My husband and I used Susan for our estate planning a few years ago. She was very thorough and helpful throughout the whole process. We had such a fantastic experience we have used her exclusively since then. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a phenomenal lawyer!

Susan Hamra assisted my wife and me in establishing our personal wills and family trusts. She listened to our needs and concerns and was extremely thorough in learning about our needs and providing solutions with possibilities we hadn't thought of. I felt that her rates were fair and both my wife and I were very pleased with our overall experiences at her office.

Hamra Law Firm assisted me with advice on family law that was prompt, courteous, and thoughtful. I reached out in hopes of learning more about tax ramifications of marriage and domestic partnership and Susan was able to advise me on all questions I had. I would recommend Hamra Law Firm to anyone seeking assistance in any type of family law!

Susan has been representing our family for over sixteen years in family law, and her success rate has been one hundred percent. Susan's integrity, ethics, honesty, and knowledge of law is above reproach, in short she is a true professional. We would absolutely recommend Susan as an attorney in family law for anyone who needs representation. This short review cannot express the gratitude that my wife and I have toward Susan representing us. Alan and Lori Riley

Craig has represented me four (could be five) times now. Each outcome was very successful. I don't have the words to describe to you what a different life I'd have if it weren't for Craig's legal skills. To me, one of his greatest assets is that he never wants to "go after" the opposition, in that, the case he prepares is not vicious toward the other party. Believe me, that's a terrible, and very expensive, approach. You may think you really want a "bulldog" for an attorney, but that mentality proved devastating, to those, and there were several, that came up against Craig in my battles. They were presenting intimidation; Craig was presenting fact. Craig knows the law, and he knows how to win.

Craig has been my advocate during my never ending divorce! He has gotten me through the actual divorce but my ex keeps causing us to go back to court. As a result, I have been working with Craig for 2 1/2 years. I trust Craig to fight for my well being, unfortunately the courts are delayed and the judges are overwhelmed. He spends time preparing me for court and depositions; providing words of encouragement to keep me upbeat and fighting for my cause. Craig is currently fighting an appeal for me that will "save" me around $70k. It is only because of him that I am fighting as after all this time it is easy to just give up and quit the battle. When I meet with Craig he is completely dedicated to me and focuses on the issues at hand. The one area in which he needs to improve in is keeping me better informed of next steps, length of time something will take and what documents mean . He is aware of this and is committed to improving his internal processes. Craig is also very aware and concerned about my personal safety in court, never leaving me alone with my ex. I can never thank him enough for making me feel safe in a difficult situation. He is definitely one of the GOOD guys!

Having worked with Craig and his staff through a divorce, obviously a very difficult time in my life. I can absoutely tell anyone that I am better from it. They put me in a place far better off than I thought I would be.

I found Craig Kallen after having an awful experience with Ellen Watkins and Merle Silverstein. He has been a blessing in my life. He is a good man and an outstanding attorney that cares about his clients. He has represented me on numerous occasions in divorce modification, civil issues and custody issues and I am always pleased with the outcome. I cannot say enough good things about Craig, Joe, and Rachel. They are an outstanding team devoted to their clients. I highly recommend.

I came to Craig, as most people probably do, in a semi-panicked state. He was very professional, and reassuring, and one of the first things he advised me to do, turned out to be crucial to the case. After only two and a half years of marriage, and no children involved, my (now ex) wife began having some pretty serious mental issues. She became clinically depressed, progressively more and more paranoid, and eventually delusional. She refused any kind of negotiation. The trial was first delayed because she fired her attorney. The trial was delayed a second time because she had to have heart surgery (congenital defect). Over the course of 18 months, she went through three attorneys, and because of judge rotations, we had two different judges. Craig, and his staff, managed through all of this, and the final settlement was very close to what he said it would be, early in the process. I believe he was fair with his fees during this protracted ordeal. I would recommend him highly.

After my court experience, I consider Craig a friend. I wasn't his only client, but I felt like I was. As a father, Craig got me Full Legal and Full Physical custody of our son. Soon after, he opened the door for my son and me to relocate out of state. I had good reason for wanting this and Craig was able to skillfully convey that to the judge. Craig often spoke with me about my hopes and concerns and kept me focused. Craig's book on how to save lawyer fees got me more involved and more knowledgeable of the court process. Craig will do everything for you, but you'll both thrive as a team. I had several opportunities to compare Craig side by side with other lawyers. My ex-wife went through several lawyers in an attempt to stop the machine that Craig Kallen is. Craig was always courteous and professional in the face of those who tried to be intimidating and bullying. He confidently guided me through the minefield that Family Court can be. I can't recommend him enough.

Craig was an amazing attorney very quick and efficient. He got me everything I asked for in my divorce and custody case and was committed to fighting the battle until I got everything my heart desired.....

Did not use main evidence and did not try at all. sat there in his chair reading and I felt he did not pay attention. He did not bring up what we had talked about for trial. Very hard to get him on the phone or responce to emails.
