Art Kallow worked on a case for me and I can truly say he is one of the best lawyers I have seen. He fought hard in court and I was thrilled with the outcome of the case. There are some lawyers that just seem to have a gift for creating strategy and asking the right questions. Mr. Kallow is one of these lawyers. He is an "old school" hard nosed litigator that does not rest until his clients win. Trust me these attorneys are hard to come by! I've also recommended Mr. Kallow to friends and family and will continue to do so.

About a month and a half after the birth of my daughter that was born out of wedlock... I was served an order of protection. I was lost and had no idea how to A) do what's best for my child and B) protect my rights as father. So I contacted the offices of Jeffery M Leving. In short, attorney's Arthur Kallow & Andrew Muchoney listened to my case, guided me through the process, were readily available and have been emapathetic, honest and full of integrity. Throughout this extremely emotional process, Mr. Kallow and Mr. Muchoney, have shown an amazing understanding of family law and have fought for for my rights and my child's best interest all while allowing me to regain my focus on being a dad to my daughter. There is no better feeling for a dad than holding & hugging your daughter for the first time after the scare I went through. Thank you Mr. Kallow & Mr. Muchoney for fighting for my Father's rights!

I was referred to the office of Jeffery M. Leving to assist me with visitation of my grand children after my son's passing, as grandparents we have very little rights but thanks to Art Kallow not only did we received weekly visitation, I can travel with my grandchildren, have them on holidays, birthdays and a month long during the summer months; I was very happy with the outcome and very Thankful to Mr. Kallow for helping us with our case.

I had a very complicated custody case and after trying two different firms finally decided to hire an expert. Art Kallow fought for me and was successful in getting me the result I wanted. My two sons are now living with me and are safe thanks to Mr. Kallows effort. This firm has many lawyers and they all specialize in family law. I can only speak to my experience with Mr. Kallow and say he was exceptional. Professional, returned my calls and he really cared.

I hired Art Kallow at the Law Offices of Jeffery Leving two years ago after my previous attorney botched my case. It was apparant from the onset that attorney Kallow knew what he was doing. He was confident, kind, and prepared. He told me stories of other cases similar to mine that he had successfully tried over the years. Within a short period of time my case was back on track and Mr. Kallow was able to get me custody of my son. I could not thank him enough. I don't usually write reviews but with Mr Kallow I saw this as a small opportunity to thank him for a job well done. Thanks Art Kallow!

Hired Mr. Kallow and presented all data to him. He then turned that data into useful information which was utilized to ultimately win my court case in regards to child support back pay of 14 years. Mr. Kallow will try his best to work with you regarding fees billed and will revisit the invoices if you have any issues. The office was diligent and very proactive in anticipating court room obstacles... Thanks for everything...
