Don't hire Attorney ohale

Before I paid Attorney ohale he appeared that he was gonna be loyal and professional.. After I paid him he became nightmare to even talk to him he didn't want me to call him he judged me he was rude didn't keep me updated on my legal endeavors at all all.I sent 500 dollars took him he never issued me... receipt. Ohale initially appeared to be the guy turned out to be worse experience I had with any lawyer.

Exceeded expectations

Mr. O'Hale did a masterful job for us. He explained possible outcomes and then artfully exceeded them. When went to trial and he repeatedly showed his knowledge of the law and cross examined shrewdly. I would highly recommend him.

Federal case

Without the help of Mr. O’Hale , I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. Mr. O’Hale took on an extremely difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected and few had ever seen. He worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly.... He has stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. Though we faced challenges, Mr. O’Hale did not falter. His thorough research provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. I will only recommend Mr. O’Hale as I have never been nor have I ever seen anyone treated better. I am proud to be Mr. O’Hale client and will continue to retain them for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands."

DWI

Robert O'hale is an excellent lawyer, he was always extremely prompt in getting back to me a. He also made me feel safe and secure. I was charged with a DWI last year, and he was fairly confident he could help me. He quickly realized my rights were violated and the stop was unlawful. The court case t...ook a while because of COVID, but ultimately it was thrown out due to his excellent knowledge of the law! I don't think any other lawyer in Greensboro could have done a better job. Every other lawyer suggested I take a plea deal, Mr. O'hale is willing to fight for you and put the time in to build you a case! I owe him my life!

If you need legal assistance, Robert O'hale should be your first thought

Mr. O'Hale represented me in 2015 for a DWI case, as well as in 2014 for another traffic related case. He handled both cases in an incredibly professional manner, and was able to get me a more than ideal outcome on both. He simply cares about the client and getting them the best possible outcome. Mr.... O'Hale made my difficult situation much more manageable, which I wouldn't have been able to do alone. I highly recommend contacting him if you are needing legal assistance.
