Not Sure About Him
I hired him for DUI. He really did not get me anything more than the initial plea offer. He was kind of short with me when I asked questions. I do not feel he really cared at all about me as a person. Would not recommend.

Replied last February 01, 2016I am sorry you feel that way, Mark. Although, I checked our records and we have not represented a "Mark" on a DUI in some time, we still appreciate your feedback. If you ARE an actual/legitimate former client and would like to contact me directly to give us pointers on how to improve, please email me at [email protected] and I will respond immediately. I do thank you for your input! We always want to make the legal process better for our clients and your opinion truly matters to us at Hall, Rustom & Fritz LLC.

Not having a knowledgeable attorney help me prepare left me in a more difficult situation than I should've been in. Mr. Hall spent many hou...

"Jeff is well versed in criminal law and handling drug and traffic offenses. He is very personable and well liked in the community."

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.
