About the firm
Three decades. One standard of advocacy.
Calloway & Reed was founded on a simple idea: ordinary people deserve the same caliber of lawyer that corporations and insurers hire.
Our story
From a two-room office on Courthouse Square.
Eleanor Calloway opened the firm in 1989 after a decade defending insurance companies. She had watched too many injured families accept unfair settlements because they couldn't afford to fight. So she switched sides.
Marcus Reed, a former prosecutor, joined in 1998 and built the criminal defense practice. Sofia Navarro followed in 2008, adding family and estate law. Today, eleven attorneys and twenty staff work from the same block on Courthouse Square where it all began.
