Jay J Hall

Jay has his team have been very helpful and attentive during a horrible custody battle. I know Jay and his team are fighting for me.

Despite the length and complexity of the case, Jay provided an expert consultation that helped me understand the laws and regulations in family court. I wish I had known about this lawyer when the case started, as it would've resulted in a much better outcome. I thank him for taking his time to review the case and give me advice.

Jay wasn't able to take on my case given his workload and the speed I needed help but went the extra mile to give me some great referrals. Thanks Jay!

Jay answered all my questions without exceptions, he gave me simple answers without any complex jargons. I would love hiring him if my case was on the same town where he practices.

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!

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!

I've had the pleasure of retaining Hall Underwood twice. Once for temporary orders, then again for the rest of my divorce. Words really cannot express how grateful I am for all the effort Jay and his colleagues put in to my case, because everything I've been fighting for over the past year (my kids and their future), he fought just as hard for them on his end as counsel. While I didn't get what I originally had hoped for out of the the temporary orders matter, it had to settle. Jay thoroughly explained why it was necessary to do so. The evidence I had simply wasn't enough to meet the burden of proof for anything more than equal parenting time and decision making. Being hot-headed by nature, I had foolishly considered going to an evidentiary hearing on it regardless, but Jay was able to talk me out of it, and in the process very likely saved me from having to pay several thousands of my ex's attorney's fees. Looking back on it knowing what I know now about family law, he was absolutely right. After the temporary orders matter settled, my ex and I had considered reconciliation, and he withdrew so I could pursue that. I ended up retaining Jay and his firm again a few months later after unsuccessfully trying to settle the rest of the issues when it became apparent that the marriage was in fact irretrievably broken. Opposing counsel had been extremely dodgy responding to calls and e-mails and continually refused to provide mandatory discovery for months even after I retained them. They were calm and professional dealing with my ex's unreasonably difficult attorney and eventually forced them to hand over everything we needed. The most impressive part of Jay's performance was that he noticed a subtle, yet significant defect in the wording of the proposed parenting plan we received and capitalized on it, which allowed me to place the children in any school in the valley with zero restrictions and ultimately place them in the best school possible (one of the things that is EXTREMELY important to me). Needless to say, my ex wasn't very happy about that, and her attorney fought pretty hard to try to save face in the wake of his devastating blunder. He tried to back out of the agreements that we had made that were not yet binding, tried to conduct an untimely noticed and frivolous deposition, tried to make misleading arguments so I'd be the one to have to pay child support, tried rearrange the parenting time schedule, and continually threatened to seek an award of attorney's fees if we didn't give in to his demands. Naturally, Jay knew it was all just an act and didn't fall for it. Eventually, after all the discovery was completed, Jay gave him an ultimatum. Either this case settles, or we go to trial and we'll almost certainly collect an award of attorney's fees from having to enforce the parenting plan we agreed to (which was binding pursuant to Rule 69). Needless to say, they chose the former. I really couldn't be happier with the results of my case. Not only did I get almost exactly what I wanted out of my divorce, but also my fees for the entire case were only about one-third (1/3) of what my ex paid for her attorney (hers was hourly), who has been practicing for over 30 years, and we still came out slightly ahead. I think that speaks to how amazing Jay and his colleagues are in their profession. Having dealt with a dozen or so other attorneys in my divorce, Jay and his firm is the only law firm I'll ever recommend to family and friends.

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 intently, 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.

I hired Jay Hall for a defense of a civil litigation case, and he is now my family attorney for all matters and he is one of the only two lawyers I would refer to friends and family.... Jay has a no bs approach to law and will not build his clients into a false sense of security. He is an extremely talented lawyer and has the wisdom and confidence to do for you what he does for me and my family and friends. Not what your typical lawyer is, and I have met many lawyers...and would only recommend Jay Hall and Associates.

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.

I fired my previous attorney midway through my case because she wasn't getting the job done. Like most lawyers who only practice family law, she was timid, disorganized, and weak in the courtroom. From the first time I spoke to Jay, I could tell he was the exact opposite. He was assertive and aggressive and always in control. If you think your divorce will require litigation, don't waste time interviewing other attorneys because there's nobody better.

I own several businesses in the Phoenix area and I have used some of the "big" law firms before. Never again. None of those attorneys compete with Jay. He is always a step or two ahead and everything he does is part of a bigger plan. Before Jay, I didn't know how much writing ability could influence the outcome of the case. He's my go-to now for all civil litigation matters.

I began a relationship with Jay and his partners very late in the divorce process. I had a complex litigation involving an attempted relocation with children. I represented myself up to the final trial stages and the relief I felt after hiring competent professionals was immense. They took the case out of my hands, left no stone un-turned nor detail overlooked. They responded PROMPTLY to my concerns and inquiries and have a team dynamic in place to ensure responsiveness to clients. That is unique among law firms in my experience and I was quite emotional by the end of my extensive litigation. They heard me out, allowed for me be over reactive and hyper emotional to perceived changes in the case and then they handled each situation with savvy and finesse. I couldn't recommend Jay and his team higher, my only mistake in working with him is that I didn't do it sooner. If you are an over thinker like I am and suffer from analysis paralysis......then instead of MANY sleepless nights fretting over every possible contingency, hire a team that will exceed your expectations and be fair with their fees. Jay is an expert in his craft.

I hired Jay Hall as my attorney for one civil matter and then for another matter closely related. I am a former peace officer and did not hold lawyers in high regard until I hired Jay. Jay Hall has redefined what I know a lawyer to be, honest, trustworthy and polite; not to mention a great attitude and availability during stressful times. You will not be disappointed, Jay will not tell you fairytales nor falsely build your confidence, a real straight shooter and very high on my "A" list of credible lawyers...(and that's a SHORT list!)

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.
