Ann recently represented me and my wife in a tenant/landlord dispute. Her professionalism, breadth of legal knowledge, and persistence in attending to our case led to a quick and decisive favorable resolution. As a medical professional I deal with attorneys in various capacities on a regular basis. I have to say that Ann is truly one of kind and is an absolute pleasure to work with. My wife and I never felt pressured into any decisions, yet were very well informed and counseled throughout our entire litigation. Ann was quick to answer any questions or concerns we had and was highly attentive to our needs as clients. In addition to her ability to interact with us in a professional and caring manner, she likewise approached the other party in a respectable and thoughtful fashion. We highly recommend Ann as a trusted and valued attorney!

Getting divorced is a very lengthy and horrible process generally speaking. This is why having a lawyer that understands your needs and supports you through the entire cycle is critical. Recently I received notification from Emi Koyama that she no longer wanted to represent me, just a short time prior to needing her the most – in court. Not only was the timing an issue, but the way my case was dismissed by her without regard for my personal situation or circumstances was very disappointing. I paid to have proper representation but most of all, to have someone to depend on when needed. - I obviously never received it.

Ann Geisheimer is a consummate legal professional exceptionally adept at handling complex commercial litigation matters as well as personal injury and personal disputes. She helped my family with a personal dispute in which she represented us and was able to negotiate a very reasonable settlement. We were amazed at her efficiency, her kindness and genuine approach to the issue, her ability to be tough as nails when necessary and truly an incredible advocate, as well as reasonable and most importantly efficient in negotiating the settlement. She was a pure delight to work with, obviously exceptionally knowledgeable, and a true professional. We have worked with other attorneys in the past and were treated like a cash register. I was completely dumbfounded at the reasonable rates she charged us for the incredible outcome she delivered. If you are looking for a truly exceptional attorney who is honest and trust worthy, then Ann Geisheimer is that attorney. In a time when it is hard to trust anyone, Ann Geisheimer was truthful, determined, realistic and most of all had integrity. I cannot express enough how satisfied we were with her services, and I have recommended her repeatedly to friends. We will certainly enlist her services again with our next business dispute.

I was in a car accident that was not my fault, and Ann was able to get me money in a timely manner and helped keep me informed about the process throughout the way. Ann was able to recover all of my losses, and she dealt with all matters of contacting insurance and stuff like that, so that I didn't have to and could relax and move on with life.

Ann did a very thorough and competent job of litigating on my behalf in a near fatal accident I was involved in the day before Easter last year(2016). She was successful in obtaining complete re imbursement for all damages sustained as a result of this accident including under insured and un insured coverage from my carrier due to the negligent coverage of the offending party. Having dealt with many attorneys over my 50 year business career, I would rate her competence and thorouness at the very top. Len

I've had the pleasure of retaining Hall Underwood twice (originally only for temporary orders in 2015, then again for the rest of my divorce in 2016). Words really cannot express how grateful I am for all the effort Jay and his colleagues put in to my case, because everything I've been fighting for over the past year (my kids and their future), he fought just as hard for them on his end as counsel. After the temporary orders matter settled, I ended up retaining Jay and his firm again a few months later after unsuccessfully trying to settle the rest of the issues. Opposing counsel was extremely dodgy and refused to provide mandatory discovery for months even after I retained them. They were calm and professional dealing with my ex's unreasonably difficult attorney and eventually forced them to hand over everything we needed. The most impressive part of Jay's performance was that he noticed a subtle, yet significant defect in the wording of the proposed parenting plan we received and capitalized on it, which allowed me to place the children in any school in the valley with zero restrictions and ultimately place them in the best school possible (one of the things that is EXTREMELY important to me). Needless to say, my ex wasn't very happy about that, and her attorney fought pretty hard to try to save face in the wake of his devastating blunder. He tried to back out of the agreements that we had made that were not yet binding, tried to conduct an untimely noticed and frivolous deposition, tried to make misleading arguments so I'd be the one to have to pay child support, tried rearrange the parenting time schedule, and continually threatend an award of attorney's fees if we didn't give in to his demands. Naturally, Jay knew it was all just an act and didn't fall for it. Eventually, after all the discovery was completed, Jay gave him an ultimatum. Either this case settles, or we go to trial and we'll almost certainly collect an award of attorney's fees from having to enforce the parenting plan we agreed to (which was binding pursuant to Rule 69). Needless to say, they chose the former. I really couldn't be happier with the results of my case. Not only did I get almost exactly what I wanted out of my divorce, but also my fees for the entire case were only about one-third (1/3) of what my ex paid for her attorney (hers was hourly), who has been practicing for over 30 years, and we still came out slightly ahead. I think that speaks to how amazing Jay and his colleagues are in their profession. Having dealt with a dozen or so other attorneys in my divorce, Jay and his firm is the only law firm I'll ever recommend to family and friends.

I hired Hall Underwood to represent me during my divorce and couldn't be happier with the results. My ex-wife was a relentless gold digger who tried to use my children to leverage more money from me. Her attorney wanted to fight about everything and constantly asked for ungodly sums of money in attorney's fees and alimony. My attorney shut her down in a hurry and achieved an outcome that I didn't even think was possible when we started the process. If you're looking for a "Scottsdale divorce attorney" because you have a contentious divorce and want an aggressive lawyer, you need to contact Hall Underwood. I've recommended Jay Hall and his other attorneys to everyone I know.

Excellent experience I have had with Hall Underwood, Jay and Emi have been handling my case for the past 2 years and have stayed on top of every piece of information necessary. Very affordable and over all very respectable and great client service, I highly recommend this firm for anyone looking for great representation.

I am extremely grateful to their attorneys for helping me through a stressful time and I did not have to sacrifice expertise for affordability. I will recommend this firm to anybody I know who is in need of top-notch legal representation.

I contacted Jay Hall of Hall Underwood for a civil litigation matter; I was searching for an attorney and when I emailed for general information, Jay Hall, (Managing Parner of Hall Underwood PLLC) got back to me by email within an hour, on a Sunday evening. Within 18 hours I was speaking one on one with Jay Hall, not a paralegal, and he was offering advice on what to do in my particular situation before I hired him. I have had almost unadulterated access to my attorney directly via call, email and text, without being charged for every text, call and email. I have in the past had bad experiences with every lawyer I have encountered, from other civil litigators to county attorneys with poor results. Jay Hall has redefined my definition of what a GOOD attorney REALLY IS; he is aggressive, straight forward and will not draw clients in with false promises of success and results. You owe it to yourself to contact Hall Underwood in the event you need an attorney.
