Wonderful Lawyer

Shameka is by far the epitome of a true caring lawyer is. She is tenacious and a real go getter in the courtroom. She is a awesome advocate for the single dad. She helped me deal with my divorce and my two children. Anyone needing an attorney, look no further.

Great Attorney!!!

Mrs Shameka L. Hall really took the time to personally help me and not just take my money. She stood by me even when my trial was over. I would refer her again and again. She truly wants to help her clients and her actions can attest to my statement. She has the experience, the resources, and the con...nections -- I know I made the right decision when I hired her

Posted by Joseph | June 06, 2013 | Criminal Defense

Lawyer Shameka Hall was honestly one of the best lawyers I have ever had experience with. Highly recommend her!

I was falsely accused of a criminal theft, and when the state of VA. began to believe the person who was accusing me, I found myself in a very precarious position. I was told of Mrs. Hall's wonderful work ethic, her due diligence, and her ability to communicate with both her client and with those inv...olved with the court system and the penal system. She was no nonsense the entire time from the beginning to the end. She did not take anything for granted, asked for the facts and evaluated the predicament I had found myself in. She was able to use her skills as a lawyer to make the commonwealth attorney understand how allegations levied against me were false. And, eventually, I was acquitted of wrong doing. She is a woman with good spirit, is a very hard worker and does not let anything get by her. I will highly recommend anyone in Virginia to hire her. Without a doubt, if you were looking for a great lawyer, you would be silly to consider any other person. Unless, you wish the results to be less than what you anticipate. I will always call upon her, and trust me, you should to.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
