SUPERB ATTORNEY!!!

When you find an excellent lawyer he had to originate as a magnificent person. Attorney Douglas J. Callahan has done an outstanding job with my case. The expert opinions, the legal advice, the research and his superb work ethics gives me hope in the midst of a mess and trash. I have been entangle in... legal matters for over a decade. I have seen and retained a few lawyers. As a current client, Attorney Callahan, I will stick and stay with you. Well done Sir.
