Neil represented me in a DUI case. The facts of the case were very bad and I was looking at up to one year in the county jail. When Neil Hallinan took on my case, he told me that things would get much better and they did. When the DA wanted me to do a lot of jail time, Neil convinced them to let me get credit for doing it in an in-patient program (I was already planning on doing an in-patient program so it worked out perfectly). Neil really demonstrated compassion and wanted to get me a result that would actually help me beyond the case as well.

Neil was the second attorney that I had on my criminal case in San Francisco a few years ago. The first attorney wanted me to accept a felony conviction, but Neil said no way and advised me to fight until we beat the charges. He defended me at the preliminary hearing in my case, completely unraveled the witness’s story, and got the most serious charges dismissed. Then he told the prosecutor and the judge that we would not be taking any deal whatsoever. On the day that we were going to start trial, the DA dismissed the case against me altogether. My co-defendant got to settle her case for a misdemeanor, and even though she had her own lawyer, I think she got a better deal because Neil tore the case up so much at the preliminary hearing. Throughout the whole case, Neil was so respectful and caring, and really made the whole process as easy for me as it could be.

After a phone consultation regarding my case, Rebecca made a phone call to the city attorney, and my case was dismissed. Super grateful for her work.

Aaron spent time with me during a free consultation to help me understand my rental agreement. He was extremely knowledgable, answered all of my questions, and helped me understand the risks involved with my agreement. I had called other lawyers that didn't get back to me, didn't answer my questions, and wasted my time. Aaron did the exact opposite.

Russell and his team we’re very assertive, concerned and compassionate about my well being from the first phone call. All throughout my treatments until settlement. Super knowledgeable and easy to communicate with, helped me feel at ease about the process, & my rights. Glad I put my trust in him.

Very helpful, informative and supportive team.

Neil is diligent and hard working. He is a very seasoned and experienced courtroom attorney and is an excellent negotiator. I highly recommend Neil to anyone facing a criminal charge.

As my co-counsel in several cases, I know I can always rely on Neil's expertise and tenacity, two qualities that make him an excellent choice for anyone charged with a crime. Neil's experience in the trenches have produced a fearless advocate. You will be in good hands.

Neil Hallinan is a colleague with whom I have had first hand experience observing and working on criminal cases together. He serves his clients well and has deep experience and a life long passion for social and criminal justice.
