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!

Great Lawyer

She helped me with presenting the case and ultimately getting a verdict in my favor.Throughout the case, she showed empathy and understanding. She kept me continuously updated on the case.She is highly knowledgeable and I would recommend her to anybody needing help in this area.

One-stop Shop Great Results

So I was pulled over by a deputy hiding behind a bush on Highway 427 for doing 45 instead of 35 mph. Then I was caught with an expired registration tag (1 month late, and honestly I was/am getting old with dementia), and without a current insurance ID on my person (I left my current one at home, and... like I said, age and dementia). I went on AVVO and emailed 3 top-rated lawyers. Ms Callahan was quick to respond and proposed a rate to handle all 3 violations without additional add-on charges. In addition, she or her office handled all the paper works, and I did not have to do a thing, not even appearing at my hearing. I liked one-stop-shopping. Lo and behold, she/her office struck a deal with the prosecutor dismissing 2 of 3 charges, including the moving violation for an acceptable fine for the remaining late registration tag charge. So overall, I came out okay. i would have paid the same or more in total amount if I did not contest the ticket and just paid the fine for all 3 charges. Let me say that while this sneaky cop/demented senior/court prosecutor/defending lawyer episode may be less spectacular than CSI or LA LAW, it was the highlights (or lowlights rather) of my half century law-abiding life. I was tormented by seemingly sneaky cops apparently waiting to lasso helpless tax-paying citizens like yours truly, instead of catching real criminals (the cop was wearing a body armor). I was relieved to be cleared of the more serious charge. I was hinting and hoping to get an apology from the cop, but apparently Ms. Callahan, as good as she was, can only do so much. If Ms Callahan could be my agent, I would like to write a book based on the true real-life story.

Professional and Empathic

Ms. Callahan is an outstanding professional. From the moment I contacted her office (on a weekend), I received timely, courteous, and personal replies concerning every aspect of my case. I am impressed with Ms. Callahan's staff; her office manager is highly organized and communicates information bo...th in writing and over the telephone at every juncture of the process. I was made to feel like a unique individual, not a faceless entity or case number; Ms. Callahan is both a compassionate human being and a formidable attorney who clearly has earned the respect of her colleagues and who is meticulous in her defense strategies. Ms. Callahan is very sensitive to the ways in which a legal case profoundly affects one's personal and professional life, and never fails to offer support and encouragement along the way. I am very happy with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend Ms. Callahan to anyone dealing with a DUI charge. I assure you that you will not be disappointed and will feel as though your money has been well spent.

Speeding ticket - dismissed!

A speeding ticket I received was way out of line, and I didn't want another ticket on my record. My efforts to contest other speeding tickets resulted in reductions in fines, but never dismissal. I reached out to this firm, received prompt and kind customer service, and ultimately the ticket was dis...missed. I got the outcome I wanted, hence the excellent rating. My only issue was once I submitted my paperwork to them I didn't hear anything more - until I received the letter in the mail that the ticket was dismissed. I would have welcomed a message or something a day or two before that it was being taken care of.
