No integrity

This man actually hired me to do work for him. He refused to pay after being invoiced several times and even getting a judgment against him from the Small Claims Court. If he's not a man of integrity would you want him as your attorney?

hard fighting smarts with heart

Brett Hall PC of Hall Law in Portland, Oregon is an excellent criminal lawyer who is also well versed in personal injury, family and even more so in DUII law. He is very knowledgeable in Oregon law and he is hard-charging, strategic and really cares about the people behind his cases that he represen...ts. I've seen and heard examples of several of his cases and is someone I will always place my complete faith and trust in. His time consulting for me and my family regarding different matters in different areas of law have always been very helpful and I feel an excellent value, especially when looking at the potential saving that I was able to gain from his help, direction and wise words. Brett Hall is the lawyer you want in your corner fighting the good fight for you.

Hire Brett Hall

Brett has represented me with the rare combination of professionalism and heart. He takes his clients seriously, feels strongly about fighting for their rights, believes in our innocence, stays in constant contact and explains legal-ease in layman's terms. Brett gives you his cell phone number and ...encourages you to call him whenever you need to talk. It is clear Brett loves the legal profession and truly believes in getting the best possible results for his clients. Additionally, his fees are very reasonable and I have always felt that I got more than my money's worth with Brett Hall. He is a great lawyer, a hard working lawyer and a very kind person.
