Click to report rating    8/24/21   2     1     1     1     1   This woman destroys any potential remedy by her sparky, sarcastic and judgemental communications. I am a drug testing professional and a litigation manager specializing in divorce strategy and contract strategy management in Utah. I have dealt with hundreds of attorneys accross the US, having built one of the largest networks of collection attorneys for one of the largest collection agencies in the US in the 80s. Gloria is quite possibly the most rude, effusive and nasty attorneys I have encountered in my 45+ year career in business and legal persuits. If you're looking to spend a lot of money for what most good lawyers would do for 1/2 the time and cost. RID: 230225

 7/11/17   1     1     1     1     1   Gloria Cales was representing my ex husband who was a police officer at the time. She charged him $12,000.00 to represent him when I only had to pay my attorney $5,000.00 . My ex was not happy after everything was settled and he didn't get anything he wanted. She was also very rude to me even though I was pregnant at the time and going through an unfortunate and sad experience. She stated right in front of my pregnant self as we walked into court, "I just love divorce! It keeps me in business." Rude, expensive and unprofessional. RID: 187454
Click to report rating    6/11/17   5     5     5     5     5   This Sucks! Is how I would classify my entire divorce process. None of it is fun but Gloria and her staff are top notch. Gloria is very educated and experienced at navigating her clients through this awful process. If you are a public safety employee I would HIGHLY recommend Gloria and her staff. Gloria will ensure you are as well protected as possible in your future. Gloria has the highest of integrity, will not play games and will be as straight forward and honest as a person as you will find anywhere. Lawyers get a bad rap at times but I can honesty say, Gloria is a good person who just happens to be a lawyer. Not a combination you often find in a lawyer. RID: 186050

 3/8/17   5     5     5     5     5   Not only is Gloria the finest attorney I have ever known, she is also a person of wit, intelligence, and integrity. I have used her services myself and have confidently referred her countless times to my clients who all report extremely high satisfaction. They rate her a 10 on everything. She was quick to communicate updates on my case and her staff was very helpful. RID: 181699
Click to report rating    1/24/17   5     5     5     5     5   Gloria Cales has made me realize that no matter how much garbage is thrown your way, you can make it out on top. I wanted to be as amicable as I could through this entire divorce process and Gloria helped me accomplish that goal. We were able to come to a speedy conclusion without much fight. I would recommend her to anyone. I love the no fluff, real attitude she possess. I can not thank her enough for all of her help. The reason for my ratings are endless. She is knowledgeable, blunt(which I appreciate), mixed with her personality...things get accomplished. As I stated previously, I would recommend her to anyone. RID: 179575
Click to report rating    10/20/16   5     4     5     5     5   Gloria is a wonderful attorney and puts your mind at ease even when it feels you are losing. Gloria said once "get worried when I look worried." She was right, even when I got worried she would say don't sweat it,he is just mudding the waters. My case was years in the making of a difficult divorce with child custody issues. You may not get an answer right away and feel like you are doing lots of work.But after it is all done you did the work because you know your story best and you should do some of the work because only you can add the specifics. Gloria was highly prepared and made sure there was no overturning a Rule 69 agreement even when opposing council tried to add items. Gloria told me from the start what was going to happen and MANY months later finally it happened. Thanks to Gloria I have a great life and even better divorce. RID: 175822

 6/21/16   5     5     5     5     5   Gloria's knowledge and passion are what makes her a good attorney. I encourage anyone contemplating a divorce to at least have an interview with her, not only will they see how good she is but they will have a clear view on how the process works. I was always copied on all communications with the court and the opposing lawyer. Even while going through a knee replacement she was always there for every court date, she is a trooper. Her fee's are reasonable and a detailed invoice lets you know exactly what you are getting charged for. Her staff is excellent, friendly, well trained, and answered every question I called about. Awesome lady as well as an awesome attorney. RID: 170818

