Neil P Halttunen

Thankfully my family hasn't dealt much with court cases or attorneys. But two years ago my father was accused of some very serious charges. From the beginning Neil was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He listened to all of my fathers concerns and was available whenever he was needed. H...is honesty about everything was incredibly refreshing as he helped us move through this process. The amount of evidence alone that he went through was staggering and immense. By the time the trial came around my family felt prepared and ready thanks to Neil. He made sure my father knew all his choices available to him when the trial started. Especially understanding my fathers refusal to take any sort of a plea deal, if it was offered. He was respectful to my families religious convictions as well. The professionals/experts he brought in were very impressive, to say the least. We thought the trial was going to take two weeks, but to our relief, it only took one. A large part of that was because of Neil and his closing arguments. In the end my dad was acquitted of all the charges. It was all admirable and I can not recommend a better attorney.

A friend of mine retained Mr. Neil Halttunen as his defense attorney for a legal matter pertaining to a court ordered violation. I supported my friend throughout the process and had an opportunity to meet with and work with Mr. Halttunen on multiple occasions. Mr. Halttunen demonstrated professiona...lism and legal insight as well as applicable skills that highlighted a high degree of emotional intelligence, such as compassion and patience. Mr. Halttunen was quick to communicate and provided valuable legal insight and realistic outcomes. The terms of the violation indicated a potential sentence of six months in jail. After numerous court hearings, Mr. Halttunen challenged the notion of punitive consequences that potentially could cause more emotional, mental and financial harm, and proposed community service as well as a significantly reduced jail sentence. The outcome of the sentencing was favorable to my friend and a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety was relieved due to Mr. Halttunen’s work in, and out, of the courtroom.

My husband contacted Neil to review his case and hired Neil to represent him. Neil independently reviewed the court documents, videos of the sheriffs knocking my husband out of a chair, taking him to the ground, then tasing, punching, and choke holding my husband. He also spoke with an expert consult...ant with my husbands consent. He obtained a settlement for my husband from the Sheriffs department which we very much appreciate. Neil is not afraid to stand up to the police and hold them accountable for their actions. He communicated with both of us throughout the process and that helped us very much too. Thank you Neil!
