For over 65 combined years our firm members have represented individuals injured in all types of accidents. In addition, the firm also represents those charged with a crime.

Life is made up of choices. William Hall made a significant choice almost 50 years ago that he has never regretted. He relates, “I was approached by a scared young man who was searching for an attorney. He had been injured in an auto accident and the insurance company had denied his claim. The man made HIS choice that day by asking if I could help him. I made MY choice that day that this profession is what I wanted to pursue – aid others in bettering their circumstances whether caused by accident or being charged with a crime.” The Hall Law Firm settled the young man’s case that day for full policy limits.

When an individual makes the choice for our firm to represent him in a criminal case, he is literally trusting us with his life. This is a responsibility that is never taken lightly. A previous client had been incarcerated for an extended period of time. After choosing to hire our firm we were able to obtain a jury trial date. We do not shy from court. The case was tried and the jury returned approximately thirty minutes after their deliberation. The verdict was not guilty the defendant went home with his father and brotherthat day. Choices are indeed important.
For half a century The Hall Law Firm has represented parties in death, serious injury, and criminal matters. Our firm has a committee approach to each case where no less than three attorneys and a paralegal debate your claim or charge. This process determines the optimal approach for the success of your claim or defense. We are a local, hands-on firm with our client’s best interest at heart.
