I had an appointment with Joseph at the Som Center office. Appointment was at 3pm. After 30 plus…read moreminutes of waiting I decided to cancel my appointment and get my consultation fee back. I didn't mind the wait as much but what did bother me was there was no acknowledgement from Joseph as he came out his office a few times. He didn't say hello or bother to apologize for the wait. The office receptionist did apologize as she was aware that it was a considerable amount of time after the scheduled appointment. I had to leave work for this appointment, plus pay a consultation fee and who know's how much more I would have had to pay for the services, which I was willing to do. But, time is money for me as well as it is for the services I was willing to pay for but first impressions speak volumes. To many Attorneys to choose from to just settle.

I had contacted Mr. Callahan's office after a family member was injured in a car accident. This…read morewas the first time my family had decided to have legal representation for possible substantial injuries as a result from the accident. Mr. Callahan was the third and final lawyer I contacted, but I wish he was the first. I will summarize my interactions with all 3, so you can see the difference in opinions. The first lawyer I contacted was by sheer mistake. A family member of a friend had been injured in a car accident, and had legal representation. My friend had given me the wrong name of the lawyer who represented their relative. I called that lawyer, M.W. who owns a firm in Cleveland. On the phone, he seemed nice, but he did seem to try to "bend the rules" a little so to speak, to maximize a claim, and he really tried to pressure me to get my family to come in and sign a contract. He actually called me literally 6-7 times in 1 day (I lost count after the 5th call), and, without me giving my home address to him, he had looked up my address online, and sent a letter and his info packet. Needless to say, I was very unimpressed. The second law firm, owned by H.S., in Cleveland, represented my friends family. I could tell by the questions that they asked in the initial telephone consultation that it seems as if they do take any case, just like the first lawyer I contacted above said "...I have a case", and they also wanted me to sign a contract ASAP. Also, their paralegal and firm seemed quite disorganized as well, judging from their email correspondences to me. And finally, the reason why I am doing this review, the last lawyer I contacted was Michael W. Callahan. Michael quickly and with courtesy returned my phone call, for the telephone consultation. He asked important questions regarding the accident, and I actually understood his thought process. He explained many aspects about accidents and the legal process, as opposed to the above 2 law firms. He showed concern for what happened in the accident, and how it correlates with a legal sense, while not trying to pressure me into signing a contract. He actually gave sound legal advice, and basically told me to do the exact opposite of the first 2 lawyers I spoke about above. He will not mislead you to get you to sign a contract. He will honestly tell you if you have a case or not, and will not waste your time stringing you along like other lawyers, especially the first 2 I contacted. It shows that he wasn't just trying to make money off the case, and in a situation when a loved one is hurt, that is what you need. Needless to say, and without getting into specifics, I took his advice. In the unfortunate circumstance where one happens to be injured from an accident, I would highly recommend Michael W. Callahan without any reservations. Below is his website, with valuable information. http://www.freeinjuryinfo.com/
