Best outcome. Best advice.
I hired Ken to help me contest a speeding ticket I received while driving through Central California. He is very knowledgeable about the laws and knows the local legal landscape. He provided the best course of action and followed through with the local court. My ticket was dismissed and consideri...

Case dismissed!
Had a pretty severe speeding ticket and I was dead to rights. Ken helped me craft a defense in court and the officer responded with a hilariously detailed account of why I was guilty. My wife and I had a good laugh -- I was absolutely cooked. But somehow, after a few months of persistence (I prett...

Don't try to handle it alone, hire Ken Hallum.
I live in Nevada and received a speeding ticket coming home from Santa Maria, Ca. I was doing 79 mph in a posted 55 mph. I reached out to Ken and he returned a call back to me within about an hour. He explained all possible outcomes for my ticket, did not guarantee any outcome, but was confident he...

Help with a Traffic Ticket
I was pulled over for speeding on US-101 Northbound between Santa Barbara and Buellton for going 70 in a 65. I called Ken the same day and laid out the options I had. I decided to fight it, and he contacted me a month later letting me know we had won with a not guilty verdict. Couldn't have been happ...

Great work - Highly Recommend!
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...

"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."
