I recently retained Linda Callahan to represent me in a DUI case (this was my 2nd DUI in 7 years). The very first day that I contacted her office, I knew that she would be the attorney that I would retain. First, Chris (Linda’s paralegal) contacted me after office hours and talked with me for over ...an hour helping me get my self-esteem up after spending 3 nights in jail and being treated like a criminal. From the moment that I walked into their office for my initial consultation, they treated me with the utmost respect, educated me on the legal process, and patiently walked me through everything that I needed to do. And then there is Linda… I have to say that Linda Callahan is one of the smartest, knowledgeable, friendliest, dedicated, and compassionate people that I have ever met. Due to her experience, she has many connections in the system and she is well respected. I remember Linda walking up to the prosecutor before court in the courtroom and had asked if he would consider lowering the DUI charge a reckless driving charge. The prosecutor immediately tried to intimidate her by saying that the arresting officer is one of the most senior officers and he trains other officers on DUI arrests. She did not back down, instead she told the prosecutor that was a very good thing and she didn’t want to deal with anyone that lacked the experience. Although he did not agree with her request at this time, his demeanor immediately changed. As a result of Linda’s hard work and knowledge, she was able to my DUI charge lowered to a reckless driving charge. There are some things that you just can’t do on your own, without legal advice and I highly recommend Callahan Law!!

If you are reading my review, I can promise you are in good hands and you've come to the right place! I got my DUI the beginning of April. Linda was not the first lawyer I called, and I think that's a good thing. I talked to a few others and then Linda's firm. I was blown away! I met with Megan a...nd Stephen and Chris and they all welcomed me. They didn't judge me or butter me up just to earn my business. They were extremely professional and very courteous. They gave me a big stack of papers and told me the reality of my situation and made themselves readily available if I had any questions. They were willing to work with me on payment arrangements. Coming to any lawyer in a DUI case is a very hard and difficult situation. I felt my situation was more difficult as I had my child in my car, and they assured me I was not their first case that involved children. Linda's firm has been handling cases for such a long time, and it was comforting to know I wasn't alone in my DUI case involving a child. I do want to stress a couple things, make EVERYTHING they tell you to do your first priority and get it done fast! And you only have 20 days to request the DOL hearing from the date of your arrest, that's why you need to call her now! And BE HONEST with her team of experts! You are not their only client, there's nothing they haven't heard before. If you truly want the best outcome in your DUI case, call Linda, they will help you! I didn't think my charge could get reduced, especially since I had my daughter with me. At my first pre-trial hearing, Megan got my DUI charge reduced to Neglient Driving. And that's a really good outcome! Megan always answered my millions of emails to her and Linda so quickly. She always kept my informed and I felt I could ask her anything. I would highly recommend them to anyone going through a DUI. And I now keep her business card in my car if ever this should happen again...which it won't!

My son received a DUI on a Sunday early AM and was given a mandatory hearing for the next day. We called Linda Callahan and left a message, hoping to hear from her Monday morning. She returned our call Sunday afternoon and talked to us for over an hour and then several times during the night plus... emails. We hired her that day. By Monday at 1:30 PM before the hearing started she had the situation resolved. I have never had any professional work so hard and diligently for us. She genuinely cares about her clients and never hesitated to give up her Sunday to defend my son. We are truly grateful for Linda and her staff.

Since I had previously been represented by Callahan Law for a speeding ticket (which they got dismissed) I did not hesitate to call them immediately after I recently received a No Seatbelt ticket. They explained to me that a seatbelt ticket would not go on my permanent driving record, which was aweso...me because they could've just taken my money and never mentioned that to me. I didn't care - it was more about principal for me, and I knew I wanted their team on my side again. Their administrative staff seamlessly walked me through the very simple hiring process, and kept me informed through every step of the way - even when they had to change my court date due to scheduling concerns. Bryon Guymon, their associate attorney who handled my infraction, was top notch from the start. He went over my options with me, and due to an error in the cops police report he was able to get my ticket completely dismissed. FOR THE SECOND TIME. Because my ticket was in Mason County, I had to appear in court. It was amazing to watch Bryon in action, arguing on my behalf with the prosecutor. It was great to see just how capable he was in person! They claim to leave no stone unturned and that's exactly what they do!! There's not a doubt in my mind that if I ever need legal assistance again, or anyone I know for that matter, I wouldn't hesitate for one second to hire them time and time again. Their office staff and attorneys are professional, courteous, and never made me feel like I was a faceless case number. Quite the opposite actually. Not only do they reach the "bar", they blow it sky high and set the precedence for every other firm out there. You cannot go wrong with this firm.

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.
