Exceptional Lawyer Who Truly Cares

We cannot recommend Neil enough. He took on my brother’s case with vigor and diligence. He went above and beyond, ensuring no detail was left to chance. Neil knows the law and has a strong rapport within the community, lending further legitimacy to difficult cases.

Measure 11 Charges

Where can I start.. Neil was just very attentive to my sons case, my calls, my questions etc. Always returned my calls, always offered his time even without an appt, he explained every process in detail and made sure my son and I both understood. But most importantly he did an amazing job on the plea... deal. My son was looking at 20 years. He had very delicate measure 11 charges and Neil was able to get him a phenomenal deal. 70 months with good time credited and elegible for all the programs possible so that my son can do as little as 41 months. I highly recommend hiring Neil Halttunen.

Highly recommended

I want to thank Neil Halttunen, attorney at law, for a job well done. About 2 years ago, some terrible and false accusations were brought against me. I retained him even though not being formally charged. Later a Secret Grand Jury, without physical evidence, indicted me on 8 felony counts. I was arre...sted and placed in jail. Neil was contacted and able to secure my release on a reduced bail. In May of 2023 I went to trial and was found innocent on all charges and cleared of all accusations. I highly recommend Neil. He is knowledgeable. He fought for and obtained all possible Discovery in my case. There were over 1000 pages of documents and numerous videos and reports. Neil reviewed all of this and developed a plan for defense. All documents were filed on time. He contacted experts to assist in the defense. Neil always kept us informed of the proceedings. When we were faced with decisions, he explained the choices and the risks. During the trial, he was completely prepared. After each day in court, he returned to his office and altered and improved his closing arguments. Because of that attention, when the testimonies ended early, he was prepared to close our case. His closing was a superior effort. I can truthfully say that if I had not used Neil, I would probably be in prison now. If I need a lawyer in the future, I will start with Neil first. I recommend you do also

Neil saved me from jail time

I had another attorney who told me there was no getting around having to go to jail. Neil was hired and he immediately started gathering background information on my case. The DA refused to back down and demanded jail time. We went to court and Neil was able to explain my background to the judge from... memory because he had taken the time to prepare. In the end, the judge agreed with Neil and i didn’t get any jail time.
