Sorry 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.

Knowledgeable and Professional

Mr. Hallauer has been there for our family on multiple occasions. On each occasion he was professional, supportive and dedicated to our needs.

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.

Mr. Hallauer is the most professional and knowledgable lawyer. He's best!

When I needed an attorney and thought my world had come to an end, Scott Hallauer provided me with ease of mind and defended my interests perfectly. I truly believe him to be the best attorney in Virginia. I highly recommend him for all your legal needs.

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.
