Callahan & Blaine

We here at Callahan & Blaine are very proud to be able to announce that our very own Dan Callahan and Ed Susolik have both been selected to the “Top 100 Lawyers in Southern California” list for 2010/2011, put out by Super Lawyers Magazine.

Unlike some other attorney awards, Super Lawyers uses a rigorous process to select the attorneys for its annual list, combining peer nominations and evaluations with in-depth third party research. Nominated candidates are then evaluated on twelve indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. The result is a credible and comprehensive list of exemplary attorneys that can be used as a reference by those seeking expert legal assistance.

Dan is originally from Chicago, Illinois, where he received his BA, magna cum laude, from Western Illinois University in 1976.
