Very strong counsel

Joe Calmes has represented several of my companies as well as me personally since 1990. In that time he has consistently delivered well considered legal counsel and has helped me to prevail when the situation required that I navigate a labyrinthine legal problem. He has been extremely responsive, tho...ughtful, creative and knowledgeable in all of our dealings. I have referred him many times and will continue to do so with great confidence.

Highly recommended lawyer for construction law

I have worked with Joe for over 20 years. Not only can you count on Joe to be prepared but he is also very responsive with timing of reviewing contracts, claims, etc. More importantly it is how he goes about his work that I appreciate the most. He is consistant in his deameanor and effectiveness... with out clients. He does not talk over people and can relate a contract term into one that all parites can relate to which makes him very effective. He is fair and makes sure our business terms are reasonable and not one-sided. I would highly recommend Joe.
