Incredible knowledgeable DUI lawyer

DUI > Neg 1 (with 1 year deferred sentence and case to be dismissed) ? Yes, it is possible with Stephen. First time experience with a lawyer and turned out to be the best. Arrested for DUI with BAC 0.101 in Feburary and today with Neg 1 (fines, 12 month probabtion). Everything went so smooth for ...my case. Non immigrant with an arrest for DUI is the horrible thing to happen. Stephen and callahan law were incredible in handling the case while maintaining peace of mind. I would recommend Stephen for DUI related cases and rest assured you are in best safest hands possible.

Minor DUI

We hired Stephen for our 19yo son to help us through a King Co charge of Minor DUI, we live in Kitsap Co. My son was originally pulled over on I-90 Bellevue for talking on his phone while driving. Which turned into a Minor DUI when he confessed to drinking about a half a beer, and blew a .021 (lega...l is .02 under 21). Due to King Co incompetence to deal with multi-offense hardcore DUI offenders, they would not reduce "criminal" Minor DUI charges for a first time 1/2 beer offense. Thanks to Stephens detective work, and good counsel we decide to take to our case to a jury. About a week before the trail the King Co Prosecutor finally offered a 1 yr deferred sentence, which meant counseling, a class, and 1 year of staying out of trouble, at which time all charges would be dropped. Stephen stayed with us the whole time, from original charges through completing counseling and classes. Beware, some in the counseling industry do not seem to be all that interested in helping you through the processes. Unfortunately its harder than you think. If Stephen had not stuck with us, done his detective homework, and not provide us with good counsel, we might not have chosen to take to trail for what was clearly a massive over reaction for a 1/2 beer, and may not have made it through all the hoops. Unfortunately everything Seattle or King Co (except Heroin addiction and related homelessness) is over the top WRT first time alcohol offenders. If you feel like your being railroaded, I highly recommend calling Stephen to get his advice. Thank you Stephen for giving my young son a real shot at the rest of his life!

Excellent

Attorney Stephen Grant was a pleasure to assist me with my attorney needs. He was always on top of the work as soon as it came available and kept in touch with me with any new information or just at what the standing is at the time. Callahan law was very professional and timely and with the help of m...y attorney I was able to get a better outcome.

DUI Under 0.08

Facing a DUI isn't fun. thinking that i will lose my job and my life all over this. Stephen Paul Grant puts the skills that he has and the team he works with together to get you the best Result you can get. We worked with me and worked around my crazy work hours to help me out. He was always a call a...way or a email away if i needed to talk or ask him something. He will not lie to you. he tells it how it is. If you get a DUI and he should be the one to call. His number is the one i now give all my friends. I now get a second chance in life now all because of him. I have no DUI and i still get to drive. no SR-22.

Excellent representation with great results!

I got a speeding ticket in King County and was worried about having to pay the fine and have it on my record. Stephen Grant went above and beyond my expectations and requested every record he could to prove the speeding ticket shouldn't be enforced. He kept me in the loop through the entire process.... He was able to negotiate the ticket down to something that doesn't go on my record and a lower fine. This was an excellent result and I would definitely recommend Stephen Grant. He is a very intelligent and dedicated attorney.

"Stephen first impressed me with his intelligence--his ability to zone in on complex legal issues, cutting through peripheral issues to get to the heart of the matter and find the winning argument. To that, he brings a passion for the rights of the accused, which fuels him in every aspect of representation: his preparation for battle, his presentation in court, and his compassion and kindness for each client. I strongly endorse Stephen Grant."
