Neil P Halttunen

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!

I have hired Neil twice now to help with 2 different cases .. First one was a stalking charge that an ex boyfriend had put against my daughter. He was always available for questions , very prodessional and took care of us in a timely manner and got the case dismissed. Second time was a friend had a... restraining order filed against him by an ex girlfriend once again he was professional and made himself available to us when needed. Neil was able to prove that she was a liar and not credible and the case was dismissed .

I feel so blessed to have Neil as my attorney. My case was handled incorrectly by another lawyer and Neil took the time to review it and help me. Although I had to wait another two years (because of the court and the stipulations of my case) he made sure to contact me when my case could be reviewed. ...I went to his beautiful office and sat with him for over an hour while he helped me with my court papers. Neil called me the day after he had spoken with the district attorney and made a point to call me the next day after the judge signed my order. I will continue to use Neil for any future case and I would highly recommend him. He has always made time for me and never made me feel like my questions were irrelevant. If you want someone that will go above and beyond to help then Neil is the way to go.
