Callahan, complex business litigation and catastrophic personal injury attorney and founder of Santa Ana, CA-based Callahan & Blaine, has been named one of the “10 Best Attorneys for Exceptional and Outstanding Client Service” in California by the American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys (AIOPIA).
Callahan has distinguished himself as one of the top trial attorneys in the United States. He has been repeatedly recognized by his peers for his incredible accomplishments as the recipient of the prestigious OCTLA Trial Lawyer of the Year Award three times (2000, 2004, 2012).
The AIOPIA is an impartial third-party attorney rating organization comprised of 13 different practice area-specific divisions.

Attorneys are nominated by the AIOPIA, clients or other attorneys.
Callahan’s many record-breaking verdicts and settlements include a $934 million jury verdict in a complex business litigation case, recognized as the largest jury verdict in the history of Orange County. In addition, he obtained a $50 million settlement in a personal injury case involving a dangerous condition of public property, which has been certified as the largest personal injury settlement in U.S. history. Callahan also has the largest insurance bad faith judgment in Orange County history ($58 million), and the largest employment settlement ($38 million).
