Best outcome. Best advice.

I highly recommend Ken - not only did he get my case dismissed, but for his expertise and experience, his price was the best I found and he was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. Great experience and outcome. Hopefully I will never need such services again, but if I do, I will a...

Thanks for this 5-star review! Talking to a competent defense lawyer is always important when you are charged with many, serious traffic violations in Santa Barbara. You should never rely on your own knowledge or a public defender because you won’t get the best outcome possible. I am grateful that you trusted Hallum Law and that the results were most favorable for you. It's always best to know your situation and take advantage of the legal counsel that is available to you in your traffic case. If you have any more questions or someone you know might need an aggressive defense lawyer, call 805-892-6976 for a free consultation. If you're feeling in the mood, it'd be great if you could share this to our Google reviews https://bit.ly/3p8yKBO
"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."