 3/24/16   5     5     5     5     5   I cannot speak more highly of an attorney than Gloria Cales!! She is strategically brilliant , and is a "bulldog" in court as well as depositions. She goes above and beyond to make sure that you win your case, and genuinely cares !! With Gloria on your side, you are well protected!! Thank you for restoring my faith in attorneys, Gloria!! You're the BEST!! RID: 167056

 3/1/16   5     5     5     5     5   Gloria came highly recommended and she didn't disappoint. She's a no-nonsense attorney that makes you focus on the practical side of the divorce instead of the emotional side. No game-playing and dragging out costs, either. Huge kudos to her office staff, too. First rate, easy to communicate with and they know how to get things done. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her! RID: 166054

 7/1/15   5     5     5     5     5   Gloria helped me work through my divorce and she made a difficult and emotional circumstance as easy as possible. She is very easy to talk to and communicates clearly with respect to advocating appropriately for her client. Her vast experience was clearly evident very early into our initial conversation. I would absolutely refer her to my friends and family. RID: 156213

 11/14/13   5     5     5     5     5   Gloria knows her stuff! She worked hard to make sure I knew what was happening and why and what my options were. She did not sugar coat ANYTHING - she will tell you how it is. But she is also not intimidated by anyone or anything. I'm so happy I had her in my corner. . . Thank you Gloria! RID: 127115

 9/17/13   5     5     5     5     5   Gloria was reccomended to me by someone that was on the other side of one of her cases. They said get her before your spouse does or you'll be sorry. So I did. My divorce was very simple but it was nice having the insurance of a well qualified and reputable person on my side if things went bad. She is a expert on matters involving public safety retirements and the lives they live. RID: 123631

 5/16/12   5     5     5     5     5   My experience with Gloria has been very positive. She is a great lawyer who is extremely knowledgeable about family law. She was up front and straight forward about any issues or concerns that I had and was able to recommend the best course of action to be taken. She is very persistent and extremely ETHICAL. Her staff is great. They would constantly keep me informed on any details concerning my case no matter how small the matter. They were also great on answering any questions in a timely manner. She is one of the best. RID: 70271

 2/10/12   5     5     5     5     5   First...and, foremost....disregard the negative comments re Gloria and her staff. Gloria, please accept this as authorization to give my cell number to anyone considering your representation. I can not, nor will I, try to say a "5" is what you get; with counsel you get what you pay for, and w Gloria you will “get” a 100 on a scale of 1-5. I have 2 cherubs that are my life, she understood all my concerns w my boys, my finances, was very professional, respectful, and…she even stayed late on a Friday to “calm me down” (truth be told it was more than 1 Friday I needed that…and yes, I was happy to pay for her time). It was by pure circumstance (and blind luck) that I was given Gloria’s number to call after a failed mediation attempt, and I recommend, unequivocally to anyone, her representation. You Rock! Gloria…Karen…thank you. L8RTW :) RID: 63610

