Professional and Knowledgeable

I highly recommend Bryon. After meeting with other attorneys regarding my case, I felt most comfortable and confident with Bryon. Throughout my case, Bryon stayed in close contact by keeping me informed of any developments. He was quick to respond to my questions and concerns related to my case. I fe...lt that Bryon was truly invested in my case and dedicated to getting the best outcome for me. He is professional, knowledgeable, and very good at what he does. I recommend him without reservation.

Excellent representation

Bryon was not only enormously helpful in getting my charge reduced, he was also knowledgeable and informative, offering me excellent legal counsel in a calming manner that also helped me through the stress of being in court.

Posted by Isiah | March 25, 2014 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Ticket Dismissed

Bryon handled my speeding ticket issued by the Washington State Patrol. One week prior to my court date he called and informed me of the major discrepancies in this case, and left me feeling at ease of a possible win. On my way to court I got a call stating that Bryon was running behind because of ...another case in another county, which gave me a great amount of anxiety. However before I got too worked up, I was informed that the court had been already called and informed of the situation and that I had nothing to worry about. Of course unforeseen occurrences are bound to happen, and I was highly impressed with the procedures set in place in the event of these occurrences. Bryon did arrive not too long after court began, and my case ended up being heard last (due to the tardiness) however he professionally proved that the trooper waited way beyond the allotted time to file this ticket and the case was dismissed. The only other thing that I think could help Bryon be an even better attorney is to work on his public speaking and confidence in the court room, I felt he was just as nervous as I was while presenting the evidence to the judge, which I think he will overcome with more time and experience, he has great potential and is a great asset to the Callahan Law Firm. Thank you very much for your time and commitment.
