Christopher T. Hale

Christopher has worked for me for years. His advise and council has proved invaluable in a broad range of legal proceedings. I would put him up against the best and know he can more than hold his own in a court of law. Christopher has earned my highest regard and received the respect and accolades o...f his peers.

Chris Hale is a great lawyer. I asked Chris to represent me in a business matter that was rapidly going south. My partner and our client were at odds and it appeared that we were going to be sued and that we in turn would sue. I asked Chris to take a look and give me the lay of the land, so to spe...ak. After familiarizing himself with the facts, Chris was able to convince both parties to back off their positions and rethink things. In a nutshell, Chris was able to communicate to both parties that, to some degree, both were at fault and the nature of our initial agreement was too vague to indicate absolute certainty of outcome. Ultimately, his advice was to forgo legal action and negotiate a reasonable settlement agreement that would require some compromise by both parties. In the end, because of the way Chris approached this and was able to keep two very big egos in check, we were able to come to an agreement. Chris saved our firm the expense of a drawn out litigation action and perhaps more importantly, saved my relationship with the client. The client was so impressed with Chris and as a result was impressed with me for getting Chris involved. That same client now serves on the board of a company I founded some 6 years after this event. Chris could have taken this thing in a whole different direction that frankly, probably would have been far more profitable for him personally. Now, whenever I need representation, I run it by Chris to see what he thinks I should do or who he thinks would be a good person to handle the affair. I would recommend him to everyone and anyone.

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.
