader who has surrounded himself with an office team that communicates and shows the same dedication to clients. All team members knew my case intimately and made me feel important every time I called or came in for an appointment. The second reason I write this review is out of gratitude to Michael and his team. I told him my top two priorities on my first visit and he delivered 100%. My case was a marathon and not a sprint. It was a process, but the end results were worth every moment and penny invested. His team was thorough and well prepared. I never experienced anything but professionalism and ease when completing or receiving paperwork. Michael proved that with the right counsel, the “system” does indeed provide justice and the right outcome for children. If you are about to embark on the very emotional path of divorce and need someone to who you feel you can trust your children, based on my experience I encourage you to reach out and see if Michael will take your case. Lastly, I’d like to say Thank you Michael Kalanta and team. I am forever grateful and highly recommend your services.

Mr. Kalanta provided me with information that I otherwise would not have have known that enabled me to make a very important decision regarding my child support case. He was very thoughtful and provided insights that were helpful. If I need a family law attorney who will fight for my rights as a fath...er I would highly recommend this attorney.

Mr. Kalanta helped me through a tough divorce and always made sure I understood what was going on through the entire divorce. He made sure that I got the settlement I asked for and worked hard to get me through my divorce. His staff is amazing, always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Mr. Kala...nta and very grateful to have him as my lawyer..

I was referred to Michael Kalanta by a relative as I was addressing custody and other support issues. Michael Kalanta is very professional and truly an excellent lawyer. He assisted me with child custody and support issues as well. Because he represented me, I was able to receive the financial s...upport that was due to me, and the child custody outcome was a success as well. The staff at the Kalanta office provided superior service through it all. They are all very courteous and professional. If you are looking for an excellent lawyer with great staff, the Kalanta Law Office is the way to go!!
