Client Comments

"Your graciousness and decency and charm were genuine and were not lost on a jury comprised mainly of simple country folks. They saw you as the class act you are, and not as some big city lawyer. I don’t think the pains you took to prepare for the case were lost on the judge or jury either. Your case was as solid as it could possibly have been, and held up with the jury even when our best witness had a stroke on her way to the courtroom." Physician/Client, 2007

General Counsel Comments

"They are easy to work with and responsive. Rick and Chip have an incredible presence with juries, and get rave remarks from panel members.

I recommend them to you enthusiastically, as they continue to be my 1st choice of counsel in the south Texas area!" Chief Legal Counsel, PSR, Inc.

"Rick Callaway and Chip Brennig have been our primary trial counsel for defense of our professional liability claims in the Houston and Corpus Christi, Texas areas for eight (8) years.

Chip and Rick have assembled an excellent staff, all of whom provide timely and cost effective service, and excellent results. They have effectively managed our cases, and have won important trials for us on a number of occasions.

Callaway & Brennig have also represented our group in matters relating to employment disputes and allegations relating to the corporate practice of medicine. Callaway & Brennig frequently exceed my expectations, and achieve results well below our established reserves." Vice-President and Secretary, National Guardian Risk Retention Group
