Jay Hall Review

Jay Hall has worked with me in a professional and respectful manner. He responds to my e-mails quickly and if he is not able to answer my questions right away, he will let me know and get back to me within a reasonable time. He is very knowledgeable and has build my confidence in him as a lawyer this... year. If I am in need of an attorney again, Jay Hall will be my first choice. I would recommend Jay to anyone who is seeking assistance from an attorney. Jay has been very patient with me because I have been finishing my bachelors degree at the same time that I have been dealing with my court situation. I have never felt rushed or abandoned by him the entire time I have worked with him, as I did have to put my court responsibilities on hold a few times during my last semester of my program as it became hectic and needed my full attention. Jay worked around my schedule and kept me well informed on any new developments during this time. I was very lucky to have found Jay Hall and have his services available to me for my legal situation. As I have stated in this review earlier, I would highly recommend Jay as the attorney to represent you. He will not let you down and you will be satisfied with all of his services that he will confidently provide you.

You won't find a better attorney

I don't know what I would've done without Jay. He was patient, knowledgeable, supportive, and calming. He kept me grounded during a time when it would've been easy to go crazy. He was always available when I had a question and he always had the answer. He expertly brokered a settlement that exceeded ...my expectations and it saved me thousands of dollars. During a divorce everything that can go wrong will. Do yourself a favor and hire Jay to represent you. You'll save money and time and you'll be able to move on with your life.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
