How about a real attorney

Linda Callahan just saved my job, my house and my future by truly fighting for me. You see attorneys on TV fighting for their clients, pulling up case law and using every nugget of evidence that they can find to defend their clients. Then when you get in the real world one tends to wonder why it se...ems like an attorney just wants to railroad you through the system and keep friends with the judges and prosecutors. All the while you begin to wonder just whose side he/she is on? I never once wondered that with Linda Callahan. Her staff communicated with me CLEARLY during the whole case and Ms. Callahan contacted me just as much to make sure that I understood everything about the case and then even explained her approach/attack. She NEVER left me wondering. This is far from my first go round on a DUI case. I have a very reputable job and thought I had NO chance at keeping my job due to this being my 4th charge of DUI. I had already written off my job and hence my home, investments, income, and ability to provide for my family. Time and again Ms. Callahan refused the prosecutors offer because she thoroughly reviewed the video and audio and was wise enough to see errors in the police reports. She wrote a motion that made it clear to me that she actually watched the video and listened to audio of the arrest. My guess is that she watched it several times by the very thorough and extensive motion that she wrote. As it turns out, that motion to suppress much evidence was enough to reduce my charges which allowed me to keep my job and be able to continue providing for my family. I am busy man and have much to do besides write reviews on attorneys, but I wanted to give credit where credit is due. I also wanted the reader of this to give him/herself the best advantage at their case by knowing WHY they should chose Linda Callahan to defend their case. On that day after I was arrested I found myself frantically looking up attorneys. If I hadn't chose Ms. Callahan that day, I have no doubt in mind, that I could be down at the county jail right now eating a peanut butter sandwich.

Grateful for Callahan Law. Bravo!

Finding a lawyer feels overwhelming. Especially when you are facing criminal prosecution. I was facing a second DUI charge. It was ultimately reduced after the firms persistence. At this point I feel lucky to have wound up with Linda Callahan/Callahan Law fighting for my rights. From day one, I fe...lt like her firm was on my side, and not just doing their job. Everyone at the firm I talked with was professional, personable, respectful, and friendly. Nothing about their service is average. They help walk you through the entire process. Promptly answering any questions you have, keeping you informed and advised. From the first phone call, even before I accepted their services, I was given professional advice. Callahan Law understands the procedures law enforcement is required to follow leading to an arrest. I was asked pertinent questions while it was fresh in my mind and they went about picking apart officer friendly's police report and video footage to find holes in the prosecutions case. They dug up other cases that were similar to mine and could help in my defense. There is no doubt in my mind my case was handled on a personal basis. Linda has a long, involved history in DUI defense. That opinion is based on what I took away from my conversations with her, as well as her actions in and out of the courtroom. Prosecutors apparently don't mind voicing their opinions in the courtroom before a judge walks in. At these times I witnessed firsthand their respect for Linda; though she was never there to see it. As stated above; this was my second offense for a DUI. At one point the prosecution stated they had no intention of offering me a pre-trial diversion. I believe it was Callahan Laws experience and persistence that eventually got me a reduction in charges. Don't hesitate. Impressive service. You won't be sorry.

DUI Dismissed

I can't thank Linda and her staff enough for getting me through this scary situation unscathed - all I had to do was comply and behave myself. Her knowledge of the system and her legal relationships made it possible to get me out of my DUI completely unscathed after just a 2 year probation period. ...NO license suspension, NO SR-22 insurance, and NO blow and go. I know that my case may have been a rarity in Washington State, but she was able to make it happen. Thank you Callahan Law!

DUI

I have received three dui's and two of them have been handled by the Callahan Law office. They're legal advice as well as affordable prices are beyond the satisfactory level. I have received my license back after retaining Jacey Liu (Callahan Law office), that would not have happened otherwise. She w...as as knowledgeable as she was helpful to my situation, also very pleasant to speak with. I am very thankful for the help that was given, and would retain them over all others I have dealt with in the past.

Physical Control DUI

Recently I was arrested for physical control DUI. For the next few days I was reeling. I needed help. I drive for a living. Losing my license meant losing my job. Losing my job meant losing my medical insurance for my family. In my case this could simply not happen. I was recommended to Callahan La...w and I called Linda. From our very first phone conversation I could tell Linda's expert advice came from years of experience. That in itself was calming, like I was in good hands. Then the legal strategies unfolded during the next few court dates and the impact of this DUI was dramatically minimized. I kept my job. Linda's team was right beside me through this entire affair. Every question I had was welcome and was answered promptly and professionally. I was courteously reminded of upcoming dates and deadlines by Linda's staff. Being charged with a DUI can be overwhelming but step by step Callahan Law kept my informed, kept me updated and kept me calm. Thank you, Linda, Stephen, and your entire firm.
