Replied last October 19, 2021Sorry you feel this way. We worked hard and got everything you wanted in your divorce agreement. When you refused to follow our advice we decided to terminate our representation. Hopefully you find what you’re looking for.

Mr. Hallauer was there for me, when I needed representation
Mr. Hallauer represented me following a collision. Not only did he show knowledge and professionalism, but also made himself available for questions and progress updates. I could not have obtained the fair settlement without him.

Great lawyer for will, criminal defense, family law matters.
Scott did wills, living wills, and powers of attorney for my wife and myself. Great job. It was easy and painless.
