Military lawyers within 300 miles of Portland Oregon

Attorney At Law Attorney Joshua V. Callahan founded The Callahan Law Office in his home state of Oregon in 2014. Since then he has helped numerous clients in the Lake Oswego and Portland areas successfully attain the maximum compensation they deserve following motor vehicle, medical malpractice, and other accidents. While completing his formal education, and before opening his own practice, Joshua started a business providing trial support services as a consultant and technical expert. After supporting trial attorneys in over 50 trials statewide, Joshua knew he wanted to be a trial attorney himself. Watching and supporting some of the most experienced trial attorneys in the Portland area, including Attorney Ralph Rayburn, allowed Joshua to gain valuable legal experience unique among his peers. Drawing from this knowledge, Josh has become a successful negotiator and litigator in his own right, who fights tirelessly for the rights of his injured clients. Proud Combat Veteran, Husband & Father Joshua was born and raised in Southeast Portland. He served in the US Army as a Military Police Officer for almost eight years, during which time he was deployed overseas numerous times for combat and other important missions. Joshua then returned to the Portland area to complete his undergraduate degree and attend law school. Josh is married to his amazing wife Anne who is also an attorney in the Portland area. They are the parents of two young boys, Brady and Patrick. When he is not working diligently for his clients, Josh enjoys spending time with his family and friends as well as staying active on the golf course and the basketball court. Joshua and Anne live in the Southeast Portland area and plan to raise their boys in the same great environment they were both so lucky to grow up in as young children.

My journey to becoming a lawyer has provided me with the skills to challenge and overcome barriers. I grew up in a military family, which strengthened my ability to adapt and negotiate as I moved from state to state. While finding myself through all of that, I was lucky enough to find and develop a love of skateboarding at a young age. It gave me a Tabula Rasa feeling even before I knew what that was. I owe my level of persistence and determination to that sport. It taught me to never give up and to always give it "one more try". When I'm not skateboarding, you can find me in the kitchen trying to recreate my favorite meal in this world, dhalpuri and curry duck. Cooking has taught me a lot about patience and attention to detail. Before attending Willamette College of Law, I attended the University of Denver where I received a Master of Science degree, and Indiana University where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree. I believe that the system is not fair. Systemic issues, biased social-cultural structures, and inequality of access to resources contribute to most legal issues. My role as a lawyer is to support my client in overcoming such barriers, especially in the context of criminal defense. During law school I concentrated my efforts on drug reform, ultimately becoming Vice Chairman of Willamette's Law Students for Sensible Drug Policy chapter. During that time our group was able to successfully lobby for social equity and help create House Bill 4088, as well as lobby for what became Ballot Measure 109. Now that I am no longer in school, my focus has shifted to criminal defense trial work.
