Since 1992, Attorney Linda M. Callahan has fought to safeguard the futures of those who have been accused of driving under the influence.

Prior to founding Callahan Law, P.S., Inc., Attorney Callahan attended Hawaii Pacific University where she earned her Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees. Following her years at Hawaii Pacific University, Attorney Callchan enrolled in the University of Notre Dame School of Law where she earned her Juris Doctorate in 1996, graduating cum laude. During her time in law school, she served as a Production Editor for the Notre Dame Journal of Law, Ethic and Public Policy. Since then, she has stood for the rights of those accused of crimes. Currently, Attorney Callahan is a member of the Washinton Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Washington Alliance of DUI Trial Lawyers, and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

I am writing this review to recognize Linda Callahan and her associates for their exceptional work on my personal injury claim.

I searched top lawyers near me and Linda Callahan popped up and I can’t tell you how happy I am that I chose to go with them!!!

Linda, and the entire Callahan Law team, were very professional and friendly throughout my entire court process. Linda walked me through everything that the police and prosecution would try to prove and what my best options were. Through her expertise, we managed to turn what could have been a Hit an...
"Linda Callahan is dynamite in a small package. Her clients know that Linda will always look for ways to win their DUI cases, and will fight all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary. Linda's natural ability to relate to people helps her in maintaining great client relations and in selecting juroes for trial. Her dedication to the practice has led to her authoring the Washington edition of my book, The DUI Book. Her text is the most readable of all my state co-authors, and a great asset for her clients. William C. Head Atlanta, GA"
"There are very few lawyers in this state who have had the kind of impact on the legal landscape that Linda has earned. She is relentless, brilliant and a paragon of virtue who stands tall among her peers. I can't recommend anyone more highly than Linda when it comes to handling DUI and related cases. She sets a new bar for what is already an active and stellar DUI Defense community, and I heartily endorse her work."
"I endorse this lawyer. Linda wrote the book on DUI defense. Literally. I have that book on my self and refer to it often. She is a leader in DUI defense and a skilled advocate for her clients."
"Linda is an aggressive advocate for her clients and truly believes in the presumption of innocence."
"Linda hardly needs an endorsement as her skills and work product are self explanatory. My first contact with Linda was approximately ten years ago when she worked the other side of a minor timber trespass/trespass dispute with me. I was impressed with her work long before I even knew of her tremendous abilities with DUI matters. Since that time I have "picked her brain" on difficult DUI matters several times and she remains a regular referral attorney for my more difficult DUI cases."
"Linda doggedly fought against the prosecutors and State Patrol Lab to get them to follow best practices. She was kind enough to reach out to the local public defenders and work together with them. If I have a tough issue with a DUI or Vehicular Homicide case, I always know I can count on Linda's help, her experience, and knowledge. I highly endorse her work."
"I endorse this Attorney Callahan as a valuable member of our profession and of this forum. Attorneys who participate in this forum are providing useful information for those in need and should be commended. Further, the type of information conveyed is in the true spirit of professionalism where information is provided to help those in need which is the underpinning of the legal profession. Often the users of this forum are given second opinions that expand on information or provide contradictory information. Providing information empowers the uninformed to go forward with confronting their legal problems. I recommend and endorse this attorney for all listed areas of practice in his profile."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Callahan is an outstanding attorney with an exceptional reputation. She is a strong and zealous advocate for her clients and a credit to the legal profession. I highly endorse her."
"As a fellow graduate of Gerry Spense's Trial Lawyer's College I can attest to Linda's dedication to the practice of DUI law. So many great things have been said about Linda and they are all true. She's an amazing attorney and a great human being. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who finds themselves with a DUI charge in Washington."
"I endorse this lawyer. She is extremely knowledgeable with DUI laws. Her DUI book is an excellent reference."
"Linda Callahan is a first rate DUI defender. She is smart, she is a hard worker, and most of all she is a fighter. Linda understands the law and science of DUI defense. She understand the courtroom and how to fight there. If you or a loved one have a DUI in Washington, I recommend Linda Callahan without reservation."
"Linda Callahan is one of the very best DUI defenders in America. She has taken the fight all the way to the Supreme Court of Washington, and won! Her intelligence, dedication and bravery led to hundreds of improperly-obtained breath-alcohol tests being thrown out as evidence, saving the freedom and driver's licenses of hundreds of Washingtonians. Linda is fearless, yet compassionate. Simply put, she's the best."
"Attorney Callahan enjoys a national reputation as a true champion of the accused citizen facing a DWI charge. Her persuasive skills and knowledge of the law make her a formidable adversarty to those who oppose her. Without hesitation Attorney Callahan is a lawyer you can trust to defend you."
"Having been a member of the National College for DUI Defense for over 10 years now, and as an annual attendee of two to three national DUI defense seminars, I have been privileged to get to know many of our nation's finest DUI defense attorneys. Linda Callahan is undoubtedly amongst this select group. Her reputation for professional excellence far exceeds the borders of Washington. Her reputation as a well trained, experienced, ultra talented yet deeply compassionate, DUI defense attorney is not only national but matched by very few. I proudly and loudly endorse Linda Callahan. The citizen accused could be in no better hands. Period. The fact that she is a dear friend is but a bonus."
"Linda Callahan has long been a bright light in fighting for driver's rights all over the state of Washington.She has led the fight to change crime lab policies for wrongly convicted clients.When asked by Thompson-West who should author the Washington book on DUI I had only Linda as the best and most logical person to endorse as I now also endorse her work today."
"Linda is a trial lawyer. She is a warrior and graduate from Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College. I know her to be an author and a DUI study-aholic. Linda's skills as a DUI attorney are superb. I have seen her at all the major DUI seminars across the nation, so I know she keeps up on all the cutting edge strategies to defend her clients. It is without hesitation that I endorse Linda."
