Highly recommend Ken Hallum

I reached out to Ken Hallum regarding a traffic citation I had received. Due to the circumstances that led to my citation, I wasn't sure if it would be worth taking the matter to court and wanted an expert opinion. I filled out the contact form on his website, immediately received an email and respo...nded with a summary of the incident, along with a video from the camera on board my motorcycle. Ken sent me a message within a couple hours and let me know he would review the case and get back to me. We scheduled a call a couple days out and he was able to provide me with constructive feedback on how to handle my citation (as well as what not to do). Ken was amiable and honest, providing me with favorable options, should I attempt to contest my citation. Although he advised me that it would be in my best interest to take the traffic school route, I'm very appreciative of his time in reviewing my case. No one likes receiving traffic ticket, but it does happen and sometimes it's helpful to receive an expert opinion, such as Ken's. I'll most likely need legal representation again at some point due to my two wheeled endeavors and the inability to not "poke the bear". Without a doubt, I'll be reaching out to Ken Hallum and recommending him to friends and family.

Thanks for the recommendation Travis. A traffic ticket can lead to lasting consequences if not handled competently. It is almost always worth your while in the long run to consult a traffic ticket lawyer about your case, and I am honored that you reached our to me, I'm glad that you've trusted Hallum Law for your legal representation and that you took the time to share your experience. For traffic ticket help, call 805-892-6976. It would be much appreciated if you could add to my Facebook reviews too https://www.facebook.com/SantaBarbaraLawyers/reviews

Kept my record clean!

I'm forever grateful. He is very knowledgeable of the local court system & following his every recommendation got me off of what would have been my first ticket (not seeing a stopped school bus). Do not hesitate to fight your ticket, he's definitely got your back. Thank you for keeping my record clea...n!

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. Ken was the first attorney I did any legal work with. He is very knowledgeable about the criminal side of the law and I'm sure his years in law enforcement and working for the courts helped before he became an attorney! Ken is direct and honest, he won't mislead a client. He's thorough and completely competent when it comes to DUIs or any other criminal type issue."
