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...

Not Recommended: Absent, Dishonest, and will NOT reply or Communicate Case Updates
Robert O'Hale became my lawyer in 12/2016 for a DUI case. He charged me $2,500, which I paid in full, up front. As you can see from other reviews, he only charged $1,500 to others even a year or two after me.. So off the bat it was hard to trust what he was saying. Twice, throughout the 3 years of co...
This client had a previous DWI. His blood test was .21 which is sky high. I spoke with the officer. I watched the videos. The client ran a red light and almost hit the officer's car. The client couldn't do the tests at the scene and in fact could barely stand. The officer who arrested him was with the police. She transferred the sheriff. The client advises that people should just get it over and plead guilty. That, in fact, as he says in his review is what I recommended. The only hope was that the officers would not show up. So I appeared in court for this client 20 times for twenty months. The officer was not present twice but the court allowed the state to continue the case over my objection. The client wanted to try the case. That is his choice not mine so we did. He wanted to take his chances and that's fine with me. That's how the case went on for 20 months. I try a lot of dwi cases and win my share. The Judge found him guilty but I was able to keep the blood test out of evidence. I went the extra mile to get the judge to issue an order telling the department of motor vehicles that they couldn't use the .21 against him and the order says no interlock. DMV insisted on the interlock. The client was very happy about the judges order and became unhappy when the department of motor vehicles told him he needed the interlock. I have been in touch with the attorney general. I have sent him the order. I have talked to other top dwi lawyers. Unfortunately ncgs and state v. bowes have been interpreted to state that the dmv can over rule a district court judge. I think its a separation of powers violation but that is the current law. I'd like to see it changed but as the client states he didn't pay me any extra in spite of my extra work. I'm sorry he is not happy. He can find the person to blame for his unhappiness in the mirror.

Without Reservation
It is without reservation that I recommend Robert O'Hale, Esq. His office was extremely patient and more than professional. I was placed in a situation that I never thought I would be placed in and while at times I didn't understand his approach or maybe didn't even agree with such. I quickly learn...

Help for those that need it
I had no idea what to do when I was charged. After calling my attorney cousin for a recommendation, I contacted Mr O'Hale. My case dragged on for 3 years of continuances and re-strategizing by the District Attorney's office. On trial day I could not have been more pleased with the preparedness and...
