I would like to take a moment to thank Craig . He never told us how things should go, or lead us his way. Craig took time to listen, and because of this the divorce went quickly and painlessly. My ex and I are still on good terms. When he took the small retainer I was impressed, not to mention that he did not charge for the initial visit. When it was over I got money back, yes... money back. I don't write many reviews but I need to let people know of a good HONEST lawyer. I would recommend him to my closest friend or family.

This law office was very frustrating to say the least. Communication was horrible in that if a response was expected, one never came, calls, emails, text. I never met Ms. Gray even though she handled a number of things. Some filings were never completed that were crucial (now I'm finding out), some issues I asked expected or asked to do never were addressed nor completed. My case was a complete joke and I'm still left with unended issues. The system is broke, the courts, the attorneys are just there for the money.

Craig provided succinct and easily understood legal advice that allowed me to independently work out most of the details of the settlement with my ex, which kept the legal fees very reasonable. I also liked that Craig answered many of my questions via email, which he did gratis. Lastly, you have to like a law firm that is NOT located in Clayton. Much less pretense and parking/traffic hassle.
Craig, Rachel and Joe were all very caring and compassionate. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Craig Kalen to anyone who is looking for the very professional and honest attorney who cares about his clients as much as he would care about his family members. I have known Craig for many years and he became more than just an attorney for me, he became one of the most important people in my life because he went with me all the way from a very complicated divorce to the appeal process from the beginning to the end and won it ! Craig is not only an outstanding divorce attorney but he is a great and very knowledgeable Appeal attorney. I came to Kalen's law firm when I had a difficult financial situation after a serious illness and for Craig Kalen, the bills/payments were never a priority unlike to other attorneys. He was always dedicated to his clients and cases. In many situations he suggested the most affordable way to save on attorney's fee. I'm very thankful to Craig Kalen for being an outstanding attorney and a very kind person. His professionalism, intelligence, willingness to work with client as a team, the absolute decency and honesty - all those are the key to great results and success. It is very important to feel secure and have a trust in your attorney, who will give you his professionalism and heart in your most difficult time in your life. Craig Kalen is one of those true attorneys. I am also very thankful to Craig's team: Rachel and Joe for their great help. Joe's sense of humor was a great deal of support in many occassions, especially before a trial!

While Mr. Kallen's advice is excellent, his billing practices are unscrupulous. We called his office and asked for the remainder of our retainer fee ($2500!) back. His office, including his paralegal Joe, promised to get us a bill within a couple days. Three days later, he said it would be emailed within hours. The next phone calls predictably went to voicemail. We called nearly ten times over the course of a week and a half and have yet to receive a bill, to say nothing about the roughly $2000 he still owes us!!!

In exchange for a reasonable fee, you will receive extremely competent legal services. My outcome was exactly what I desired, and they were a big help in the process. Highly recommend.

The process is awful but Kallen (Rachel Gray) were awesome. They always called me back right away and they didn't hound me about money. They understood I was a single father having to go thru this and worked with me every step of the way. Thanks you guys for helping me keep custody of my little girl. She thanks you too.

Craig Kallen has been such a fantastic help to my kids and I over the past 8 years! He has calmed my fears with every situation and kicked some major butt for me. Over the years I have felt like family when I come in to see him and Joe. I have and will continue to reccomend him to family and friends. Thank you guys for all that you do.

I went through a separation and divorce two years ago. My attorney Rachel Gray was compassionate and kind towards me as she fought for a fair settlement in a timely manner without bleeding me out financially during the process.

Rachel Gray was an amazing attorney! She took the time to get to know me, and listened to what my concerns were. She always had the best interest of me and my 2 young children. My divorce was heart breaking and messy, but through it all Rachel Gray was right there with me, answering all of my questions, reassuring me and making sure that I was comfortable with what was going on. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an affordable, competent attorney to help you get through a difficult time.

Craig is an outstanding and honorable attorney. I utilized his services after being recommended by a dear friend whose daughter used him in her divorce and was very pleased by his representation. I have been plagued by an ex who repeatedly chooses to waste money in the court system. Mr. Kallen has been very honest and forthcoming from the beginning even if it was something I didn’t want to hear or if I wanted to lash out from my frustrations and this wasn’t the best option. Mr. Kallen and his office staff made me feel genuinely cared about, was very responsive to any and all questions and how the case affected my child as well as myself. Their hearts are big and takes the time to get the best outcome even when the opposing council tries to fight dirty and tries to strong arm to get their way. Mr. Kallen has been absolutely professional and outstanding attorney through the trials and tribulations of changing of judges, the opposing side changing attorneys, and maneuvering through different tactics from the opposing attorneys and changing his strategy to remain strong and factual. I couldn’t have imagined fighting this more than two year go around without him as my attorney! He is a true professional, expert in his field and goes to great lengths to fight the good fight for you! He is truly the BEST Attorney out there (and I have had several)!
