Quality representation

Like a lot of people going through this stressful situation I had a lot of anxiety producing questions and nobody to lend a hand. I found an on-line referral service and they sent me David's firm. He called me within a couple of hours. He was empathetic, honest and caring. He listed patiently whi...le I rambled my background story. He then shared the legal options with me in a professional and straightforward manner. He gave me clear information on the likelihood of success if I opted for more expensive solutions. I really appreciate his time and effort. It shows that he is a quality professional and the team you want in your corner.

Efficient, Knowledgeable, and Amazing!

I am extremely proud to share my positive experience about the firm of Callahan, Barraco & Inman, P.C. I was in need of legal representation to guide me through the process of getting a divorce. I was very pleased with the help I received. David Callahan and Peter Delano are very professional, compa...ssionate, extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of divorce cases, went above and beyond to keep me informed about what to expect every step of the way, and fought and succeeded in getting a favorable result in my case. Throughout the process, I always felt confident, because I knew that I was being represented by the very best! I highly recommend the firm of Callahan, Barraco & Inman, P.C. The efforts, attention to detail, and genuine kindness of David Callahan and his firm have made it possible for me to go into this new chapter of my life with hope, gratitude, serenity, peace of mind, and wisdom.

If you want a stressful, emotional time to be as smooth and uneventful as possible, hire Attorney Callahan!

After meeting with several attorneys and a mediator, I was convinced the divorce process was going to be one in which I was just a number shuffled along through the legal process. A friend recommended Attorney Callahan and I decided to give it one more try. I was skeptical and dealing with a narc...issistic controlling ex. Upon meeting Attorney Callahan, I was put to ease. He has a very calm demeanor and was able to answer every question I had. He sat and listened to everything I had to say and was able to quickly put my mind to rest. He thoroughly explained every step of the process. Attorney Callahan was and still is to this day extremely accessible. I understand he has a family of his own and I have texted or emailed at off times and he is always quick to respond. He treated my case as if it was important to him and that meant the world to me. At a time with emotions high and lacking knowledge of the legal system, it is scary to trust another to handle your future. I can say 1000000% I felt extremely safe and secure with Attorney Callahan and highly, highly recommend him. I would not have had the same outcome had I hired a different Attorney or tried to navigate on my own. Something that stood out to me was his ability to advise what was best for me in my individual situation. Using his legal expertise to offer the best solution to any arising issues I had. He could have easily dragged the case along and taken advantage but he was beyond ethical. I wanted to do certain things along the way and he was quick to let me know that while he will do whatever I desire, it was in my best interest to take a step back and see the cost of certain steps vs their outcome. Was it worth spending excessive legal fees to get to the same resolution. He is honest and earned my trust. Having Attorney Callahan be the mediator in dealing with my ex was priceless! When times got trying he was able to step in and find resolution. I still to this day am amazed at the outcome of the agreement and his ability to negotiate. His court presence is strong and every hearing has been successful for me. Attorney Callahan gives back to his community as well and has helped struggling single moms during the holidays and Mother’s Day.

Professional and Impressive

Attorney Callahan provided legal counsel for an emotionally/charged change in circumstances dispute. Not only was his professional expertise most impressive, but his ability to understand the issues at hand resulted in agreement without a trial. His attention to detail and knowledge of the Worcester... Courts and family law is unparalleled. At all times, I felt that he had the best interest of my family and especially my children at the forefront. Brilliant, calming and level headed all come to mind when describing his attributes. It has been a pleasure!

The best of the best!

Dave has been one of my family's attorney's for the last 2 years now. We've unfortunately needed reoccurring representation for a child custody matter involving my brother and the mother of his child. My brother had split from the mother of his child after several years of physical and mental abuse,... and despite the overwhelming evidence, it was an uphill battle for him since day one to obtain primary care and custody of his daughter. The courts are partial to single fathers for reasons i'll never understand, and even with all the evidence we had against the mother, it was clear that this was not going to be a slam dunk case. It was also clear who the unfit parent was, but unfortunately, reality doesn't always play out in the court room. Needless to say, Dave was there for us when the time came two years ago when we needed a good lawyer with a steadfast approach. We were skeptical at first, because in my eyes there isn't anyone "good enough" to represent my brother in what would soon be the worst and most pivotal years of his life. But Dave has a confidence and trust about him that was missing in so many other lawyers we had met with. I had never felt so at peace with a decision as I had the day we signed up with Dave and his team. Throughout this entire process we had met with 3 other lawyers who fell well below the realm of satisfactory results. Looking back now I am so happy that those other sub par lawyers didnt make the cut because I cant imagine having to go through what my family went through with anybody else representing us besides Dave. There were days when I thought we weren't going to come out of this alive. Our whole world revolves around this one little girl who any of us would die to protect. And Dave got that. He put himself in our shoes and empathized with our situation because he is a real human being. He didnt choose this career with the sole purpose to make a lot of money and grow his own firm, he genuinely cares about helping people. And that human element is whats missing in so many other ill-intentioned attorneys. Dave was attentive to our case and always knew what was going on even if he wasn't in the courtroom. He was responsive to all our calls, emails and texts and never made us feel as though we were burdening him unnecessarily. That is something I have come to realize is hard to find in many lawyers. Overall Dave's professionalism, knowledge regarding so many different types of law, down to earth demeanor and kind spirit is what sets him apart. My family and I went through a lot these past two years. A series of events that I hope no other family ever has to deal with. But if you do, its Dave Callahan who you'd want in your corner. Dave is and always will be mine and my family's lawyer of choice!
