What People Are Saying

Michael McCallum has been our personal lawyer for over 20 years. His law office is in the same building as the San Juan Teachers Association thru which I came to know him and his efficient, professional staff. Not only do they offer legal services in Teacher representation of which I had many years working with his office as a site rep, but also Family Law, Estate Planning, and Misdemeanor Criminal Defense. When it was time to prepare our wills and trust, we didn’t hesitate to seek counsel from Michael and had him arrange the documents for us. Thru the years, we have sought his expertise, knowing he would always have our best interest, present us with all possibilities and guidance into whatever matters were asked.

Michael McCallum represented me in a very difficult time in my life. His professionalism, compassion, and dedication to my case afforded me the opportunity to defend myself against a very powerful government entity. Because of his tireless advocacy, I came out of this dilemma with a very agreeable and fair settlement.

Mike also helped guide me in developing a positive estate planning plan. I highly recommend Michael McCallum as a attorney and a person.

“In addition to being the best family law lawyer in Northern California, Mike is always the voice of reason during difficult times. Mike helps his clients maintain their dignity and self-respect while acting as a sound and qualified advocate for his clients. When I think of Mike I think of integrity, professionalism and a commitment to maintaining the family core throughout the legal process. In other words, I m glad Mike was on my side!”

Honestly, it’s difficult to think of positive things to say about your divorce attorney; Mr. McCallum has been my family law attorney now for over 6 years. 6 years, that’s how long that he’s been willing to put up with me and my ex. When I first went to meet with Mr. McCallum, I had false felony accusations against me, and let him know that this would be one of the toughest cases that he would have to deal with in his career (I think we’re in the top 5 now). Through every stage of this painful family law process, he has stood by me, represented me, but even more, advised me to do things that I really did not want to do. Divorce is painful. Often, one wants to do things exclusively out of spite. But he stood by what was right, and what was what was in mine and my children’s best interest. I told him many times that I’d rather give him my money, just so my ex would have to spend more of hers to her attorney; but he would not let me. He talked me down, and convinced me to do what was right, regardless of my emotions. When it comes to my children, he helped me recover them from the false accusations. I have had joint custody of my children for the majority of that time, all thanks to how Mr. McCallum handled our case. I feel that thanks to him and his skills, I now have a healthy relationship with my children.
