Hal D. Hale is an outstanding attorney!!

Hal Hale represented me in a custody case against my ex-husband. My ex-husband was seeking custody of my two daughters who are 3 and 6 years old. As you can imagine, to go through litigation is a very stressful experience and as the average citizen I knew very little about how the legal process worke...d. My case was decided by a jury and I am so thankful that I was able to keep my girls. Hal is an AMAZING lawyer that exercises his profession with a high degree of excellence. I will describe Hal as a tenacious and aggressive lawyer. I use the word aggressive in a very positive way because Hal will fight for your interests with leadership and with very high ethical standards. Something that I appreciate about Hal is his honesty. He is not the type of lawyer that will tell you the story that you want to hear to gain your business. Hal will work with you to analyze your situation, very clearly outline the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and recommend different courses of action to minimize any risk. Hal knows the law very well so you can rest assured that you will be making informative decisions. Hal is very passionate about his job and truly cares about you as a client. Hal has a perfect mix of being an outstanding and knowledgeable lawyer and the type of human being that really cares about you and your family. To hire Hal has been the best decision I have ever made and I will always thank God for meeting him. When we won our case, to see tears in Hals eyes really tells the story of how much he cared about me and my girls. He did a phenomenal job on trial and his cross-examination to my ex-husband was absolutely brilliant. I highly recommend Hal. Please spend the time to hire the right lawyer for your case. Lawyers are a decisive factor for maximizing your chances of winning. Hal is not only my lawyer for life but also a friend for a life.

"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!"
