Great advocate

I worked with Jared during one of the toughest situations of my family's life. Jared was honest and straightforward, diligent, and really worked hard to represent me fairly. I had a positive experience with him (and his office staff) being prompt with communication and answering the many questions ...that I had. I felt like I wasn't alone in a messy legal situation and was an advocate for me. He knows how to work well with others and also stand up for what is right and true. I'm appreciative.

Jared Hales has provided thoughtful, compassionate, ethical, and efficient representation and I am a very happy client.

Jared Hales was highly recommended by others in the legal community as an attorney with whom they would trust with their own divorces. Their admiration of him was immediately confirmed during my first call with him and subsequent consultation. "I will work hard for you" is what he said, and he conti...nues to do so. Jared and his wonderful staff are approachable, warm, humorous, and highly responsive. I have had numerous questions about divorce proceedings and Jared answers each one methodically and with great attention to detail. His expertise and compassion have helped to reduce my stress and anxiety. I cannot adequately express how much better I feel every time Jared addresses an issue with me and for me. Jared approaches every conflict with the opposing side with professionalism and grace. His ability to diffuse conflict and represent my needs in an ethical and dignified manner has been greatly appreciated and set the tone for my proceedings. He is an intrinsically good person and his excellent character has permeated every aspect of his representation. He is a pleasure with whom to work. Jared understood that, out of necessity, I needed to be financially prudent. Without fail, he and his staff were careful to be efficient with their time and my precious resources. Jared was candid about the cost and effectiveness of various ways to resolve an issue and I have been very comfortable with his recommendations. The fees for Jared's representation have been the smartest and most beneficial use of my money. During these proceedings, countless issues have arisen for which I would have been ill prepared to address, had I not had Jared's help. Please do not be afraid to ask for help, yourself. Divorce can be one of the most momentous events and the effects on an individual and children can potentially endure for their lifetimes. Jared has worked hard to help me and my family have the best possible start in our new lives, for which I will always be grateful. I could not have done this without him. I now have the privilege of recommending Jared to others in need. I am sure that he will work hard for you, too. Best wishes to you.

Absolutely the BEST!

I first worked with Jared 6 years ago when I was going through my divorce. Talk about a chaotic time in my life. I had no idea everything that went into a divorce. Jared helped me with the process step by step to make such a big change in my life go as smooth as possible. He was efficient, thorough a...nd has impeccable turnaround time with every correspondence; even if he was on vacation. I wasn’t treated like just another case, he took the time to care about my situation and the little one that it was effecting the most. I still use Jared to this day with things that have come up like relocating, mediation, modifications and court. I HIGHLY recommend Jared if you ever are in need of a lawyer.

Best Bang-for-Your-Buck

Jared is an excellent attorney. I have been very pleased with the outcome of my divorce and with the way Jared handled the issues thrown at me from my ex and her attorney. Additionally, a common issue for divorcees is the cost of an attorney. Jared was always quick to respond to my requests, and ...was very, very fair with his billing procedures. As an attorney myself, I'm sensitive to attorney billing practices, and I find Jared's billing practices to be both reasonable, honest, efficient, and fair. I have had friends whose ex-spouses have used Jared as their attorney. My friends frequently commented on the fact that Jared did a better job, was more responsive, and charged significantly less than their ex-spouses' attorneys. I've recommended several friends to Jared for a variety of family law issues, and will continue to do so.
