Amazing combination of experience, compassion and integrity!

Hands down the best in the Valley. Jay and Emi provided legal advice and guidance during a very difficult time in my life. They were not only experienced and knowledgeable, given their strong background in family law, they were also incredibly honest, very responsive, and extremely fair. Before makin...g any decision, they made sure I had all the facts and a solid understanding of them. I knew they wouldn’t steer me wrong and that I was in great hands. They were compassionate about my situation and it was clear they really cared about their clients. I would strongly recommend Hall Underwood to anyone seeking the absolute best legal representation and advice.

Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer!

Jay did an amazing job representing me during a child custody/child support case! I previously retained a different law firm and I was very unhappy with them and that's when I found Jay. Best decision I made was switching to him. He answered all of my questions no matter how big or small. He was very... prompt in answering me both through email and text messages. He eplained exerything in great detail and i definitey couldnt have asked for a better outcome! Words could never expess how satisfied and grateful I am! I will definitely be using him in the future (hopefully I won't need to though lol) and I refer them to everyone I know! Thank you Jay for everything!

Doesn't get any BETTER!

I retained Jay for my child custody matter. He is responsive, professional, highly intelligent, dependable and he will get results! If you're in need of an attorney that will go above and beyond.. Jay is your guy. I am so grateful I found Jay and his team!

NOT ENOUGH STARS

On this scale of 1-5 the rating earned here is a solid 12. Jay Hall is an outstanding, compassionate and knowledgeable attorney. As a single mother on a slim budget, I shopped around. My young adult son needed help with a personal matter that could have been disastrous to him. Jay listened to him int...ently, said he would glad to help, and helped my son navigate his issue expeditiously with the utmost respect, guidance and reassurance. The matter was resolved with a favorable outcome and Mr. Hall has been just a blessing to us both.

Helpful, timely, knowledgeable!

I could not be more satisfied with Jay's help with my small business issue. Being a small business owner I was overwhelmed stressed with the threat of an angry client and Jay went above and beyond to help me. He calmed my nerves and he was patient. Jay answered all of my questions quickly. After the... issue was resolved Jay made it a point to follow up with me to make sure my issues were resolved and everything was good on my end. I recommend Jay to all of my friends who are needing legal help and advice.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
