Michael Namtalla Kalil - Profile on NY Lawyer Dictionary

With over 3 decades of legal experience, my practice primarily concentrates on family law matters such as divorce, child custody, spousal support, and adoption. Recently, I obtained certification in mediation, enabling me to provide comprehensive mediation services to couples seeking to resolve their divorce or custody disputes amicably. I am committed to maintaining transparency and setting realistic expectations for my clients, ensuring they understand the potential outcomes if their case goes to court. While I vigorously advocate for my clients' objectives, I also emphasize the importance of recognizing when certain goals may be unattainable. In my view, the essence of divorce and custody proceedings lies in finding equitable solutions for families and promoting an environment where children can maintain relationships with both parents. I believe that conflict resolution should take precedence over unnecessary litigation, as it only leads to escalated costs and prolonged distress within the family unit.
