Great Criminal Lawyers!

Jeff and Paul have been exceptional lawyers for a very personal family matter. We needed expert criminal legal representation in Cook County, and Jeff and Paul were there with us every step of the way. They were very communicative, open, honest and transparent. And they care. You can tell rig...ht away when somebody cares and has empathy. But it goes beyond that. They know the cook county court system, the judges, the prosecutors, and they know the law. They are really smart! I highly recommend them if you or a loved one are in serious legal trouble. Hire well! You won't be disappointed!

Awesome Criminal Trial Lawyer

In August 2015, I was arrested and charged with domestic battery. Even though I never laid a finger on the complainant family member, I wound up with a 2-day stay in Cook County Jail and, after bailing out, I faced a potentially dire situation that could mean lost work, heavy fines or --much worse--... jail time. I was scared, desperate and since I had no history of legal problems, I didn't know where to turn. I did countless Web searches for the "best" criminal lawyer in the Chicago area and the firm of Robert Callahan kept coming up. After reading several reviews, I decided to call them. Boy am I glad I did. From the first phone call, Associate Jeff Marx put me at ease, telling me that he & his firm deal with these types of cases frequently and, after hearing the details of mine, assured me that they'd "take care of it." Two weeks later in the court room, Bob Callahan did just that. He immediately got my case dismissed and his firm is currently working on expunging my record. If I ever find myself in legal trouble again (and I certainly plan not to!), I will call Robert Callahan. I found him and his associates to be responsive to all my inquiries, attentive to my needs, and expert in all facets of my case and the legal system as a whole. Very impressed. And very grateful.

the best lawyer ever!

I hired robert callahan to handle my case 7/9/14. I went to court for a speeding ticket i was driving 27 over the limit. My case was a misdemeanor and i was looking at over a thousand dollars in fines and possibly 6 months of jail time. But thanks to robert all i have now very small fine i have to pa...y in a month.. he was very helpful he told the judge my situation and he got the judge to reduce my fine. He is good at what he does i recommend him to anyone looking for a good lawyer. He was the best.

Best Chicago Criminal Defense Attorney Around

I have had some experience with criminal defense attorneys in the past and I wish that I had found Attorney Callahan sooner. Me and my roommate spend the day drinking and watching football. We decided to go out and my roommate drove. We got pulled over, the cops arrested my roommate and searched m...e, there were enough drugs in the car that I was arrested and charged with a class x felony. I was looking for criminal defense attorneys in Chicago and I found Mr. Callahan online. I got in touch with him really quickly. I told him what happened and it seemed like Mr. Callahan started to handle it while we were still on the phone. He explained what could happen to me because of these charges but I felt like he was on top of it. I think all of his experience as an attorney working criminal defense in Chicago helped settle my nerves. I mean, he and his staff had answers to pretty much all of my questions. My case went to trial but Mr. Callahan really showed up and performed. I was found not guilty! I know it wasn't magic, he was just good. I needed serious help and this guy did it.

Chicago Criminal Defense Lawyer

I have used Chicago Criminal Defense Lawyer Mr. Callahan for myself and family 3 times. He can answer all your criminal legal questions in plain English. He even handles his own phone calls most of the time, so he is easy to get a hold of. I had the Chicago Police lie against me and accuse me of drug... possession. Mr. Callahan presented my criminal case to a judge who threw out the case at the first court appearance. Robert Callahan is a truly professional criminal lawyer who is good at what he does and not too expensive.‎
