Absymal and disgusting moral practices

This law office should be ASHAMED of themselves. If they had any semblance of human decency, they wouldn't be able to look at themselves in the mirror after what they've allowed their son to get away with and how they've abused their power in his case! Adam Callaghan is a REPEAT animal abuser and has... a disgusting history of torturing and beating innocent and helpless animals. In his most recent case, his father (aka Christopher Callaghan) abused his power and network connections to get his son essentially off the hook and seal records (while in a previous court case with a different judge, his conviction was not sealed due to already existing previous offenses). If you're considering using this law office, please ask yourself - what sort of integrity and common decency could these people possibly have if they continue to abuse the system to let their deranged and mentally unstable son continue to terrorize animals, face zero consequences, and try to sweep it under the rug?! Absolutely appalling and disgusting excuse for a legal practice and I would rather spend my life in jail than ever support this family.

No better friend, no worse enemy

I hired Chris and his team (shout out to Franklin!). I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They helped me through the worst experience of my life (and I spent 4 years in Afghanistan). They went above and beyond for me. It wasn't just a job to them, they truly cared. The old saying goes that ..."In order for a settlement to be effective, both sides walk away disappointed".. well I wasn't. I hope I never need a lawyer again but if I do, I know who I'm calling.

An unlawful terrible man

This man ignores the law when he sees fit. This is unacceptable behavior for an attorney and he should be investigated immediately for obstruction of justice and abuse of power. Do not hire him. If you would like to know more search up “Adam Callaghan animal abuse” and you will see how his own son to...rtures and kills animals showing psychopathic tendencies and a complete lack of morals and empathy. Attorney Callaghan abused his and his wife’s power to make sure their son got minimal charges. If he cannot be trusted to follow the law in this instance then why would he not abuse his power in other cases as well? This man needs to have his license revoked.

You shouldn’t have a license

We all saw the video of your son.. you should be ashamed of yourself. I hope someone does the same to you and your son. You deserve the worst life possible! I hope you both feel the pain he has inflicted on those animals!!!

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.
