Callaway & Wolf

This is actually my second review (first was also 5 stars) of Callaway & Wolf, because my medical condition deteriorated after the initial surgery and partial settlement. It was the excellent advice from Boone and Vadim that allowed me to benefit greatly from a second settlement. Through the grueling 4+ year process of surgeries, rehabilitations and complex legal processes, I always felt Boone and Vadim had my best interests as their priority, and that they truly cared. Heaven forbid I ever find myself in the same position, but if I did, I would absolutely rely on Callaway & Wolf again; and I would also recommend them to my friends and family.

They do not provide comprehensive medical malpractice services.

Hi Emily. We receive many requests for representation in medical malpractice cases every day. I purposely limit my caseload so that I am not spread too thin, and the clients we can help get the best possible personalized representation. As a result, I can't accept all of the potential clients who contact me about cases against health care providers. I hope that if you understand this, you'd consider removing the one star review.

They didn't turn me away they referred me to someone who might be able to help

They weren't helpful ?

Wasn't able to help but was kind enough to pass along important information, advice, and point me in the right direction!

Thanks for contacting us regarding your matter, we appreciate the positive review and hope you'll call us again if you need additional information.

I had a personal injury case that occurred when I was knocked off my motorcycle on the freeway. Based on a recommendation from a friend of mine, I got referred to Boone Callaway at Callaway & Wolf. Boone was very friendly and accommodating and met with me at his office in downtown San Francisco and we proceeded to seek restitution for my injuries. I only manage to escape the incident with my life, however my injuries kept me in discomfort for many months, part of which time I was not able to work. Boone and his associates went to bat for me in the meantime and dealt with the insurance companies. I was in fear of not receiving much compensation for my suffering because a coworker of mine had had a traffic accident where he had been rear-ended in his car, did not seek legal assistance, and instead went after the insurance company of the at-fault party himself. He wound up with less than the money needed to even buy a used car to replace the one he previously had that was totalled in the accident. On top of that, I was in the position of having never had to seek legal assistance (I had only been in one very minor, non-injury-related, accident in close to 25 years of driving both cars and motorcycles)... I thought my co-worker's experience might be the norm. Boone and his firm pushed for, and achieved the most appropriate compensation for this whole incident. At one point, a friend, to whom I had mentioned what I was going through, asked me: 'what would someone have to pay you to have this happen to you again? That is the compensation you need to seek out to at least attempt to make yourself whole again.' Think about that if you ever get into a personal injury situation and then seek competent legal assistance from lawyers like Boone Calloway and his firm.

Thank you for your kind words James. We have an excellent team here, and motorcycle accident claims in San Francisco can be particularly tricky some times. Thank you for your trust in this matter and we are proud of the result we received for you.

After getting in a motorcycle accident that resulted in a broken leg requiring surgery, I contacted Boone Callaway. He proved to be an excellent attorney who is smart, experienced, and who works hard. Boone put together a strong case that brought about a favorable settlement.

The accident took place at the entrance of a public parking lot. After taking the ticket from the automated dispenser, the dispenser's traffic control bar came down prematurely as I attempted to ride into the lot. It knocked me down, my motorcycle falling on top of me. I had broken my leg just above my ankle joint. Surgery was necessary the next day, requiring a mending plate to be bolted to the broken bone. For six months I was unable to make a living. Recuperation and physical therapy followed before I could walk without crutches. More months of healing and exercise were necessary until I was walking normally and able to run.

In the eyes of the law my case was not cut and dry, though from my perspective the company managing the parking lot was in the wrong and 100% responsible. I had a good case, but Boone bolstered it considerably after discovering that there were many other motorcyclists besides myself who also got into some kind of accident at the parking lot entrance. In addition to his noteworthy investigative skills, Boone is tenacious. He found evidence that the parking lot management company avoided spending the money to beef up their parking system with electronic sensing devices and clear signage. Apparently, motorcycles are problematic for automated parking systems. It is an issue that must be addressed if a parking lot is to be safe for motorcyclists.

The case went to mediation. Boone is professional, but determined, and he fought hard for the best settlement he could get for me. These qualities were especially important in my injury case. Boone eventually received the call from the mediator informing him that the parking lot management company was willing to settle on our terms.

But there was more. After we received the settlement, a very large medical bill had to be paid. Boone negotiated considerably better terms with the health care provider and consequently my medical expenses were far lower.

I am altogether satisfied with the representation I received from Boone. An injury case such as mine gets complicated very quickly. Boone zeroed in on what it took to win a settlement that was fair. He performed admirably and I left the table knowing that I received the compensation I deserved.

Thank you so much for your review Charles, our team was very satisfied to get you the result that we did. Part of our process is to make sure that we prepare to go to trial if needed at every step of the case, but in this matter, as you mention, the defendants saw that we had produced enough compelling evidence and arguments that they had to accept our settlement number or face a great deal of risk if they proceeded to trial. Pointing out our recent successful trials against public entities also helped a lot. Thank you for trusting us as your personal injury attorneys in San Francisco.

Boone was the right guy for me! I loved being treated with so much respect while in his office. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a real trial lawyer, not the ones that advertise on the backs of buses.

Thanks Boone!
