Jeffrey Ryan Hall

I hired Jeff to help me get my driving privileges back from Illinois. It had been nearly 17 years since i lost my privileges. I moved out of state and I could not obtain a driver's license in any state due to this "hold" on my license. Jeff helped me by finding a method to expedite the process. He ...assisted me with application and sure enough, the State of Illinois granted our petition and lifted the hold on my driving record. I now have a driver's license from my home state and i am driving lawfully for the first time in 17 years. Thank you Jeff Hall for helping to to get my life back.I got a job right a way, because of my License and can now support myself and my family.

Jeff is the go to guy when it comes to Secretary of State Administrative Hearings! These hearings are complicated to begin with, and with out Jeff Hall's knowledge and experience in these matters there's no way I would have had the successful outcome that I did. Jeff knows exactly what is required, w...ho to talk to, and how to build a successful case in these matters. I wouldn't recommend tackling one of these hearings without representation, but I would certainly recommend calling Jeff, because no one will know how to prepare you like he does.

Mr. Hall and his associate attorney, Chris Leasor, both worked together on my DUI. I was terrified after being arrested. At the first meeting, they both made me feel better about the entire process. Mr. Hall explained all the different outcomes and told me the most likely outcome. Turns out, he worke...d out a better deal for me than we first thought. My DUI was in Peoria County and since Mr. Leasor is the former chief DUI prosecutor there, they knew everyone, knew how the system worked from the other side, and walked me through the entire process with only a couple court dates required for me to appear at. I would've lost my job but we worked out a deal that would keep me employed, keep me out of jail, and keep my driver's license from being revoked. Me and my family owe Mr. Hall (and Mr. Leasor) a debt of gratitude. I definitely recommend Jeff Hall and his law firm, Hall, Rustom & Fritz. Their fees are reasonable and affordable. I had their direct contact info and could get messages to them at any time. They responded regularly in a timely manner and never kept me guessing what was going to happen next. It was my second time needed a lawyer and they really made it better for me when compared to my first attorney.

If your FOID card has been revoked due to a Hospital Stay for Alcohol and or Depression you need to call Jeff Hall. Jeff is very experienced when this happens. Jeff is very passionate in reference to this due to the fact that if you are not a (CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER) your FOID card should not be ...revoked. On March 8th, 2013 Gov Quinn signed into Law Public Act 97-1167 which allows you to seek treatment without having to worry about your FOID card being revoked. Jeff is a professional. Jeff is helping me in this process and it is moving in the right direction. Jeff does not let up. I have been in Law Enforcement for over 16 years and have dealt with several Defense Attorneys and Jeff is by far a guy you want on your side to fight for your rights. The system with the State Police needs a severe overhaul until then its unfortunate if you want your card back have to fight for it and let Jeff help. PUBLIC ACT 97-1167 PASSES Public Act 97-1167, which was signed into law by Governor Quinn on March 8, 2013, finally allows police officers to seek treatment for alcohol abuse disorders without fear of losing their FOID card and the concomitant unpaid leave. In the past, officers who voluntarily sought treatment for alcohol abuse and were treated in an institution risked the Department of Health notifying the State Police of the inpatient admission. The State Police would then revoke the officer’s FOID card and the City of Chicago could put the officer on unpaid leave as a result of failing to fulfill one of the requirements of employment – having a valid FOID card. The FOID Act was never intended to work such an injustice on police officers voluntarily seeking treatment. This new legislation which amends the FOID Act will prevent such abuse from occurring in the future. Public Act 97-1167 prohibits the State Police from revoking an officer’s FOID card where he or she has voluntarily sought treatment for an alcohol abuse disorder and the treatment was rendered in a facility defined under the Firearms Owners Identification Act as a mental institution (which includes many hospitals). It was passed after a long legislative battle, which included the passage of House Bill 4673 by both houses; the amendatory veto by agreement of House Bill 4673 by Governor Quinn on August 17, 2012; and the passage of a new measure (House Bill 1273) in early January of the veto session. Public Act 97-1167 also amends the Firearms Owners Identification Card Act to provide a procedure by which active law enforcement officers who are denied, revoked or have had his/her FOID card seized because the officer has been a patient in a mental institution, can apply to the Director of the State Police requesting relief if the officer did not act in a manner threatening to the him or herself, another person or the public, as determined by the treating clinical psychologist or physician. The new law would not have been possible without the tireless effort of our legislative sponsors, Representative Carli and Senator Muñoz, who were with us during each leg of this journey. Representative Carli is a current Chicago Police Sergeant and Rep. Munoz is a former Chicago Police Officer. Sergeant’s
