Attorney Callahan provided excellent advice

I was able to quickly file a motion within 3 days of the statute of limitation expiration date. I was only able to do so by using this website and the exceptional detailed response, guidance and advice that Attorney Callahan provided. It was very kind of him. I feel he went above and beyond.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
