Michael F Callahan

I have been in business for twelve years and wrote several hundred contracts and I never seen or witnessed such a talented individual in several minutes negotiate and hand write a settlement agreement with many complexities. I felt Mike hit a home run right out of the ball park, and upon him intervie...wing me, I can tell he was very comprehensive in his thought process, I would certainly recommend him to anyone, he is a excellent divorce attorney.

Mike Callahan acted on my behalf for nearly 5 years in assisting me with a protracted divorce. He was very patient and professional, yet persistent in ensuring I made sensible choices in the proceedings. He is very knowledgeable based on many years of experience and has access to other peer colleagu...es and resources when necessary. Mike is a pleasure to work with and I would recommend him highly.

In 2007, after forty-three years of marriage, I found myself in a contentious divorce battle that left my trust shattered and my emotional and physical health on the wane. I tried to amicably work with my former spouse and his attorney regarding an equitable separation of our assets, but that proved... futile as they contrived to eject me from my home of forty-one years and leave me destitute with a token distribution of assets. I knew that I needed a lawyer but finding one seemed nearly as arduous as the divorce itself. I met with several attorneys who seemed to froth at the mouth at the idea of engaging in a vicious divorce proceeding. However, I did not want to fight “fire with fire,” as I was often encouraged to do, if it would hazard my integrity and my personal convictions. I entered Mike Callahan’s office and immediately knew that he was the attorney I needed for my case. Within minutes of meeting him, I knew that he was brilliant, persistent, and passionate about justice and fairness without the “scorched earth” rhetoric of the previous attorneys I spoke with. His calm, stable demeanor put me at ease. He maintained this calm stability even through the questionable tactics and delays created by the attorney of my former spouse, but was relentless in his pursuit of what he claimed was rightfully mine. Do not be misled by his serene demeanor. He will fight to ensure that you receive a fair and just resolution. Mike Callahan makes you feel as if you are his only client and that a favorable outcome of your case is a personal goal of his. He does this with compassion, professionalism, and constant communication. He responded to emails and phone calls efficiently, always made me aware of my options, and offered wise counsel when discussing a course of action. In the end, in spite of what previous attorneys stated, I received all the assets to which I was rightfully entitled. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and my interactions with Mike Callahan. I definitely recommend his services.

Mike Callahan is without doubt the most intelligent attorney I have ever engaged. Nine years ago, after about 30 years of marriage to a very wealthy and prominent Washington attorney, my husband walked out of that marriage suddenly, much to the shock and horror to me and our children. I hired three v...ery well known prominent Washington lawyers one by one. Not one of them was able to handle the vicious legendary lawyer that my now ex husband had hired. Five years after the divorce was final., there was a huge open whole in the settlement., I had been completely stripped of all my assets and in total despair. Michael Callahan was the only attorney that was intelligent and capable of dealing with the issues that I faced. He never gives up on his clients, He will not be bullied by his clients adversaries. He can see what is coming and predict the next play six moves ahead like a cunning chess player. In your your initial meeting with him he may appear quiet and reserved. This is the sound of a brilliant mind processing the whole picture. Divorces like mine are arduous and painful. Mike is as able to process his client's feeling better than any domestic lawyer I have encountered.He never loses his cool and perseveres without hinderance. I only wish I had known about him when this whole thing came down nine years ago. He closed this case and left me with my dignity and a fair and stable settlement, something none else was able to do.. I am finally able to move on in my life. I could not recommend any domestic attorney more than Mike Callahan. You will be well protected, informed ,and yes even happy with the outcome. He can slay the worst of dragons and remain a constant gentleman throughout your ordeal.
