Seamless, professional representation

I was another victim of WSP harassment and cited with an erroneous violation of which I was at no fault. Jacey, of Callahan Law, was confident, assuring and professional in assessing the validity of my position. My case was handled expediently with the finding of a prompt dismissal. I would recommend... this firm to anyone and will use them again if or when need be.

A trustworthy advocat

Ms. Callahan went above and beyond to help me. Her knowledge on DUI's was impressive! Her commitment in helping my case gave me a comfort during my trial. Ms. Callahan definitely handled my case with delicate precision!

Highly Recommended

Linda Callahan is excellent! Through her work and the work of her associate Jacey Liu, I had my charges reduced from a DUI to negligent driving. When I was first arrested I called her on a Sunday morning. I received representation and excellent advice from that point forward. I could always call ...her. She is polite, efficient and expert in her field. I never had to take a step alone. I was guided through this intimidating and complex process from the beginning up to and including final resolution. I am very grateful. In addition, I have recommended Linda to acquaintances that needed help and they have all been pleased with the results.

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.
