She didn't do job and didn't return $7,000.I can't believe she is doing that with spetial need kids. We lost placement in private school, becouse she didn't show up to hearing. Please be aware. Were is company ethics?

I agree with all the ratings stated with the exception of the one that said Beth was the best special education attorney out there. We fired her in less than 3 months. She would tell us that she had connections with schools we were interested in, mention that there was an opening, get our hopes up and then when we would ask her again act like she didn't know what we were talking about. She gave us direction to take our child out of district and place him in an "interim" school. She bragged to us that all the kids in this school were "her" kids. When I disagreed with something she said, Beth got very agitated and defensive. I mentioned the coincidence of her working with these kids in this "interim" school and she accused me of saying she was "sleeping" with the director. LOL, stupid little troll! She is completely unethical, unprofessional lawyer and would NEVER recommend her to anyone. My only regret is that I didn't read the reviews before we hired her. Waste of time and money!

Beth Callahan demanded a $7,500 retainer for our child's case. She promised what she could never deliver and played on my fears as a concerned parent. I fired her after two months. I am taking her to fee arbitration. And as for helping my child, I worked directly with the school district and obtained satisfactory results. I was a far better advocate.

Completely misrepresented her ability to obtain support for our child's special needs at school. She required a $5k retainer upfront and, a year later, we have never received an invoice from her and she has yet to return our retainer. Based on our experience, she misrepresented her ability to obtain State/District aid for our child's educational support, displayed gross neglect of her client's matter, failed to keep her client reasonable informed and failed to communicate fees on a timley basis. If you have had a simliar experience with Beth Callahan, you have a legal right to contact the NJ Office of Attorney Ethics: http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/oae/...

Very short when she speaks with you, does not let you speak. She acts like she cares but does not listen to you, thats if you can even get a hold of her. I felt like she charged for every little thing and after you would hang up she never answered the question you were calling about. Very, very stressful to deal with!!

I echo the other comments here. She is incredibly unprofessional and disorganized. Also not a person you can have a normal conversation with Very self-absorbed and almost childish.

Ms Callahan was the most unprofessional and unorganied person I ever worked with. You have a better chance of seeing Big Foot, before you will ever win a case with her.

Unprofessional, never returns calls to answer questions, keeps you in the dark, acts as if she cares but is only interested in getting your money. Stay away!
