Megan went above and beyond!! TRULY OUTSTANDING

This was my third DUI (plus a charge of Reckless and Failure to Obey) so I knew I was facing some pretty serious consequences. I met with Megan the week of the incident and she got the ball rolling immediately. She encouraged me to get into treatment right away and reassured me that we would get thro...ugh this together. I had confidence in her from the beginning and she never let me down. She was always available to me by cell or email and the excellent support staff in her office kept me on top of everything as well. I know my review should focus on her legal expertise (which was outstanding) but for me, the most important part was the sense of calm I had knowing that while I was taking care of myself in recovery, she had my back in EVERYTHING court-related and that was HUGE for me and my husband!! She was my voice and advocate to the prosecuting attorney and the judge. She got me released from random court UA’s because I was already having them done in treatment and it took me 3 buses to get to the courthouse. In addition to the police report, she did in-depth research including review of the 911 call and reviewing personnel files of the arresting officers. She found out what the Department of Licensing would require of me down the road and she outlined what options I had to serve my time. Ultimately, Megan got the Reckless thrown out and I was sentenced to 24 hrs. in jail and an $1,200 fine. Nobody could have asked for a better outcome. So if you’re reading this review because you’ve just gotten a DUI (or other criminal charges), I recommend two things: HIRE MEGAN POWERS (Dunn) because you won’t find a better attorney anywhere and GET SERIOUS about your drinking and be proactive in your recovery so that Megan has a credible client to work with.

Suspended License

My license was suspended in 2009 and I didn't even know it; when I happened to get pulled over. I was advised to get to a lawyer. I was scared not knowing what to expect. I searched on google and Megan's law office came up. I was asked some questions and was able to explain what happened, without be...ing judged. I was assigned to Megan, which was the best thing they could have done. I was scheduled for court the following week Wednesday; by Monday she had already spoken to the prosecutor. She had made a deal for me to get my tickets reduced and my license back. I am proud to say that I'm licensed, I only paid $136 total for 4 tickets; because of Megan. Thank you, for your help Megan.

Top notch Attorney

An unfortunate night forced me to frantically search for a law firm that could help me piece my life back together. After looking at a number of firms, overwhelming evidence pointed to Callahan Law as the best option. It was the best decision I could have made. Megan walked me through everything I ne...eded to do, and constantly reassured me by reminding me that everyone makes mistakes and that this one wouldn't define me. Megan and her team guided me through the entire process, step by step, and were always available when I had a question. When it was all said and done, Megan truly fought for me and helped give me the confidence I needed to start putting this incident behind me. I am extremely grateful and although I never plan to need Megan again, I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Very compassionate for what she does

Getting my first DUI was a very scary experience. I had no idea what to expect. Callahan law was the very first place I went to. I was very happy with the gentlemen that consulted me. Once I decided to go with Callahan law it was Megan who was assigned to my case. She was very easy to talk to and she... was a great listener. She was very thorough with me every step of the way with complete honesty. She answered all the questions that I had with patience and understanding. Just talking with Megan made me feel so much more comfortable about my case. I had a sense from the beginning that she was there for me, and she treated me like a human being. With her knowledge and confidence she was able to significantly reduce my conviction. Megan is truly a master of her craft.

Getting on with my life

I was stopped for speeding and was tested for DUI & arrested. Immediately I felt as though my life was going to be out if control & that I had screwed up big time. From the moment I sought advice from Callahan Law & eventually Megan Powers I was empowered by their words & confidence in handling my c...ase. Megan assured me multiple times that "hey, mistakes happen, but we want to get you back to your life & help put this behind you." And that's what she did. From the start Megan began deconstructing the entire stop beginning with the reason (speeding was never mentioned in the report) and when I showed up for court the prosecutinh atty was already lowering my charge. Toni also followed up with me on my license situation as Megan said she would even up to alerting me when I was eligible to reinstate, so I didn't feel like just another "case". I even received a summons for a document the court said they didn't have that Toni had sent in months ago & within minutes, that was resolved & I was taken off the calendar to appear. Just complete, all around real good folks & quite a competent team. I'm glad I chose them to handle my case & im glad Megan helped me keep control of my life. Although I do not plan on using them again, I will ALWAYS recommend them if I'm ever asked for an attorney to handle DUI. Thanks again!
