Fantastic DUI Trial Lawyer

Linda Callahan and her staff Marisa and Allison represented me on a DUI case with unbelievable results. Linda is a straight shooter and never sugar coated or misled me in any way. I could instantly see that her presence in the courtroom is highly respected. Her well-educated arguments came from every... angle imaginable, which helped me win my DUI case. She also represented me in my DOL hearing and won that case too. I was more than relieved to keep my drivers license. Linda's fees were MORE than reasonable. Personally, I think her fees should be far greater. Initially my thoughts were jail time, license suspension and outrageous fines all leading to the loss of my career. As I nervously voiced these concerns to Linda's staff they gave me the reassurance that things will be ok in a very pleasant and professional manner. I quickly began to calm down and think more clearly about my case and the journey ahead. Marisa and Allison are very knowledgeable in their field and handled everything I needed outside the courtroom quickly and precisely. On a side note: During my final court appearance, I truly felt sorry for the defendants that were called before me that were represented by court appointed attorneys and unprofessionally dressed attorneys. Some with first time offenses similar to mine taking plea bargains with huge fines, mandatory jail time and vehicle interlock devices, but that didn’t stop me from walking out with the biggest smile on my face after winning my case, thanks to Linda! If your looking for a top-notch attorney that keeps up with the most current issues in DUI defense I highly recommend Linda Callahan and her staff.

Great Lawyer

The county I live in is known as the toughest on DUIs in the state, and perhaps the country. The Prosecuting Attorney ardently refused to consider another course of action regarding my case and would not consider plea barging. Linda’s investigatory and administrative staff went to work on my cas...e immediately. The investigators were unbelievably meticulous. They interviewed the arresting officer and analyzed every aspect of the case. Linda submitted the legal brief and waited. On the day of the trial, the prosecutor requested a meeting, and agreed to reduced the charge from DUI to negligent driving. The judge hearing the case remarked that the legal brief was masterfully written. Linda and staff provide impeccable legal service.

Bittersweet Experience

Of course, no one wants to go through this experience, unfortunately we all make mistakes and sometimes they result in needing an attorney. I chose Linda from a recommendation from an acquaintance who was in the process of using her. My first glowing comment is for Linda's office staff, all of them... were very helpful, and answered all of my questions on that first phone call. My second compliment is for Marisa who I believe is the office manager; I must have called or emailed her at least a couple of dozen times with questions or concerns and she was very patient and kind and was always willing to take the time to help me. Linda her self is a presence in the courtroom, she walked in and I thought "okay, I have the right attorney and the best one here". You can tell she is very confident in what she is doing which in turn of course makes you feel much more comfortable. Essentially she 'got me out of' the entire thing. She reduced my DUI to reckless driving with some fines, but the most important part that impressed me the most was her work with the DOL. When you get a DUI it is standard to lose your license for a short period of time and following the return of your license you will have to get SR-22 insurance which costs a bundle. Everyone told me, and I was fully ready to lose my license when one day I recieved a call from Linda herself telling me that was not the case- SHE HAD COMPLETELY GOTTEN ME OFF THE DOL PORTION OF THE DUI. In fact that day I got home and receieved a letter from the DOL that stating something to the effect that 'the officer was found to have insufficient evidence to have arrested me for a DUI'. What wonderful news and all because of the Callhan Law team. I would always recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in this situation, you will be very happy with the outcome-with a communicative and professional team like the Callahan Law team who wouldn't be?

Client Review

I retained Linda and her staff last year for a DUI. I cannot tell you that the concern, dedication and overall professionalism exhibited by Linda and her staff will not be forgotten. She literally saved my career and helped me through one of the toughest times of mine and my family's life. I am gra...teful for Linda and would recommend her to anyone that has to go through this ordeal. She is a superstar!

She successfully managed my DUI

At a pretty low point in my life about six months ago, I had the good fortune to retain Linda Callahan to defend me on DUI charges. Throughout the process, she and her staff expained the steps, assessed the likely outcomes, and kept me fully informed of developments, deadlines, and appearance dates. ...Best of all, she obtained for me an excellent result that has kept my driving privileges intact, and the overall costs manageable. Defending oneself against a DUI charge is a pretty miserable experience, but Linda and her staff made the process, if not pleasant, at least survivable.
