Callahan & King is hands down the best legal team I have ever worked with!
I came to them after another attorney told me there was basically nothing that could be done with my case.
Where others saw a dead end, Mr. King and his team saw a path forward and delivered outstanding results.
Mr. King, along with April and Juli, were incredibly kind, courteous, and professional throughout the entire process. They were open-minded and truly willing to hear out my perspectives, which made me feel like a valued member of the team rather than just another case number.
What stood out most was their tenacity. They pursued a very difficult individual and company, refusing to give up even after multiple efforts.
If you want a legal team that is professional, persistent, and actually listens to their clients, this is the office to call.
A special thanks to Mr. King, April, and Juli for their unwavering support and excellent representation!

Thanks Terrance! We always love having from our clients, and it was a pleasure working with you, too!
Remove all comments about my active case if not I will a complaint with. State Bae of Texas and purse legal malpractice suit. attorneys can face severe disciplinary action, ethical violations, and sanctions for posting about active cases—including specific litigation like appliance defect lawsuits—on social media.
While attorneys are allowed to advertise their services, their freedom to discuss ongoing cases is heavily restricted by rules of professional conduct.
Here is a breakdown of why this happens and what constitutes "trouble" in this context:
1. Breach of Confidentiality (ABA Rule 1.6)
The Rule: Lawyers must protect all information relating to client representation.
The Problem: Posting details about a case, even anonymized, can lead to the identification of a client or reveal confidential strategy.
Consequences: Disciplinary action, including suspensions, for disclosing too much information, especially without client consent.
2. Prejudicing an Adjudicative Proceeding (ABA Rule 3.6 - Trial Publicity)
The Rule: A lawyer cannot make extrajudicial statements that they know will have a "substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing" a court proceeding.

Hi, Jamaal.<br><br>There is no confidential information about your case posted publicly.<br><br>Again, we’re sorry you were displeased with our work. You have the right to petition the bar. You have a right to express your frustrations publicly, as you have. We are also entitled to respond as we have and inform future attorneys what they may encounter in representing you. <br><br>If you would like our response removed, removing the initial review it was posted under should automatically remove the response.
They really fight for you and find all loop holes possible even if court appointed as I am.
My last one didn't fight for me at all !!!
You can't go wrong with him or his staff thank you !
I appreciate all of y'alls hard work and being there to defend me !
Awesome service and incredibly helpful! The whole team (and specifically Avery) were amazingly helpful in handling our case for our college student. She kept us informed at every step of the process and the result was exactly what we hoped for. Highly recommend if you need help in Waco!
Worked with paralegal Avery Bulsiewicz here regarding a traffic ticket and received friendly and professional treatment. I also found them highly knowledgeable and would highly recommend them.
Very unprofessional. Very poor communication. Hired them to contest a citation over 4 years ago and it still has not been resolved despite numerous attempts on my end and almost no communication from them. They sent me a copy of a single email that they sent to the court and said that was all they could do. I asked them to refund my money so I could just pay the fine. They didn't do that either and I ended up having to pay the fine anyway. By hiring this law firm I doubled the cost of the citation. I have hired other lawyers in the past but have never experienced this level of incompetence. There are a lot of law firms in Waco but I would not recommend Callahan & King if you want to trust someone to handle any legal affair that you may have.
NO ONE EVER STOPPED PAYING. Your office declared the contract fulfilled and complete and to go any further would require a new contract and retainer.
Warning-
No concern for you or your well being-just fattening his bank account.
Respondents attorney said “it’s pretty common knowledge that when Cody’s name is listed as council- for the other side-99% of the time we get what we want-hands down -. No worry about negotiating”.
Paperwork not filed correctly etc.
Still trying to resolve paperwork and retrieve what was ‘awarded’ that was never made available. . Doesn’t mind billing you for work he didn’t/doesn’t do.

Loni,<br><br>You aren't our client. But since you're reaching out, I'd like to know why you're relying on the word of this guy's wife and law partner?<br>https://share.google/0OmmWayWki7Lvqioa<br><br>If you want to see an instance where Mr. Stapp wiped the floor with that Respondent's attorney in a different case, go read the transcript from the 6/27/23 hearing in cause 2017-3293-4.<br><br>Your husband stopped paying. Nothing was screwed up, but we're happy to do more work if you pay the bill. Let us know.
Don’t answer their phone and keep in contact with you.
EDIT: To respond to what they said below
They say the outcome of the case was in my favor, not really. I paid for a lawyer to reduce a traffic violation which they were unable to do. All they did was take my money, waste my time, and give me a reduced ticket price that didn’t come close the price that they costed for representation. I knew before hand the price was more than average, I trusted them and figured that the high prices were for expertise. They proved that wrong. If you want to overpay and keep the same ticket that you were to get without a lawyer , then hire these guys. I have no reason to lie, not recommended for traffic violations.

Hi, Raymen,<br><br>We actually did answer—we just can’t make you read your emails.<br><br>Our team communicated with you multiple times, confirmed your email over the phone, negotiated a favorable deal for your case, emailed you on 7/16 giving you detailed instructions about your case resolution & deadlines, and clearly explained the necessary next steps (like paying your fine). We forwarded that email to you again this afternoon to make sure you saw that we did, in fact, do exactly what we informed you we would. <br><br>It’s disappointing to get a 1-star review for a case that ended in your favor… especially when the real issue wasn’t our performance, but your unread inbox. But maybe it won’t upset you if you don’t read this either.<br><br>-Callahan & King
Had some nuanced questions for a case and received incredible help!!! Very very friendly staff and paralegals who answered questions for me and made things clear and easy to understand. Highly recommend.
From the very beginning, the paralegals were organized, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They kept up with all the details of my case, and always made sure I understood what was happening at each stage. Their thoroughness and preparation directly contributed to the smooth progression of the case and I am really happy with the outcome. I always felt like I was in capable hands, and they always treated me with kindness even given the nature of my case. If you're looking for a firm where the entire team from attorneys to support staff works with your best interest in mind, I highly recommend Callahan & King.
