Robert J. Hale - Outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney

Having lived in different countries and met various sorts of people throughout my life, I knew from my first meeting with Robert Hale that he was a cut above the rest. My worst nightmare as a parent came true on the night of my daughter, Erin’s, arrest. Erin was terrified, outraged and devasta...ted. Her father and I were equally distressed. We knew by the gravity of her circumstance that she needed an outstanding criminal defense attorney. Before meeting Mr. Hale, Erin and I had already consulted three different attorneys, including one rising star from an internationally recognized firm. Our bar was set high, and none of them reached it. This was not so with Mr. Hale. While I would – over the course of two years – come to see how several admirable qualities distinguished Mr. Hale from the majority of his peers, what Erin and I first noticed during our initial consultation was that he personalized my daughter’s circumstance, treating her as an individual rather than a factor of her case. He spent two hours carefully listening to our story and taking diligent notes without even knowing whether we would retain him as our attorney. He was kind enough to refer Erin to a therapist who would help her cope with the emotional trauma of her experience. He was not only well-qualified and intelligent, but he was also compassionate; he cared. At the end of our meeting, Mr. Hale told us that he would fight for justice, and by then, we wholeheartedly believed him. Mr. Hale is astute, skillful, and dedicated. He is a stellar trial attorney who brings to court a strong defense and an appetite for winning. He holds a respected reputation amongst judges and colleagues. Retain Robert Hale. This is the best advice I can give to anyone seeking a first-class criminal defense attorney. In my home country, the title for an attorney may be translated as “stand in front” because an attorney stands before his client, protecting and advocating for her. Mr. Hale was that “stand in front” for my Erin.
