Looking for an extremely competent, caring, & dedicated lawyer? You search has ended.

I have known Mr. McCallister professionally for approximately 20 years. During that time Mr. McCallister has done work for me in multiple disciplines of law. His expertise ranges from matters such as personal injury, wrongful death cases, and he also handles divorces. In my opinion, where Mr. McCa...llister shows his legal expertise is in products liability and civil/criminal defense. Mr. McCallister is a meticulous and gifted trial lawyer. More importantly, Mr. McCallister cares about each individual client. You are not just another number at a big law firm. He makes himself available to you, and does not push you off on a junior staffer should you have a question or concerns. If I am ever in need of legal services again, I would not hesitate to make Mr. McCallister my first call. He is definitely at the top of his profession in the region. If you are reading this you probably are looking for a lawyer. I'm sorry if life is upside down for you right now. If you want to take the first step to making things right, set up a meeting with Mr. McCallister and I assure you that you will be glad you did.

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.
