The Callahan firm focuses exclusively on DUI's. There is some good and some bad to this - but it is my belief that this is mostly bad. I watched them very closely during the whole process with respect to my own DUI and witnessed how they churn people in and process them quickly in order to move on ...to the next case as as quickly as possible. In this context, it's all about efficiency and speed, which is not always in your best interests. I was represented by them for over a year and attended court at least 15 times - and only TWICE was Linda my actual attorney - otherwise it was whatever recent law graduate (usually a fresh-faced twenty something) that she happened to hire that week, most of whom quite obviously did not know how to handle themselves in a courtroom. You are much better off going with an older attorney who might be retired but takes a case now and then to supplement her/his income. That person will give you the individualized attention that you deserve. Callahan was no help to me whatsoever and simply processed me - as she does hundreds of clients each month - as quickly as possible. When you are confronted with a something as serious as a DUI, do you want to be processed as quickly as possible or do you want individual attention? Look: the DUI laws are fairly cut and dry in Washington State - what any attorney can and cannot do is fairly limited - so having a "DUI specialist" means very little for you. By contrast, it means everything to an attorney like Callahan, because she can process as many of us as possible in order to maximize her profit. That's what it's all about. Trust me: there's a lot of retired judges and other attorneys with a lot of experience in Olympia, Tacoma, and Seattle who will take your case and really focus on you and your specific circumstances. Don't choose the DUI Processing Mill that is Callahan Law.

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!!

I recently retained Linda Callahan to represent me in a dui case. We went deferred with the case and she could not have been more helpful. She clearly explained all that I needed to do before our court date and stayed in contact with me to monitor my progress. She also was quick to return my calls wh...en I had questions. Linda and her entire staff took very good care of me in this matter. One year later, I needed her again for driving w/o an ignition interlock. Normally, this would result in the revocation of my deferred case. But, because of her willingness to fight on my behalf due to my otherwise complete compliance with my deferred case, she was able to get the court to defer this case as well. Again, Linda and her entire staff worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome and their hard work in this matter has made it possible for me to continue with this program and enjoy my freedom. I thank everyone at Callahan Law for this.

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!

I contacted Callahan law when I got a speeding ticket, they were very helpful from start to finish! They were able to get my ticket Dismissed! I am super happy with the outcome as I didn't have to pay the fine & it won't be on my driving record & my insurance rates won't go up. Everyone that I int...eracted with at Callahan was knowledgeable & helpful at each turn. I never had to go there (all done via phone email & fax) which was awesome for me as I have a busy schedule, I did not even have go to court. I was able to go to work while they worked for me so now I can use my vacation day for FUN! it was a Great No Drama Experience! I will tell all my friends and family about the folks at Callahan law office!
