First Time Offense

Justin was such a pleasure to work with. I was so nervous and scared during this entire process. By Justin walking me through the legal aspects and keeping me up to date through the 10 months it took for evidence to come back, while staying compassionate, he made me feel as secure as I possibly could... in a situation like this. Justin negotiated the terms of my probation to a lesser fine and was able to have a few months knocked off my probation time as well. He has also been very gracious in working with my financial situation. Without his help, I would have lost my license (on a first offense), spent more time and more money that I've had to. Justin is a wealth of knowledge.

Best of the Best

Mr. Hall really went to bat for me. He handled absolutely everything from start to finish and said some extremely important words to me that really made me feel at ease. " you worry about handling your business I will handle all of this". He was 100% correct. I was updated periodically however I put ...in zero legwork. I was being charged with a felony and lost my family in the process. Possibly loosing my job was what prompted his comment stated earlier. He took my case to the grand jury and the result was a "no bill" he had the protection order lifted allowing me access to my children and truly making this nightmare go away. I have not had a lot of dealings with the legal system as an adult. I was absolutely mortified to find out how the system really works. If it was not for people like Mr Hall I would guess the prisons would be full of innocent people. Thank you Mr. Hall for everything you do!!

A sure bet in unsure times

When I first became aware that I was going to be put into a situation that would forever change my life, I didn't think there would be anyone that would understand what I was going through, nor did I think they could do anything about it. I was completely wrong. From day one, Justin was beyond thor...ough. Not only did he explain the exact nature of the situation, he told me exactly how we would handle it, and how we would change our approach depending on any changes made by the prosecution. Some people think that an attorney is only utilitarian in nature, that their only purpose is to make sure you get the most lenient punishment possible. I think Justin personifies more than that. Not only was he able to advocate for me in a way that improved the outcome more than I could have hoped for, but he was, at times, a friend. Justin knew when it seemed as though the odds were stacked against me; and he knew when it seemed as if the wind was taken from my sails. He always maintained his confidence in our approach and always knew when to give encouragement to get me through what has so far been one of the toughest and longest trials of my life. I would not hesitate one second to recommend Justin to anyone going through any legal situation, let alone, going through one that seems insurmountable. Lastly, Justin's staff was as instrumental to me maintaining my sanity as he was. They are always on the spot with any information needed and very fast to respond. Justin and his whole team deserve this perfect rating!

Horrible attorney

I hired Mr. Hall and it was awful from the get-go. He was referred to me by the bail bonds place. He and his "staff" of I think one girl up front seemed very disorganized and I was NEVER able to get a hold of either Justin or his assistant. Basically he made a huge mistake in my case that caused my d...rivers license to be suspended for an extra year longer than it should have been. And of course along with that suspension came the breathalyzer, sr-22 insurance, and other costs. When I tried to contact him about this, of course he wouldn't return any of my calls. This was after I had paid him $7,000 to handle my case. On another instance I needed him to fax me a 1 page document from the court and it honest to God took him about a month to finally call me back. He said he had been in New Mexico taking depositions. Incompetent doesn't even begin to describe Mr. Hall. I would give him 0 stars if that was possible. Bottom line, stay far away from this guy. You would be better off with an attorney from the yellow pages!

Although I have not represented anyone named “Joe” in reference to a DWI charge, I apologize for your poor experience. That is not an accurate reflection of my practice, I can assure you. I have been practicing law for nearly 20 years. I am a member of the National College for DUI Defense as well as the Texas DWI Defense Lawyers. I take DWI defense very seriously and I am proud of the work that my firm has done representing our clients. I care about all of our clients and work hard to provide the most responsive and competent representation possible. Please feel free to call me if you would like to discuss this further or desire clarification for any of your issues and concerns. For prospective clients, I would ask you to check out my many other positive reviews to get a better picture of my history as an attorney.
