The Worst experience!

Court is hard enough as it is, right? Hale made it worse! Instead of feeling at ease knowing I had an attorney by my side, he stressed me out! He was no help. He recommended I hire him during consultation, but then did not deliver.. he never seemed prepared for court, asked me questions that I had al...ready answered right before court, never mentioned anything important his office and I spoke about, or wrote in declarations (since I never got to talk to him, besides right when Court was starting). I got no where fast with him.. he acted like I worked for him, instead of he working for me. Zero results with him. Thousands and thousands of dollars later, I finally decided to hire a different attorney. I was finally at ease. Best decision, and court was done and over with, quick!.. Would not recommend Hale, he really doesn't care about your case. He's too cocky, and thinks he knows it all, so he'll wing it in court. Meanwhile your hard earned money goes into his pocket nicely.

Avvo Rating

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.