Click to report rating    10/5/11   5     5     5     5     5   Gloria is FABULOUS! She couldn't have handled my divorce better! She was compassionate and supportive. She was aggressive and proactive. She was always mindful of and efficient with our time together and the time she put into my case so as to minimize my costs for legal fees. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!! RID: 52856
Click to report rating    10/2/11   5     5     5     5     5   I was very scared when my husband said he wanted a divorce after 17 years of marriage. Gloria helped me make it thru a very difficult process. I would recomend her to anyone. She explained the process step by stap and never made me feel dumb for not understanding. She would explain complicated issues in a way I could get. RID: 52677
Click to report rating    9/21/11   5     5     5     5     5   Gloria is the BEST!!! She is worth every penny. I would not be where i am without her representation and knowledge. Gloria knows the law like the back of her hand. She is straight forward and honest. Not to mention that her staff is absolutely great, professional and extremely helpful. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for. I would recommend Gloria to anyone going through a divorce. RID: 52088
Click to report rating    9/6/11   5     5     5     5     5   This woman saved my life and the lives of my children. I was unknowingly in an abusive marriage and she opened my eyes to reality and got me out of it and on my way to a new life. She may charge a higher hourly rate than other lawyers but worth every penny. I would recommend her to anyone needing a lawyer to shield you from the nightmare of a divorce. RID: 51363
Click to report rating    8/15/11   5     5     5     5     5   I would highly recommend Gloria to anyone going through a divorce. She is very well versed in the law and her experience with the system gives her a great insight. Her staff is wonderfully upbeat and helpfull. Her best quality is that she is very staight foward and honest. She was able to get me everything I wanted in the final settlement. As the saying goes "you get what you pay for" and she is worth every dime. RID: 50267
Click to report rating    7/20/11   1     1     1     1     1   She is a terrible PC she is never available to answer questions or handle a situation that may come up. Her prices are outrageous compared to more qualified lawyers/PC’s. Gloria Cales is the very last person I would refer someone to. RID: 48849
Click to report rating    6/1/11   5     5     5     5     5   Gloria was amazing, and the staff in her office was amazing too! The communication from the office was great, even when Gloria could not communicate with me herself. I recieved coorespondence from the office each time there was communication to/from my ex's attorney. She is very matter of fact in her approach, knows the law like the back of her hand, and does not bother to fight nasty like the ex's attorney did. She is able to get the job done without getting down to that level. Gloria and her office are understanding and patient while dealing with the emotions that come with a divorce and a child custody case,but give 'tough love' when needed. I do wish that the cost was a bit lower because it is always hard to part with a large amount of money when budgets are tight, but I completely realize that you get what you pay for. For the experience she has, and the time and effort she and the office puts forth, Gloria's price is NOT unreasonable. RID: 46530
Click to report rating    5/25/11   5     5     5     5     5   If I could give Gloria higher that a 5, I would. My marriage to an abusive wife was horrific. Gloria helped me to finally break free, get my divorce with as much dignity as possible and now I'm enjoying my new, stress free life. I can't recommend Gloria highly enough! RID: 46182

 5/4/11   5     5     5     5     5   Gloria Cales and her office are amazing! When going through a divorce, you feel lost, scared, and very emotional. Gloria and her office team are there to guide you through the process on a professional and personal level. I would highly recommend Gloria Cales to anyone. I see on some reviews people say she is over priced. I just got through a divorce with her and do not think she is over priced. You get what you pay for. Thank you Gloria! You are the best!

 3/29/11   5     5     5     5     5   Gloria is an exceptional, irreplaceable attorney. In the 4 1/2 years she served as my divorce attorney, Gloria was always extremely knowledgeable, professional, diligent, and compassionate. Foremost of importance to me were her unwavering stellar ethical and moral standards which persevered irregardless of how lacking those standards were in others. Many in the legal system, be they attorneys or Judges, could learn from Gloria on how to conduct themselves. Her legal fees were commensurate with others in her field and worth incurring in order to attain her level of skill and ability. I feel very fortunate to have had Gloria Cales as my attorney and highly recommend her to those seeking a divorce attorney. RID: 43345

Click to report rating    11/19/10   1     1     2     1     1   I would never recommend Gloria Cales. She wastes a lot of time (which she bills her clients for) She is very antagonistic and unprofessional towards attorneys and other profesionals involved in litigation. She doesn't even know what discovery means! She bleeds her clients dry all the while promising them a good result. The good result she talks about unfortunately only winds up in her bank account.She is really pretty unethical and takes advantage of gullible clients who probably need counseling much more than such a sleazy lawyer. RID: 37555
Click to report rating    11/15/10   5     5     5     5     5   Very dilligent in the pursuit of fair and equitable legal justice for the client. Treated like a friend by herself and office personnel. Would not hesitate to refer her services to any of my family or personal friends.My counseler did the right thing by suggesting her service to me, as he too was very pleased with the way she handled all aspects of the case.Today begins a new era in my life.

