Highly Recommend – Exceptional Attorney

Neil was referred to us by a trusted friend to help a loved one in a very unfortunate situation. From the start, Neil displayed outstanding professionalism and a deep understanding of the law. His ability to draft strong pleadings and his preparedness for every possible scenario gave us confidence th...roughout the process. In the courtroom, Neil was extraordinary—calm, strategic, and persuasive. His command of the facts and the law was impressive, and he handled every moment with precision. Thanks to Neil’s efforts, the judge ruled in our loved one’s favor. We are incredibly grateful and would hands down recommend Neil to anyone in need of skilled, dedicated legal representation.

Fantastic Lawyer

I hired Mr. Halttunen to defend me in a case involving driving. It was clear from the start, that he knew how to find the defense and where the weakness was in the prosecutors case. I know through other people that Mr. Halttunen gets good results at trial in cases that are seemingly impossible to win.... I can’t help but think the DA eventually dismissed my case because of Mr. Halttunens success rate at trial.

Awesome defense lawyer

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.

Court

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

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
