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.

Outstanding Service

I recieved a summons from the Court in error. One phone call to Linda Medeiros Callahan is all it took. She had in taken care of. This was a "time sensitive" mater. I could hardly believe it. The responce from her and staff was incredible. Highly recommended.

Speeding Ticket DISMISSED

I got a speeding ticket and they got it totally dismissed. Didn't have to show up for court, pay any fines or deal with higher auto insurance payments. I will definitely use them again if I am unfortunate enough to get another speeding ticket! The attorney who handled the hearing was amazing - tha...nk you Ms. Champion and Ms. Callahan!
