Overview
When you face complex business litigation, who would you rather have representing you: an experienced litigation specialist from a firm full of litigation specialists, or a junior attorney at a law firm whose primary focus lies elsewhere?
At Callahan & Blaine, all of our attorneys are experienced world-class litigators. Litigation has been our focus since we started the firm in 1984, and as a result we have a national reputation for aggressively litigating and consistently winning complex multi-million dollar cases. Whether you’re the plaintiff or the defendant, we have the experience and expertise you need.

We’ve secured both the largest verdict in Orange County history – a $934 million jury verdict for Beckman Coulter – and the largest personal injury settlement in U.S. history – a $50 million settlement. We are . . .
Focused – We are a litigation firm. We’ve successfully handled thousands of disputes for a blue-chip client roster that runs the gamut from entrepreneurial mid-market companies to Fortune 1000 corporations.
