I had a problem, called a few local lawyers, but the only one who took the time to return my call was Philip McCalister. I was very pleased with the information he gave me and will use him again.
It is always nice to work with professionals who care about you. With legal issues, it is even more important. I knew since day one that I would be treated with priority and given direction with my best interest considered. This has been a great experience and I will continue as a client for all legal needs or advice.
I recently had a consultation with Attorney McCalister and had a great experience. He was very knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely kind. I felt comfortable speaking with him and would highly recommend him for family law matters.
