Attentive and responsive.

Laura has been amazing helping me deal with a contempt case against my ex. She responds quickly to my questions and seems to understand my concerns. Thank you so much. Would definitely recommend.

The Best

Divorce is not easy. Working with Laura however made this daunting task a stress free one. She was able to help me even though I was residing outside of Florida. She was strong, persistent, and fought for what I wanted. I would have been taken advantage if I did not have Ms. Callahan representing me.... I would highly recommend her to anyone in the Jacksonville area!

Laura saved my kids

My occupation has me out of the USA 180 days/year. Laura and I worked very hard together. We put the children first. Divorce is not good but Laura gave us her best and achieved more than I could have hoped for. Laura was my Attorney but I felt like she was/is my best friend.

Very professional and determined

Mrs. Callahan helped me obtain Child Support from an absent father in a different state. These cases can be challenging but Mrs. Callahan used her resources and knowledge to get it done. She is very professional yet also personable and is always there to answer any questions.

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.
