Great service
Hired Kenneth for my mother’s traffic violation. Wasn’t sure about the distance communication since my mother residing in LA county, and him in SB, however, he took care of everything. Initial phone conversation was pretty smooth, he has explained everything and clarified when I had questions. He kep...

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...

"I have worked opposite Ken several times, and have found him to be highly ethical and focused on obtaining a good result for his client without increasing litigation costs - a rarity."
"Ken was fantastic in handling a case for me in Ventura. Moreover, he has a great personality and bends over backwards when dealing with fellow colleagues. He definitely knows his stuff!"
"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."
"Having discussed and strategized cases with Ken Hallum in past - I can attest that he knows the law, knows the ropes, and fights hard for his clients (in court and at DMV). With great success, he is committed to protecting his client's rights as though they were his own."
