Habitat for Humanity of Morgan County owes much to Calvin McBride. Calvin's continuous support of our organization, our mission, and our families has directly affected our success. For the past ten years Habitat has built homes for families living in substandard conditions. During that time Calvin has served on our Board of Directors, he has taught our Homeowner Education classes on Legal Affairs and he has served as our pro-bono lawyer for our mortgage closings.

Although Calvin is one of our community's most successful lawyers, he is never too busy to find answers to our legal dilemmas or the legal concerns of any of our 33 habitat homeowners. Though we have yet to pay for any legal fees, we have always been treated with the utmost respect and sincerity. Our many questions and concerns are answered in a timely and courteous manner. But more importantly, our homeowners share a deep and abiding faith in Calvin McBride as someone who can be trusted in a world where they have learned to trust no one.

I have had a personal and business relationship with Calvin McBride since 1970.  He did the majority of my legal work during my 20 years in the homebuilding business and he now advises me on matters pertaining to my current business activities.  We have been close friends since our teenage years.

I have also been a party to transactions where other attorneys were involved and I can say without question that Calvin’s legal work is at the top of the scale.  He is very meticulous and his legal knowledge, especially in the area of real estate transactions, is extensive.  However, unlike most attorneys, if he does not know the answer to a question he will tell you that he doesn’t know or that he will research the question or that you need to consult a specialist in that area.  He does not blow smoke.

Calvin is a person of strong character and high ethics.  His spiritual and family life are at the top of his list.  He is a man you can count on and place your trust in.  Your legal interests would be well represented by Calvin.  I can without hesitation give him my highest recommendation.
