One divorce matter involved a person in the United States on a work visa whose spouse lived in a foreign country. The most significant challenge was getting personal service on the spouse. This was accomplished by contracting with a law firm in his country and having them serve him and provide the proof of service.

Another matter involved a client who was about to lose his home for non-payment of taxes. We arranged a mortgage on the property which allowed him to pay the delinquent taxes; assisted him in interviewing and choosing investment specialists to invest the remaining funds and provide him with a monthly stipend for his expenses and mortgage, tax and insurance payments until he can qualify for a reverse mortgage or other financial vehicle when he reaches the appropriate age. We also prepared his will, financial power of attorney and health directive and providing continuing assistance to him as needed.

The firm was established November of 2004 and the first case was an environmental case involving termite infestation and treatment issues. Since then, we have handled contested and uncontested divorces, developed wills, financial powers of attorney and health care directives and become counsel for a small business.

The focus of Calloway LLC Legal Services is to provide the best legal representation at reasonable cost.

• Directed government agency and program operational reviews and made recommendations for improvement, as well as whether they might be privatized, eliminated or modified;
• Provided leadership for settlements and administrative litigation and served as a resource person to attorneys and technical staff concerning investigation and litigation strategy and implementation;
• Provided strategic planning, business process re-engineering, policy and procedure development, office management, risk management, emergency preparedness, and training to clients which improved operations;
• Developed performance standards for government agency directors;
