Brian Le Bon Calpin

I thank GOD that I have a WONDERFUL lawyer now, but I am utterly appalled that a person such as this man, Brian L. Calpin, can call still call himself an Attorney At Law, and still possess his state licensing to practice family law. THESE ARE FAMILIES we are talking about here! The ONLY thing that is... most important in life! I am completely IRATE at this man for his POOR and unprofessional representation and straight up LIES. I TRUSTED this man with the most IMPORTANT fight of my LIFE and gave him my money. Good thing God gave me the sense to move on and find a better lawyer! Please pass on that he is NOT to be trusted and is NOT worth wasting your money on!

I retained Brian calpin a few years ago for a divorce. After I payed him his retainer fee, he disappeared off the face of the earth. Finally after many,many attempts to contact him he would call back, but was clueless as to what was going on. Which btw from what I understand, that lack of communicat...ion is malpractice. Even the little effort he did make was laughable. Motions, cross motions and basically any and all documents were vague and POORLY written. He left many things hanging in the balance that are still haunting me to this day. In the courtroom he sat slumped in his chair and said not one word on my behalf, which there was definately ample moments that he should have reacted. I could go on and on but, I think you get the idea. I seriously was considering suing and/or taking steps with the NJ BAR ASSOC. concernng this matter. I would NEVER RECOMEND BRIAN CALPIN to anyone. I dont know Brian personally, but as a lawyer, it is my opinion he is INCOMPETENT.

I contacted Mr. Calpin in Nov. of 2011 to represent me in my expungement process. My consultation went well and he informed that the process should take no longer than 2-3 mos. I waited one month to contact Mr. Calpin about my case and he told me that it was a process and he will keep me posted, I w...aited another month to contact him this is when he told me I had a hearing on Apr. 15th of 2012 only to find out that date was on Sunday. At this point I decided to do my own research and contacted the expungement office, there I was told that my expungement was never filed and to contact my lawyer(Mr. Calpin). When I did that he told me it was filed and that the office must of misplaced it. So I called the expungement office back and was informed that if in fact the expungment paperwork was filed that he would have received a package from their office, and if so, just to send them proof and they would go ahead with the process, Mr. Calpin didn't have any proof and said that he would just file it again, 5 mos. later.. I declined that offer and asked for a refund. At first he refused saying he did the paperwork but it was just lost and that happens all the time. I asked for proof that he actually filed the paperwork, fax confirmation, letter, anything. He couldn't provide this. Now I am in the process of filing and complaint. So again I tell you DO NOT USE BRIAN CALPIN! Save yourself a headache...

We hired Mr. Calpin in October 2009. Once he received payment, we did not hear from him again until February 2010 when we threatened legal action to retrieve our retainer. We called numerous times, sent many many emails and he never responded. His office is basically empty and we became VERY worri...ed that he'd moved without notifying us. He told us in an email just before we asked for our money back that he filed paperwork with the courthouse. A phone call to the courthouse revealed he lied to us. He did finally issue a refund, but kept all of our paperwork and tied up our retainer unnecessarily for four months. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more money on a more professional attorney.
