I reached out to Calkins Law Firm in a pinch to review a home purchase agreement, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Ben Calkins promptly returned my call and personally reviewed the agreement the same day, helping me turn it around in time. The entire Calkins team was professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. I will absolutely be reaching out to them again for any legal needs they can assist with. Highly recommend!

After decades of searching for competent and personalized legal help, what a blessing it’s been to find Ben Calkins and his team. I finally know what it means to “have” a lawyer!

Ben’s remarkable ability to keep apprised of your case makes you feel like you’re his only client. Talk about personalized attention! Ben fully engages with his team to use ALL his resources to assist YOU. And all this without charging so much that small businesses like mine can’t afford to be represented.

I wanted to get a trademark on a logo for a class that was tricky to do considering my product. I tried myself but failed. Then I engaged Calkins Law Firm and they provided a trademark attorney that advised me on how to go about it. I took the advice and that got me the trademark for my logo. I couldn't be happier. It really is worthwhile to engage a very expert and qualified firm to help you get what you need.

Calkins Law was extremely helpful in dissecting a legal contract issue I had with a private company for which I was an investor. Ben is diligent and thorough, easy to contact, and very knowledgeable. He genuinely cares about his clients. His firm was vital to me understanding my situation, outlining what steps should be taken next, and what future expectations I should have moving forward. You will not regret working with Calkins Law!

I have been working with the Calkins Law firm for several months now and under their direction, I have been able to avoid lengthy and expensive litigation. Their suggestions and legal drafts to a company that had left paid work in an incomplete and disastrous form, have compelled this company to complete and honor their contracts with me. They have maintained contact, and have overseen this process which has been tedious and time-consuming. Their pricing has been fair, and has prevented longer and stressful court costs and battles. Thank you to Ben Calkins and Laura Siddiq who have been very attentive to my situation. I recommend their legal advice and services.

Ben has consistently provided me sound business law counsel, as well as counsel outside of his traditional area of practice. He is quick to respond, candid, and above all insightful as it pertains to operating agreements, legal contracts, and complex deals. Down to earth and folksy – one couldn't ask for a better legal partner.
