Excellent and efficient
Stephan Hall is a great attorney. He is efficient in his work and clear with his communication. He made himself available via all modes of communication. We won our motions and he proved to be a great asset.

Stephen Hall changed my life.
I owe the past ~3 years of my professional success to Stephen Hall's incredible performance in court. My case was unique and a trial ended up being the only viable option. Luckily, through sheer chance Stephen ended up defended me. Not only was he a comforting and engaging adviser, but his defense during trial was sharper than a tack. I was innocent, but the system is designed to find you guilty. Stephen wasn't having it. He tore the prosecution's argument apart, then his cross-examination was strategic - he understood my case exactly and created the perfect defense. I cannot thank him enough for what he did. Stephen is a no-brainer, seriously. He is an excellent Criminal Defense attorney, who is not afraid of trial. I cannot stress enough how much the entire trajectory of my life was changed by this man defending me at trial.

Review for Stephen Hall
I contacted Stephen Hall and hired him to represent me in a criminal traffic case. Stephen was courteous and extremely professional. Stephen guided me through every step of the way and made sure I understood the process. While I hope to never go thru something like this again, I would hire him in a minute. Stephen Hall is an excellent attorney.
