Barbara has been working with Sean Callagy since February 2000. Sean recruited Barbara to become the negotiator/settler of PIP Claims. He felt her vibrant personality and work ethic would be perfect for that role. The prior Law Firms that Barbara worked in practiced Real Estate, Divorce, Bankruptcy and general litigation so PIP was very foreign to her. However, with the help of Sean and others, Barbara exploded the PIP settlements and has become known at the firm as the "princess of settlements".
Barbara is a Jersey Girl through and through! She loves music and you can always find her on the dance floor. Barbara loves to laugh and is a great audience to tell jokes to. Her love of life is apparent to everyone who meets her. She has an incredibly strong work ethic, taught to her by her leprechaun father and mother. Barbara is always willing to help train new employees with enthusiasm and patience. Barbara has been married for 40 plus years, has 3 children and 2 gorgeous grandchildren!

In addition to championing his clients in the courtroom, Brian is also experienced in helping small businesses negotiate contracts and draft governing documents that provide certainty in daily operations while maximizing opportunities for vocational success.

Fundamentally, clients are people, and they should be treated and cared for as people.
Brian is a proud nerd, passionate Star Wars fan, and dedicated Dungeons and Dragons player and game master. He is eternally grateful that God saw fit to send him a wife who is both classy and nerdy, eagerly sharing in his passion for good stories and even better storytelling, whether that be in books, film, or theatre. A father of two daughters, Brian has ample justification for his corny "dad jokes" (though he maintains he never required a justification). Brian has a dry sense of humor and adamantly believes that there is no such thing as a bad pun.

To coin a legendary New York Yankee narrative, Carolina Velasquez is "the straw that stirs the drink". Carolina may not be hitting homeruns in October, but you can find her diligently solving problems, assisting medical providers with questions and recovering money for Callagy Law clients nearly every day of the week. After attending Bergen Community College, Carolina rolled up her sleeves and invested 8 years in the Medical Billings industry. Carolina has been with Callagy Law for over 10 years. Her commitment to helping clients, driving the Liaisons and a strong desire to just get things done are a few of the reasons why she was appointed as Tom LaGreca Executive Assistant and Liaison Driver. Carolina leads a team of 10 plus people, prepares daily reports on deliveries and filings and helps process over 1,000 client files each month.
Carolina is the mother of a gifted and equally dedicated young daughter named Emily. Mom's high energy, results oriented approach has rubbed off as Emily is a perennial Honor Roll High school student who enjoys science, sports and singing in the school choir. When she is not working or on Parent Patrol, Carolina enjoys great food, traveling, dancing and sharing a good laugh with friends and family.

He is one of only 2 attorneys in America to have Two Top 100 National Jury Verdicts between 2014-2016. Sean is the leader of a medical revenue recovery team that has recovered over 50 million dollars in 2017 and more than 300 million dollars for healthcare providers in unpaid and underpaid claims from insurance carriers.*
Sean Callagy can't stand lawyers. It's why he built Callagy Law with the ultimate mission to "fundamentally change the way people feel about lawyers, one client at a time." After attending Columbia University and graduating from Seton Hall Law School in 1996 with cum laude honors, he soon realized that he could only reach his maximum potential by owning his own law firm, so he created Callagy Law in 1999, following a career in one of New Jersey's top law firms. Within three years his firm became a multi-million dollar success story. Sean's law practice not only achieved dramatic growth in size but has recovered $100's of millions of dollars for his clients.
Sean is also founder and leader of the Callagy Results Formula. He has been studying the science of producing results since he was introduced to a peak performance sports psychologist at 16, which led him to becoming Captain of Columbia University's baseball team, a national level success in moot court at Seton Hall's very prestigious Moot Court team, being recruited to every major law firm out of law school, founding his own law firm in his 20's, creating top national jury verdicts where no one thought justice was possible, and building and creating tremendous attorneys and leaders through his teaching, training and coaching, which he also has run a successful business in outside of Callagy Law.
