I highly recommend Jeff to anyone who needs a great lawyer. I've known Jeff for a number of years. I've had the fortune of discussing a variety of legal matters with Jeff. He is a thoughtful advocate who truly cares about his clients.
Jeff is energized and tackles cases with enthusiasm. He is not afraid to advocate a client's position even in tough cases. He works very hard for his clients and has years of courtroom experience in both prosecution and defense.
Anthony Cameron, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 1, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter
An unusual conversation of intellectual grasp of the material, technical skill and the interpersonal skills to put clients at ease. His City is full of great lawyers but is already recognized as preeminent. He and I call one another to discuss difficult cases and I think I get more than I give. A very bright legal mind.
Terry Dodds, Car accident Attorney on Apr 16, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer.

Jeff Hall is a top-shelf criminal defense lawyer. Few attorneys are as well respected for their zealous advocacy and creative approaches to criminal defense work than Jeff. He gets great results for his clients and sets a high bar for fellow practitioners.

Jeff Hall is respected among his colleagues for his ability to get great results for his clients. He sits on the Illinois State Bar Association's Traffic Laws Section Council where he helps shape Illinois traffic law. If you need the best defense available in or around Peoria, I suggest you call Jeff Hall. I highly recommend him.

Jeff is well versed in criminal law and handling drug and traffic offenses. He is very personable and well liked in the community.
Christopher Leasor, DUI and DWI Attorney on Aug 11, 2014
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
I have known Jeff for over eight years, first as a prosecutor then as a defense attorney. We had many cases against each other while I was a prosecutor, and I always found Jeff to be an incredibly talented attorney who has always had the best interests of all his clients at heart. Those qualities led me to begin working with Jeff at Hall, Rustom, and Fritz in November of 2013. Since that time, I have been highly impressed with his abilities and the time he spends advocating for his clients. I couldn't recommend Jeff any more highly.
Michael Waddington, Military law Attorney on Jun 6, 2014

Jeff is a personable attorney. There's little that goes farther than civility in negotiations and Jeff is a leader in that category. Jeff's clients can expect outstanding communication and dedication.
Joshua Rohrscheib, Personal injury Attorney on Feb 14, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
While I certainly hope never to need him, if I or any of my family members were in any kind of criminal trouble, Jeff would be my first call. Jeff Hall concentrates in all matters of criminal law. He is a former prosecutor and a zealous advocate. He's also a prolific writer, commentator, and a very pragmatic problem solver. He also shows tremendous professional courtesy to other lawyers and he genuinely cares about his clients. I highly recommend him.

He is highly motivated, extremely knowledgeable and very well respected among local prosecutors and judges. He educates his clients, plans a strategy for every case and executes his plan. I have seen it everyday while working with Mr. Hall. If you have a criminal or DUI question, Mr. Hall is the hard-working attorney for you.

I have known Mr. Hall for several years and have never known an attorney who so passionately represents his clients as Mr. Hall does. Jeff Hall is an outstanding lawyer who always explores every option and possibility available to his client before making a recommendation on the case. Mr. Hall is strongly recommended for anyone looking for an attorney experienced in the areas of criminal defense, DUI, and traffic violation defense.
