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.

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.
