Linda Medeiros Callahan's Reviews

Truly a professional law firm. No question went unanswer. Marisa in fthe front office is outstanding. Linda is an exemplary lawyer. The first thing she did was get a change of venue from district court to municipal court. Linda got me a one year continuance which will reduce my DUI to recless driving. My DOL hearling Linda got an order of dismisall, because the evidence was insufficient to support all the issues.

After searching online through numerous attorney websites, I came across a website with a video clip, so I watched. Linda's video prompted my calling them and once on the phone it was all down hill from there. Linda was very patient and was a great person that listened and was VERY empathetic with how I was feeling and why. After my first face to face meeting with my attorney, I had all the confidence in the world that they were going to fight tooth and nail for me. Which he did and I was granted a 2 yr continuance.

These attorneys are very had working, they know their stuff and will make your case their commitment , rather than just another case. They are very personable and really excel in their performance and follow through, even Marisa surprised me when I called a few weeks ago to check on my court stuff as the end of my 2 rs was coming up and she remembered who I was. These guys are all top notch and if you want REAL help with your situation, I would highly suggest looking into Callahan Law. They my not be the least expensive firm out there, but by god, you will definitely be glad that you have them on your side.

I wish them all the best and am sorry to say that I hope I never have to work with them again, because this Law Firm was probably the best customer service experience in my life, yet I do not wish to experience another legal matter in order to get the same level of service again.

**All thumbs up to Callahan Law**

Linda and her staff (esp Marisa!) did a great job, both in the courts and with the DOL. My charge was reduced to reckless driving, and DOL gave me back my license. I was very happy with the entire experience... well, maybe "happy" is not the right word under the circumstances, but Linda's handling of the legal aspects of the situation was outstanding. Highly recommended!

Of course, no one wants to go through this experience, unfortunately we all make mistakes and sometimes they result in needing an attorney. I chose Linda from a recommendation from an acquaintance who was in the process of using her. My first glowing comment is for Linda's office staff, all of them were very helpful, and answered all of my questions on that first phone call. My second compliment is for Marisa who I believe is the office manager; I must have called or emailed her at least a couple of dozen times with questions or concerns and she was very patient and kind and was always willing to take the time to help me. Linda her self is a presence in the courtroom, she walked in and I thought "okay, I have the right attorney and the best one here". You can tell she is very confident in what she is doing which in turn of course makes you feel much more comfortable. Essentially she 'got me out of' the entire thing. She reduced my DUI to reckless driving with some fines, but the most important part that impressed me the most was her work with the DOL. When you get a DUI it is standard to lose your license for a short period of time and following the return of your license you will have to get SR-22 insurance which costs a bundle. Everyone told me, and I was fully ready to lose my license when one day I recieved a call from Linda herself telling me that was not the case- SHE HAD COMPLETELY GOTTEN ME OFF THE DOL PORTION OF THE DUI. In fact that day I got home and receieved a letter from the DOL that stating something to the effect that 'the officer was found to have insufficient evidence to have arrested me for a DUI'. What wonderful news and all because of the Callhan Law team. I would always recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in this situation, you will be very happy with the outcome-with a communicative and professional team like the Callahan Law team who wouldn't be?

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you all very much for everything. I appreciate all that you did and the time that you took on my case. I couldn't be happier on the outcome of it all. I can't begin to thank you enough. Now I feel like I will soon be able to move on and put this all behind me. You all have been so kind to me during this past year. Thank you all again.

Great staff. Very understanding, supportive and informative. Linda is the best attorney I have ever seen in court. The preperation and knowledge is unmatched. For my first and last criminal charge I couldn't have expected a better result.

Thank you Callahan Law

The county I live in is known as the toughest on DUIs in the state, and perhaps the country. The Prosecuting Attorney ardently refused to consider another course of action regarding my case and would not consider plea barging. Linda’s investigatory and administrative staff went to work on my case immediately. The investigators were unbelievably meticulous. They interviewed the arresting officer and analyzed every aspect of the case.

Linda submitted the legal brief and waited. On the day of the trial, the prosecutor requested a meeting, and agreed to reduced the charge from DUI to negligent driving. The judge hearing the case remarked that the legal brief was masterfully written.

Linda and staff provide impeccable legal service.

I would like to express my appreciation towards Linda Callahan who represented me on my recent criminal charge. I arrived to court and observed several attorneys with their clients approach the bench and appear slightly confused and disorganized about their cases. The judge rolled her eyes several times at the lack of professionalism. The scared looks on their client's faces showed me they also noticed their attorney's lack in professionalism.

When my case was called, Linda had already conferred with the prosecutor and approached the bench with factual statements that expedited my case professionally, quickly and expertly. I felt very relieved that I was represented by such a strong court presence. Seeing other attorneys handle their cases made me extremely grateful that I was represented by Linda. Not to mention she got my criminal charges dismissed and reduced to an infraction.

Linda Callahan and her staff Marisa and Allison represented me on a DUI case with unbelievable results. Linda is a straight shooter and never sugar coated or misled me in any way. I could instantly see that her presence in the courtroom is highly respected. Her well-educated arguments came from every angle imaginable, which helped me win my DUI case. She also represented me in my DOL hearing and won that case too. I was more than relieved to keep my drivers license.
Linda's fees were MORE than reasonable. Personally, I think her fees should be far greater.

Initially my thoughts were jail time, license suspension and outrageous fines all leading to the loss of my career. As I nervously voiced these concerns to Linda's staff they gave me the reassurance that things will be ok in a very pleasant and professional manner. I quickly began to calm down and think more clearly about my case and the journey ahead. Marisa and Allison are very knowledgeable in their field and handled everything I needed outside the courtroom quickly and precisely.

On a side note: During my final court appearance, I truly felt sorry for the defendants that were called before me that were represented by court appointed attorneys and unprofessionally dressed attorneys. Some with first time offenses similar to mine taking plea bargains with huge fines, mandatory jail time and vehicle interlock devices, but that didn’t stop me from walking out with the biggest smile on my face after winning my case, thanks to Linda!

If your looking for a top-notch attorney that keeps up with the most current issues in DUI defense I highly recommend Linda Callahan and her staff.

I retained Linda and her staff last year for a DUI. I cannot tell you that the concern, dedication and overall professionalism exhibited by Linda and her staff will not be forgotten. She literally saved my career and helped me through one of the toughest times of mine and my family's life. I am grateful for Linda and would recommend her to anyone that has to go through this ordeal. She is a superstar!

At a pretty low point in my life about six months ago, I had the good fortune to retain Linda Callahan to defend me on DUI charges. Throughout the process, she and her staff expained the steps, assessed the likely outcomes, and kept me fully informed of developments, deadlines, and appearance dates. Best of all, she obtained for me an excellent result that has kept my driving privileges intact, and the overall costs manageable. Defending oneself against a DUI charge is a pretty miserable experience, but Linda and her staff made the process, if not pleasant, at least survivable.

After much research I retained Ms. Callahan, and I could not be more thankful that I did. I found Ms. Callahan and her staff to be pleasant, helpful, accommodating, sympathetic, and understanding. I was ashamed, embarrassed, scared, and worried. Through the process, I truly felt that Ms. Callahan and her staff were there for me. Ms. Callahan and her staff helped me through the worst experience of my life.

Linda and her team of professionals are extremely knowledgable of DUI laws and process. I would highly recommend retaining Callahan Law should you become accused of a DUI in the State of Washington.
