Unqualified

Calvin Scholar(New Rochelle)…I don’t care what words he uses to convince you that he can help you, he can not!!!…do not trust this man with yours or your loved ones future…they will not have a future if you give this man your case. He is not concerned. He is dishonest and will take you money withou...t thinking about the outcome. Please do your research this man is not qualified to practice law…believe me when I tell you…a person’s innocence is not his concern. Money is all that matters to him and he doesn’t deserve one thing dime!!!!!…do your research…you will learn a lot about this parasite.

One of the best attorneys in the area

Mr. Scholar is an excellent and one of the most knowledgeable attorneys in the area. He is honest and straight forward; and will give you an accurate assessment of your legal options, unlike other attorneys who will promise you unreal outcomes just to get you to retain them. He is a former prosecut...or who knows the system and how to get results. So if you are looking for an attorney who is professional and can get good results he is the best in this area. When you are looking for an attorney, you should go with the guy who can get you the best results. When you have legal issues, you want the best lawyer who can get the best results and that is really all that matters. When I hire professionals I don't get caught up in the little things, but I do want a professional who does the job the best. Mr. Scholar is professional, knowledgeable the best and gets good results! I am a former client, got good results and now refer him to all friends and family looking for a good lawyer. If I ever needed any legal representation in the future I would call Mr. Scholar because I know he will get me good results.

Calvin Scholar

Mr. Scholar appeared quite knowledgeable and said all the right things. The only thing I asked of him when we met and before we signed his contract was that he would be honest with me. As my son's case went on he became less and less reponsive to my inquiries. By the end if the case he was very nast...y, did not want me nor my husband to ask him any questions. By this timely husband and realized how incompetent he really is and not much experience so we did not risk our son going to trial with Mr. Scholar. We tried to hire another attorney but it was too late. Our son ended up taking a plea of "according" to Mr. Scholar 5 years in jail and five year on post supervision release. As it turns out Mr.Scholar lied or really showed how incompetent he really is because my son is serving 10 years in and 5 year post supervision release. What a big mistake our attorney made. I never wanted or expected Calvin to change anything about my son's case. I just ask that he be honest and that was difficult for him.
