Neil P Halttunen

I had 4 criminal charges. I hired Neil to represent me after having a negative experience with my first attorney. He worked on my case for 11 months. From the first call I made until my verdict, I knew I was in good hands. The experience that lead me to need Neil's legal expertise was the most distre...ssing and emotional experiences of my life. It was part of a cascade of events that lead to a second legal case (family law)for which he referred me to his partner. If you are reading this, I imagine you are experiencing an adverse life event, like I did. Save yourself from suffering more than you have to and just hire him now. (If you're lucky, you'd have his number before ever actually needing it. Write it down now and put it in your wallet. As a matter of fact, write it down and just give it out to anyone you care about. I will hope you never need to use it). I was not my best version of myself and most reasonable people can understand how stress effects us. Neil never made me feel unreasonable or burdensome, he never made me feel like he didn't have time for me. He was prompt to respond and kept me informed. I have no legal experience. I work in the medical field. No question asked or Google-search rumination was wrong/bad, no matter how many times I needed to ask or how long I perseverated. Lawyers, in my experience, have a stereotype of being aggressive, detached, unkind, dishonest, walking around in expensive suits and charging exorbitant rates. I mention this because, at the end of our meetings, once we got the business out of the way. Neil would genuinely level with me, like a real human being, and ask me how I was doing and how everything else was going. He was supportive, encouraging, and acknowledged how hard this all was. He would share personal experience and encouraged me to take care of myself and focus on what really mattered-my child. He was well prepared for court. His notes appeared well organized and thought out. He anticipated the arguments from the other side and was prepared to make his arguments in response; I never questioned his familiarity with my case. His presence in court was cool, calm and collected. I felt well prepared for trial and knew that he was providing me with the best defense. I had a suppression hearing, a hearing to modify my release agreement and a trial. I had decisions not in my favor. I misplaced my frustration toward Neil and he was an abject professional. He continued to hear me out and work towards making sure I was getting what I felt I needed. In my trial, Neil continued to exceed my expectations. He connected with the courtroom in a way that brought comfort, humanity and empathy to the experience. I would suggest his representation to anyone and have zero reservations about it. Neil, I feel I can't adequately express, how grateful I am for you, your time, your hard work and your expertise. You deserve all the stars, not just 5.

This attorney was hired by our daughter nearly a year ago. He worked diligently on her case and today we got the best results due to Neil’s skills and knowledge of the law. He is especially skilled at laying out the case for a jury so they can follow and understand it, then he pulls it all together ...clearly in his closing remarks.

I have had the opportunity to work with Neil on a case and saw how he goes the extra mile to fight for his clients. He makes sure there is no rock unturned, by finding the experts needed to assist him with getting all the information to build the complete picture. If I was in need of an attorney, I... would hire Neil and know I am well represented.

Neil is not afraid to stand up to the courts and fight for what’s right he stood by my side threw the hole case and I never had any doubt about him it’s tough hiring an attorney but when I saw Neil’s review I figured I’d give him a try and I found that he is very honest and respectful we stuck to our... guns in the case and we won he is very intelligent and not afraid to stand up to the courts if I ever run into any trouble again Neil is my only choice and he is very reasonable and not out to make big money very reasonable and respectful
