Jacey Liu, Excellent Attorney at Callahan Law!

I had a hit and run citation. Jacey Liu took my case and she understood that my citation was unfairly given. She went out of her way to make sure that I was treated fairly and ultimately had my case dismissed. Throughout the entire time she kept me well informed and I felt that she was whole heartedl...y invested in my case. I am truly grateful for Jacey and would recommend her to anyone anytime. Callahan Law definitely has some of the best attorneys! Thank You!

Absolutely amazing!!

When I thought all hope was lost and had so much stress on my shoulders, I came across Linda's site. I contacted them right away for my DOL hearing and DUI. Her office staff, amazing! Very knowledgable, seem to have the answer to every question, and not to mention reinsuring everything will be taken... care of. I can't count how many times I called or emailed with questions. They always got back to me in a timely manner. My arraignment was nerve racking since I had never been in trouble before. Every time I felt like nervous Linda reinsured me it'd all go smoothly. Which it did. My second, and final, court date was a bit more nerve racking since I don't do well with speaking in front of a crowd. I stumbled over my words a couple times, but other than that everything went smoothly. I cannot thank Linda (and office staff) enough for helping me through this stressful, nerve racking, and scary time in my life. Not only was my DOL hearing won, but my DUI was reduced down to a Negligent driving. I've already told a friend about Linda's office for a speeding ticket. Once again, I cannot thank you enough for helping me through this hectic time!

Very knowledgeable.

They were helpful, friendly and understanding. I did not feel overwhelmed or judged. They were very forth coming with what was going to happen and resolved the issue very quickly. I worked with them from out of state but I always felt that I knew what was happening with my case.

The truth

I hired this attorney and I never saw her at all through my whole court case, I think they just use her as a gimmick, so people will use this company. The first court hearing was put off because the attorney wasn't present and another attorney substituting for whomever suppose to have been there. A m...onth later the attorney that was representing me showed up that they said is taught by Mrs. Callahan. In court I didn't know really what to expect because one attorney told me one thing for the first court hearing and then on the next court hearing it was something else. I felt so lost, and at that point I wish I had went with the public offender which I had talked to earlier a month prior to any of my court hearings, he stated that he could have the sentence lowered. Which I think I mess up because I should of just talk to him a little more and then made an decision. Anyway on the second court hearing, the attorney( I don't know what to say about her) I felt rushed in to my decisions and the judge talked for her. At what got me was that "she to him well I guess that it you said everything for me". The judge response was I never saw you before and I know all of the other lawyer, so I usually let them talk. And at that very moment I know I had f+&$ed up. I also lost my license for 90 days. My first offense, .09 blow and my last offense. Good Luck

Out of 47 reviews, this is the only one with less than 5 stars overall. So something went very wrong in your opinion, and for that I am very sorry. Please call to discuss this, as I want to make things right with you. It is extremely rare for us to have a dissatisfied client. I personally strategize, investigate and negotiate every case my Firm handles. There is always the option to request that I personally appear at every hearing; there was no such request in your case. The reduction we obtained for you to a Negligent Driving is one most of our clients are very happy to obtain. Finally, I am sorry you felt rushed, but we were under the impression you were moving out of state a couple of weeks after your court hearing and a continuance would have been a great inconvenience to you. Again, please call so that I can fully communicate my regret that your experience was not excellent as it has been for all our other clients. Warmest regards, Linda Callahan

Professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic

In a snapshot, I was absolutely shocked to receive in the mail a pending charge of DUI after I was in a single car accident and underwent a seemingly unassuming police interview in the ER. Throughout my court process, a) I felt embarrassed thinking "she's heard this all before, but it's TRUE;" b) I ...was always on the verge of wanting to belt out the inadequacies of the prosecutor's case. Linda was always empathatic and calm, but firm in reminding me of the balance between defense and prosecution (if you're ever in this unfortunate circumstance, she will also tell you the details). I am in a "profession" as well, a DUI could be devastating to my career and personal future. Linda was able to able to point out the inadequacies of my case in an objective, "non-finger-pointing" way by ways of her own professional research and expert verification. In the end, my case was dropped from DUI charges to Negligent Driving.... normal license (no SR22 insurance), only bench probation w/ normal court fines ( if no criminal charges for 2 years, my case is officially dropped to negligent driving). I wish this experience upon nobody. I've never had any charge of any sort before and I'm going on middle aged. I had no idea what the process was or how to go about things. Linda guided me personally and took charge professionally. She is absolutely the best personal defense lawyer you can hire.
