THE BEST TO EVER TO DO IT!!!!!

I have known Skip for the past 8 years. He has represented my family in 2 cases, and currently representing us on a case now. He beat our previous 2 cases with flying colors. He is an impeccable attorney, and works hard for his clients. He's honest, keeps you well informed, professional , and is well... know in the courts. He gives his best with every case, and truly cares about his clients. Skip is not money hungry like other attorneys. He will work with you and your financial situation, and will do his best work. Skip is not only our attorney he has now become family. ANYONE seeking a criminal defense attorney should look no further. Harold "Skip Hakala will definitely get the job done and is worth every penny spent. I would recommend him to my friends, family, and strangers! He is the best in Boston!!. When you're being represented by Skip, the courts know they are in for a fight!!! I love Skip and would NEVER seek criminal defense from ANY other lawyer! EVER! I will spend my last dime for Skip to represent me, because I know I am hiring the ABSOLUTE best!

Lawyer & Friend

I met Mr. Hakala over 15 years ago I was in a lot of troubling facing a lot of time. I was young scared and had 5 young children at the time. A man who got me in all this mess and then left me holding the hot torch on my own. He introduced me to Mr. Hakala gave him a down payment and disappear. I did...n't know how I was going to pay him the rest of the money which was more then I had. Mr. Hakala assured me that he would work with me and help me out in every possible way. I could since the sincerity in his heart. Mr Hakala went above and beyond what I expected and what I paid him for. I am so thank-ful to have had a lawyer who cared more about his cleint then his money. Mr. Hakala not only beat my case unfortnatley my 8 year old son passed away during that time Mr. Hakala paid the balance I owed on my son's head stone how thought-ful can an attorney be. I named my last child Kala as a tooken of my love and appreciation towards Mr. Hakala. This was strictly business. However I felt compelled knowing the length he went for me. I'm still in touch with him and have referred several family and friend to him. I'm proud to say I have not been in any trouble since and have no plans on getting in any. Mr. Hakala is the best.
