Longtime Client

Chris has worked on many cases for us over the last 20+ years and is always professional and well versed in every circumstance. I know I will get straight forward answers that are helpful and timely. He has a solid reputation of successfully handling the wide variety of issues that we have thrown a...t him in a cost effective manner. Chris' experience, candor and quality of work are nothing short of phenomenal. The peace of mind he gives us is why we continue to value him as our attorney.

My Life Saver!!!

Atty. Christopher Hale was my life saver. I had a homeowner insurance claim go severely bad and had already hired one lawyer who not only never got back to me, but did nothing. I felt defeated and was going to walk away from my home as I was unable to fix all the damages after a bad storm hit. I had ...always paid my homeowners insurance and thought I would be protected for things like this. Well, I was very wrong. After a year of fighting and exhausting all my options, I was referred to Chris, but at this point I was extremely hesitant to get another lawyer – figured it would be much easier to walk away from the problem at this point due to all the stress I had been going through for almost a year already. Much to my surprise, Chris was nothing like I could have ever imagined. He was upfront, hardworking, HONEST, and his communication skills were second to none. Not only did we have contact through the entire suit, but he was able to get all the repair money and then some. He saved me and my family from damaging our credit and foreclosing on our home. I am happy to report, that was almost a year ago and my home is in perfect condition, credit intact and I am a happy homeowner. Chris took on the insurance company as if I was his family member. He made me feel like I had someone in my corner and I could finally sleep at night. I really can't say enough about my experience with Chris. When Chris read over my case, he knew I was being wronged and he did everything in his power to right this wrong. I could tell the first week in, that helping people is his true passion. He is one in a million and would recommend him to anyone who is being wronged. In closing, if someone has wronged you or wronged someone you know and love, please ....please ....please call Atty. Chris Hale. You will not be disappointed. He is aggressive, honest and professional and let me say again, his communication skills were outstanding. He changed my life and saved our home. I will never forgot this.

Experienced and trustworthy

Chris Hale guided me through several legal challenges. I always felt like he answered my questions in a way that I could understand clearly and he allowed me to make a decision guided by the law and my lack of knowledge was never an issue. He used language that a regular business person could underst...and without being condescending. I achieved the desired results. His fees are realistic as well.

Experience with Attorney Mr Chris Hale

I've worked with Chris Hale on 2 different legal matters. Both of these cases had a successful outcome for my family. In the first case, Chris laid out what would be my financial commitment and his expected involvement to maximize the outcome. Chris and his staff kept me up to date on his effo...rts and any possible changes or decisions that would be needed in this suit against a local contractor. The final settlement was a result of Chris's experience working with insurance companies and his knowledge of the law, the final result really surpassed my expectations. I needed Mr Hales help again about a year later concerning some trouble a family member found themselves in with our local police. Chris walked us through our options and provided his insight on the law and possible outcomes. His insight was straight forward and my family was very satisfied in the outcome. I highly recommend Chris Hale.
