Chris J. Kaneshiro

Operations Manager – Head of the Intake & Marketing Team Callahan Law, P.S., Inc.

Washington State DUI Defense

Overview and Experience

Born in Hawaii and proudly calling Washington home since the 1990s, Chris J. Kaneshiro has served as Operations Manager at Callahan Law, P.S., Inc. since 2008.
As the head of the Intake Team, Chris is often the first point of contact for individuals seeking legal help. His compassionate nature and attention to detail ensure that every client receives the respect, clarity, and support they deserve during what is often a stressful time.

Before joining the firm, Chris spent more than a decade in the banking industry, where he worked as a personal banker, teller, and managing partner at a local financial institution. That experience honed his ability to manage complex operations, maintain professionalism under pressure, and deliver top-tier customer service—all skills he now applies daily at Callahan Law.

Chris’s diverse background and genuine empathy make him an invaluable member of the firm’s leadership team. Whether coordinating marketing projects, supporting web development initiatives, or overseeing client communications, he ensures that every case begins with precision, care, and trust.

Responsibilities

At Callahan Law, Chris oversees several key areas that support the firm’s statewide operations:

  • Intake & Client Relations: Personally manages initial client communications, ensuring every inquiry is handled promptly and with compassion.
  • Marketing & Web Development: Coordinates digital marketing strategies, web content updates, and brand consistency across platforms.
  • Operations Management: Oversees firm workflow systems, technology integrations, and internal team communications to ensure seamless case intake and client support.
  • Training & Support: Mentors intake staff on client empathy, call handling, and information accuracy to maintain the firm’s high standards of professionalism.

Professional Background

Chris was born in Hawaii and lived in Indiana, California, and England before settling in Washington in 1996. He graduated from high school in Mukilteo, WA, and attended Western Washington University.
With his strong business acumen and people-first approach, Chris bridges the gap between operational efficiency and genuine human connection—two values that define Callahan Law’s success.

A Message from Chris

“When someone calls us, they’re often scared and uncertain. My job is to make sure they feel heard, supported, and confident that they’ve found the right team to help them.”
Chris J. Kaneshiro

Beyond the Office

Outside of work, Chris is an avid Seahawks fan, enjoys playing sports, and values spending time with his family and friends. His approachable nature and sense of humor make him a favorite among clients and colleagues alike.
