Calhoun Bhella & Sechrest LLP

Ryan Brown and his team were excellent and could not have asked for more in terms of communication and results! Highly recommended.

Ryan Brown provided exceptional legal representation from start to finish. Ryan was strategic, responsive, and consistently a step ahead, turning a complex situation into a clear path forward. Communication was direct and efficient, and every decision reflected strong judgment and preparation. The outcome speaks for itself—I highly recommend Ryan and his team at Calhoun, Bhella & Sechrest for anyone needing sharp, results-driven counsel.

I’ll ALWAYS be a very enthusiastic referral for Blake Brownshadel and would be more than happy to write a stellar review — because he absolutely earned it. Blake was exactly what I needed in the situation I found myself in. What stood out most wasn’t just his legal knowledge, but how well he managed both me and the case. High-stakes business disputes are stressful. Blake has a rare ability to stay calm, strategic, and steady while also making sure his client feels informed and supported at every step. He didn’t just “handle” the matter — he guided it with precision and confidence. His practice focuses on business litigation, particularly employment disputes, shareholder oppression, partnership conflicts, complex contract disputes, and business torts. In my case, that depth of experience showed immediately. He understood the nuances of the law, the leverage points, and the real-world business dynamics at play. He thinks several moves ahead and balances aggressive advocacy with smart, strategic judgment. I really loved working with him on multiple fronts — strategy, communication, and execution. He is direct, honest, and thoughtful. When you need someone who can navigate complicated business disputes without losing sight of the bigger picture, Blake is that attorney. He will be the first person I refer to anyone facing a business dispute, whether it involves employment issues, shareholder conflicts, contracts, or tort claims. If your situation looks anything like mine did, you want Blake in your corner. An outstanding lawyer and an even better advocate.

Brian Calhoun has represented us for many years in various matters throughout our extensive group of companies. We trust Brian in all of our legal matters without question. He is one of the best!

I’ve turned to Blake Brownshadel twice now, and they’ve been a lifesaver both times. Legal issues are incredibly stressful, but Mr. Brownshadel has an elite understanding of the law and a way of making everything feel manageable. They truly listen and fight for you—their attention to detail is amazing, and I always felt like I was in the best possible hands. ​The rest of the office is just as great. The paralegal staff is exceptional—always quick to respond, proactive, and genuinely helpful. It’s a relief to work with a firm where the whole team is this dedicated. I wouldn’t trust any other firm with my legal matters. Highly recommended!

Blake J. Brownshadel is a fantastic lawyer who gets results. What sets Blake apart from other attorneys is his understanding of business matters, responsiveness, and passion for what he does. Blake and his team provided me with exceptional client service, and I was very satisfied with the outcome of my legal matter. I would highly recommend Blake.

Robert was alongside me as I was transitioning my physician job from academic practice to private practice. Those Contracts are absolutely different and did an excellent job. He was thorough, responsive, compassionate, and patient. With such a high-end contract, I trusted that he would ensure that there were no missing pieces left behind, and that I would set myself up, not only for my career, but if ever there was a change in the future. He is worth every dollar he asked for and I would use him time and time again for my contract reviews.

Ì was referred to Calhoun Bhella & Sechrest LLP by a close friend that is an attorney. I had originally hired another firm to represent our LLC in a smaller litigation and was not having a good experience. Our case was dragging, communication was poor and the invoicing was out of control. I reached out to Calhoun Bhella & Sechrest and spoke with Brian and Gwen about our case and what I was experiencing. They laid out a roadmap for the case, explained the process and what they would do moving forward. I believed in what they were saying, it felt very personal to both of them. I had them take over our case the following week and immediately felt the difference. Brian and Gwen delivered on everything we discussed and guided us to a victory! I could not give a higher recommendation!

We have used Brian Calhoun of Calhoun, Bhella, and Sechrest for multiple dealership purchases. Without a doubt he is the most competent professional we have ever worked with in this space. We were able to secure a dealership purchase under unique circumstances due to Brian's ability to turn around an APA faster than the competitors. Every time we have a need that falls into his wheelhouse, we will use him.

We used Brian Calhoun for an acquisition and he turned it all around in under a month! Responsive, thorough, and a great asset for any company that needs help. We have used his firm for years and will continue to in the future!
