Was opposing counsel for my now ex-wife, so… take with as many grains of salt as you’d like.
Two things are relevant if you’re interested in hiring this firm.
First, they LOVE to bill.
For example, they put me through a four hour deposition (the legal maximum in Arizona) and they subpoenaed all of my communications with my accountant, ever.
You might think this means they “fight” and “look out for their client’s best interests,” but… four hour depositions for low net worth cases are bizarre and my accountant hadn’t seen a subpoena like this in over 20 years of practice.
More to the point, nothing discovered either during the deposition or from my accountant was remotely relevant to the case. It was a fishing expedition, a waste of God only knows how much money.
Similarly, communications that could have been handled without attorneys or through an informal exchange of emails came through frequently, often with elaborately drafted – and I can only assume, VERY expensive – letters attached.
The extravagant and unnecessary communications stopped when my attorney informed Hallier-Stearns that we had been compiling a file of unreasonable litigation in advance of seeking attorneys fees at trial.
The end result of all of this “Cadillac” legal activity?
My ex-wife got precisely NOTHING she was fighting for.
What she was asking for was patently unreasonable, there was zero percent chance at any point she was going to get sole custody or any of her other wild asks. A good attorney would have told her this. In fact, she fired a lawyer for telling her this two years ago, then went shopping for an attorney who told her what she wanted to hear.
Two years, tons of money spent, she got absolutely nothing she was after. Not a single thing.
The other thing you should know, particularly given Angela Hallier’s “pound of flesh” comment referenced by another reviewer is that she asked me, during the four hour deposition, if I was comfortable with my child being around my girlfriend because my girlfriend is Jewish.
A picture certainly begins to form of who might be uncomfortable around Jews, and it’s not me.

I spoke to Angela and Tabetha today for the first time. After our conversation, they put my mind at ease. I was told about Angela 2 years ago and was hesitant to retain her because of my finances. After going with another attorney and not getting the outcome, I decided to reach out to her. She and her team made excellent points that my attorney failed to address. She is honest and will fight for you and, most importantly, the best interest of your children.

I needed counsel on a situation that I didn’t have the knowledge or understanding to deal with. I feel so fortunate and grateful for Angie Hallier. She was incredibly responsive, empathetic, and thoughtful in her approach and was able to help me resolve my situation.

Angela is very professional and excellent. Her dedication to law and my divorce is everything I could expect and want from an attorney. She was very kind and understanding of my situation and highly recommend her.

I’ve had Angela Hallier represent me in my child custody case and she went above and beyond for me and my children. I won full custody and she changed my children’s life for the better and I couldn’t be more grateful to her. The amount of hard work and love she put into this case and my family is unprecedented and I couldn’t ask for a more beautiful person to represent my families well being.
