Great lawyer

I recently tried a complex federal securities fraud case with Ms. Hall and witnessed first-hand her diligent and creative defense in a case that looked unwinnable. Her courtroom presence and work ethic, along with her cross-examination skills demonstrated her extraordinary abilities as a defense l...awyer. I would not hesitate to hire her, if I was in trouble. (And PS we are not related.)

White Collar Crime...Call Martha

I was an expert witness in a complex securities fraud case. Martha was a wizard in fashioning a dismissal of the case after the trial. I highly recommend her for any white-collar criminal matter.

When Professionalism breeds success

To whom it may concern, I am writing this letter to wholeheartedly recommend Martha M. Hall, Criminal Defense Attorney. I had the privilege of working with Martha over the course of a complex legal matter that extended for more than three years. The case involved over one thousand exhibits and d...emanded both meticulous attention to detail and long-term strategic planning. Martha is an exceptional powerhouse, relentless in her dedication , tireless in her preparation, and always several steps ahead in her strategy. I watched as she put in extraordinary hours, developed innovative approaches, and consistently outperformed the attorneys handling related co-defendant matters. Her work ethic, coupled with her courtroom confidence and sharp legal insight, were instrumental in securing outstanding outcome. Beyond her professional skill, Martha's integrity and commitment to justice restored my faith in the legal system. She not only defended me , but also guided me through a process that was long, complicated, and taxing. Thanks to her efforts, I emerged from this ordeal with a successful result and a renewed belief in the fairness of the law. I give my strongest recommendation for Marth Hall. Any client fortunate enough to have her as legal counsel will gain not only a brilliant strategist but also an unwavering advocate who never backs down from a challenge. Sincerely, Robert Lazerus

Chad Mosher case

I'm the Mother of Chad D. Mosher and last yr. my son got into some trouble transporting Mexicans from Mexico to San Diego, on a boat, and when he got caught all I could think was he's going to be in jail for a long time. He was looking at 5yrs and we both thought this is it. Well for 40 days his gir...l and I where trying to get him out on bail, and then we where blessed finally and home he came. Well his attorney Martha Hall was a little fire cracker and her and Chad bonded right away, she went above and beyond duty to help my son. Well to make a long story short, Chad was out on bail for 13 months and two weeks ago he went for sentencing. Well Ms. Martha Hall had my son's best interest at heart and turned that 5yrs into 40 days time served and 3yrs probation. Chad has alot of work to do but the faith and trust Martha put in him has changed his outlook on life and himself. I love my son and this has brought us together also. So I could go on and on about how much we love and respect you Martha Hall, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
