Neil P Halttunen

I was arrested for DUII and hit and run. The police got a search warrant. Neil was able to get a lot of the evidence tossed out. He was also able to show that the police didn’t really know what they were doing. The prosecutor tried to take me to trial. Neil knew how to prevent the prosecutor from doi...ng his job. My whole case was dismissed.

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.

I recently had the experience of being represented by Neil, an outstanding lawyer who navigated my DUI case with exceptional expertise and determination. As a college student at OSU, facing a DUI charge was incredibly daunting, especially with graduation around the corner. From the outset, my law...yer faced considerable challenges, including a judge who were resistant to our motions and withheld crucial records. Despite these obstacles, my attorney's deep knowledge of the law and strategic acumen shone through. My case, which involved a BAC of .07, stretched over two intense days in court. Throughout it all, my lawyer stood firm, skillfully challenging the opposition and defending my rights with unwavering commitment. His adept handling of my case helped uncover a pattern of questionable DUI charges by the same officer, including a shocking instance where a woman registered a BAC of 0.0 and tested clean, yet still faced charges. These revelations have since triggered lawsuits against the police and sheriff’s departments. What impressed me most was not just his legal prowess but also his readiness to stand up for justice, to the extent that he was prepared for the possibility of being detained for his robust defense. He even informed his colleagues to be ready to bail him out on the last day of the trial, a testament to his dedication and fearlessness. Thanks to his efforts, we won the case. I am immensely grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone facing legal challenges. His ability to handle pressure and complexity, paired with his commitment to his clients, makes him a standout attorney.

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.

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.