Click to report rating    10/24/10   5     5     5     5     5   Gloria helped my daughter with a difficult divorce.My daughter was so emotional that she was focused on the wrong issues for the wrong reasons. Gloria put her on the right track to prioritize the issues and deal with them one at a time. Gloria helped me do the same thing in my divorce twenty years ago. She is like a member of the family that we can turn to when we have a family law problem. Gloria is the best. RID: 36447

 5/11/10   5     5     5     5     5   I have had been a client of Gloria Cales since 2001. She has always been completely honest and looked out what was best for myself and children. I had a difficult/nasty divorce, and through the extremely hard and emotional times Gloria was very compasionate. I had complete confidence with her and knew she had my best interest at heart. Through the years she has become very close to my family going out of her way to see how we are doing. I would highly recommend her and trust her with any family matter or divorce. RID: 30160
Click to report rating    5/3/10   5     4     5     5     5   I hired Gloria from a list of recommendations from one of the top divorce lawyers in Tucson. To say I feel lucky to have found her is a significant understatement! She helped me through a very venomous and nasty proceeding. She is not inexpensive, but also worth every dollar. She is thorough, and throughout my proceedings had to correct opposing council on current family law! She also is witty, helping to ease my tension is some very tense situations. I would recommend Gloria without reservation. RID: 29884
Click to report rating    4/29/10   1     1     1     1     1   Gloria Cales is a terrible attorney and should be banned from the Bar Association. Sbe alone gives attorneys a bad name. She is overpriced, unethical and only cares about herself-not her client. The world would be better off without lawyers like this loser. RID: 29749
Click to report rating    2/13/10   5     5     5     5     5   Gloria was caring and compassionate when dealing with a very sensitive subject. She helped me with my divorce and child custody issues in a very timely manner. Her staff was so amazing at answering questions if Gloria was with a client and I was comforted each time I called. She had to go back and forth with my ex husbands lawyer a few times and I was always amazed at how quickly she responded back to me. It was nice to know that the entire office was all on the same page and all wonderful to deal with. I have recomended a few others to Gloria and have nothing except amazing ratings for her.

     2/10/10   5     5     5     5     5   I hired Gloria to help out with a child support reduction for my son who is incarcerated. She was so understanding and caring of his situation.

Click to report rating    2/9/10   5     5     5     5     5   When I decided to file for divorce I had several attorneys recommended to me. Having been married for 31 years I knew it was going to be an extremely hard fight. After doing my due diligence I decided that Gloria Cales was the attorney that would be able to handle my case. During the course of the divorce I found Gloria's knowledge of the law impressive. She was always very through and paid close attention to every detail. Gloria was at all times prepared with case law and facts for all phone status conferences with the Judge as well as dealing with my spouse's attorney. Whenever I had a question or concern Gloria was accessible either by office call, cell phone or email within a 24 hours or less turn around time. Gloria's tenacity to stay on top of the case gave me security in knowing that my interests were being taken care of with the division of assets. Gloria's fees were very reasonable and her staff very professional. I highly recommend Gloria Cales as an attorney. RID: 27036
Click to report rating    2/9/10   5     5     5     5     5   My divorce went as smoothly as it could possibly go, considering the circumstances. I feel her fees were reasonable for the work that had to be done and the settlement was very fair. There were children involved and she took a special interest to make sure the settlement and visitation was good for them. RID: 27006
Click to report rating    1/19/10   5     1     1     1     1   Gloria Cales is overpriced and does not respond back to her clients in an acceptable amount of time. She bills excessively and leads clients to believe they are not responsible for certain items, but when the court date finally arrives...(only because she has failed to negotiate prior to the trial date) she pushes her clients under the bus. I would NEVER recommend her. Additionally, she is the only attorney in the office and she has no back-up. She is frequently away for several weeks at a time for trips and when she is gone her clients are up a creek! RID: 26306
