GUN POSSESSION IN ILLINOIS: WHO CAN HAVE THEM, WHO CAN’T, & WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DO (Illegally) Illinois is perhaps the most restrictive state in the country when it comes to gun rights and illegal firearm possession. Unlike some states, you cannot buy or carry a firearm in public without obtaining specific licenses issued by […]
The current United States Attorney General, a fellow Chicagoan, visited home last month, but it wasn’t to see old friends. Merrick Garland, the 86th Attorney General, was here to help the city stop the startling rise in gun violence this year. Turn on the local or national news each week and there will inevitably be […]
Since the beginning of 2020, it’s been happening all over the city, to all types of Chicagoans, and in all types of ways: Carjacking. Legally known under the Illinois Criminal Code as vehicular hijacking and vehicular invasion. In 2020, there were more than 1,462 carjackings, up from 609 in 2019. That’s a 135% increase in […]
First, we gather every single police report related to the accusation and subpoena 911 and dispatch recordings. Then, we go to the crime scene, take photographs, record measurements, and interview witnesses. After a thorough investigation, we listen attentively to our client’s side of the story.
The techniques we use are highly effective because they always reveal inconsistencies in police investigations. Mistakes, misconceptions, and even blatant lies are not uncommon are frequently exposed during our exhaustive research.

I had a fairly serious legal issue but was fortunate to be put in touch with Mr. Callahan. He is highly skilled, extremely competent and very attentive. I am what you would consider a high maintenance client who needed to be intimately involved in my case. Mr. Callahan always returned my calls, was proactive and committed to helping in win my case. He exudes extreme confidence and was always willing to go the extra mile. He even visited me in jail late at night, how many other attorneys would do that. Never underestimate the power of a good attorney. The state knows who the good attorneys are and they are far less likely to pursue a marginal case if they know who they are up against. For me, my felony case was dropped, I considered it a miracle. Don’t risk your future, go with the best you will be happy you did.
