Highly Recommended

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ben from Ben Hall Law, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ben was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and patient. They took the time to understand my needs. I highly recommend Ben and Ben Hall Law.

Best Attorney

Mr. Hall is the best attorney you can hire, especially if you have a difficult case. His experience as former police and prosecutor provides him with a full panorama of the other parties' perspectives and gives him a great advantage over other defense attorneys. Ben is not only a very experienced... attorney and highly knowledgeable of the law (as it would be expected), but most importantly, treats you as a human whose life could literally could be on his hands. You are not a bill or just another client. Thus, goes above and beyond even to a personal level to defend you. There are no words to describe what Ben did. We faced a difficult trial with all odds against me. From complainant and police lying, not preserving evidence, to a judge not being impartial and obstaculizing every step. However, Ben was always anticipating every potential roadblock or scenario. He was extremely prepared, very strategic and aggressive when he needed to be. He never let the court intimidate him despite how difficult that district court is. From the very beginning, Ben was always looking at all potential alternatives and solutions with backup plans to be ahead of the game. Ben was always available for me, clearly and transparently communicating status, strategy, challenges and next steps. There are no words to describe the effort, energy and motivation he put into my case to defend me. The best decision I made was to switch from another attorney and retain Mr. Hall. I am truly thankful of what he did to get a positive outcome. He did his best until the very last minute. I'm very thankful to him

Quick resolution

I had spent the last few weeks attempting to get a title signed/lien released by the selling party with whom we’d purchased a vehicle. This was going nowhere until Ben got involved. A few phone calls later and they were ready to sign that evening! Ben was knowledgable -informing me of our options an...d likely outcomes, he was professional, and he was timely.

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.
