This is the Lawyer you want in court with you!

When I was in need of a lawyer to handle my divorce I was given three family law recommendations by an outside counsel in another discipline that I had worked with. When I selected the best choice for me from the three recommendation, I met that lawyer and they indicated there was an even better cho...ice for me to handle my case, and that referral from one lawyer to another was to Hal Hale. I could not have had a better referral. Hal is the lawyer you want in court with you. From our first meeting and strategy planning I knew I was with the right lawyer. Hal is extremely knowledgeable and has an appropriate amount of timely assertiveness that has proven to be very effective. Hal demonstrates great control and is passionate about his work. I highly recommend Hal Hale.

Hal D. Hale

Mr. Hale handled my injury lawsuit and I want to highly recommend him. He was my second attorney (I fired the first one) and he got me more money than I ever thought possible...much more than the first attorney told me I could get. He was very nice to me and my family, but he was very mean to the m...an who caused my injury.

Hal D. Hale is an outstanding attorney. I first used him in 2005 for a custody matter and have had to use him with my ex-wife from hell afterwards. Also, a family member used him for a personal injury case. He got me custody of my two children when other attorneys said that this was not possible.... In the car accident case, he got my sister a lot of money for her injury.

"Hal & I have collaborated successfully in the past, and I look forward to doing so again inthe future. I've had a first-hand opportunity to view Hal in action, and I can testify that he has excellent instincts and insights, with more depth than one would expect from his youthful appearance. And Hal is incredibly tenacious and focused, yet consistently professional and polite. This combination makes a powerful impression -- and a very daunting one for Hal's opponents!"
