After going through a year of divorce negotiations, including 3 unsuccessful mediations, Hal was a GODSEND. Within 48 hours of retaining Hal, my divorce was settled. I cannot say enough good things about Hal. He has an extensive knowledge of Family Law, and he was able to apply that knowledge to thespecifics of my complicated case. In an effort to save me money, Hal was able to review all of the details of my case in a very reasonable amount of time, and give me a thorough, but understandable (!), explanation of how the law applies to my specific case. When I asked him for his opinion on how to proceed at various crossroads, he would give me his honest answer and good reasons to support his answer, and still respect whatever choice I made. He is incredibly easy to contact by phone, text, or email with his almost immediate response times. I have never worked with a lawyer like Hal before. I am so glad to know him, and I have already referred him to some friends.

Hal represented me for my divorce, and he exceeded all of my expectations. I started the process almost 2 years ago after retaining another lawyer which didn’t do much to move along the process. I then retained Hal in November of 2023, and he went above and beyond to make sure the process went smoothly and walked me through everything to ensure I understand what was going to happen. My divorce was finalized May of 2024 and it was the best case scenario, thanks to Hal. I would highly recommend Hal Hale to represent you as an attorney.

A friend of mine recommended Hal after my friend went through a tough divorce with joint custody. I expected a difficult joint custody battle and wanted a lawyer who was willing to fight. Hal was always very knowledgeable, direct, professional, and polite. He politely but directly let me know exactly why some of the things I wanted were inconsistent with Texas law. He also set expectations of mediation and if we had to go to court. Hal's ability to read people is even greater than his knowledge of the law. He was up front and honest about billing and everything went as we initially discussed. Hal and his team were very fair and accurate with the billing. When I contacted them they always answered my questions directly and did not keep me on the phone longer than I was willing to talk and they never contacted me unless it was necessary. When I asked Hal about opposing counsel he answered me honestly of their abilities, helping to set expectations. Due to Hal's advice, ability to read and accommodate me, the outcome was favorable to myself and child. I will use him in the future, if necessary.

After a free consultation, Mr. Hale quickly formulated a plan to protect the best interests of my children and myself. Mr. Hale was aggressive, very strategic and extremely knowledgeable in his field. After numerous hearings, Mr. Hale was able to hand over several losses to the opposing counsel. Mr. Hale is an outstanding attorney and I would recommend him to any person needing assistance in family law. You will not be disappointed.

When first I sought legal representation for my divorce, I was scared and had virtually no hope that I could find someone adequately equipped to deal with my particularly complex case. Mr. Hale quickly assuaged my fears and removed any doubt with his self-assuredness, compassion, swift and accurate evaluation of a very tangled and torturous situation, and with his resoluteness. It was clear that Mr. Hale not only possesses legal expertise; he also possesses a keen understanding of the intricate psychological dynamics which accompany the divorce process as well as an uncommon kindness. I left that initial consultation feeling a sense of relief and hope,and even some empowerment. Mr. Hale's communication skills are excellent. He is highly articulate and never fails to truly listen. Moreover, he does so with the utmost of patience and respect. I cannot overstate how much I appreciate that. Also, Mr. Hale is always willing to answer questions and address any and all concerns. He has never once rushed me along because of a busy schedule. Mr. Hale's excellent communication skills did not extend only to me. He has been more than proficient in dealing with opposing counsel and has fought aggressively, in an appropriate manner, and tirelessly on my behalf. Mr. Hale exercises careful and critical thought before arriving at any given conclusion or rendering any necessary judgment or corresponding plan of action. So often, I would bombard him with massive quantities of information and/or far too wordy communications. Whereas I, more often than not, felt overwhelmed with all the information and struggled to determine what was necessary, Mr. Hale had a remarkable ability to filter through it all and pull out the most salient pieces. His analytical skills truly amaze me. How anyone can absorb such large quantities of information is difficult for me to comprehend. I admire Mr. Hale greatly. for not only is he exceptionally bright and extremely talented at what he does, he is a man of unequalled integrity whom provided me limitless support, encouragement, and compassion throughout the most difficult time of my entire life. I do not possess words sufficient to express the depth of my gratitude for Mr. Hal Hale and his single-minded dedication to me as a client and as an human being. Nor, can I recommend such an exceptional man highly enough. No individual could not consider themselves extremely fortunate to have this great man as one's attorney or as one's friend.

Hal was great to work with! He was quick, responsive, and knowledgeable. Divorce is a stress full time and having a trusted resource to guide me through the process made it much easier. I highly recommend Hal if you are considering or going through a divorce.

Mr. Hal Hale was court appointed Amicus Attorney in my divorce and child custody case. He is remarkably honest, sharp, analytical and to the point attorney. When you meet him, you will find that he speaks less but listens and evaluates more. He is rational and intelligent. He prepares very well for his cases and present himself in a daring and super aggressive manner in the court room which you can’t predict during your meetings with him. Although, there were so many ups and down in my case but I really appreciate that Mr. Hale was fair to all the parties and at the same time, he was thinking only the best outcome for my children whom he was appointed to represent by the court.

The roller coaster of events you experience when you go through legal action can be daunting for anyone. This is particularly true when events and proceedings may dramatically effect you financially or impact the well being of the ones you love the most. Hal Hale quickly grasped my situation, separated what was meaningful from the noise, and built a relationship that calmed my fears in a manner which allowed me to focus on what mattered. Hal made sure I understood the legal process, timing of events and the considerations I could impact vs. those driven by background law. At all times I felt educated and comfortable with the ability to influence decision making while having an anchor of sound legal advice at my side. When necessary, I received direction that cut through emotion and protected my future and that of my loved ones. Additionally, I appreciated that Hal understood the importance of working with the other parties for the benefit of the family as a whole. In the unfortunate circumstance a personal friend would need a family attorney, I would not hesitate to recommend Hal Hale.

Mr Hale and his associates have beyond exceeded my expectations. He is kind and attentive. He listened to every single one of my concerns and listened when I cried in his office. He was patient and gave truly wonderful advice. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who asked me. He made me feel like family and took my daughter's and my needs and made them happen. I won't go anywhere else. He is incredible. He handled my case with speed and care. He was professional and had advice every time I needed it. 20/10 top performance.

Hal Hale and team has been a continued hired advocate for me and my family since 2015. Hal draws a realistic and customized strategy to approach your case based off facts, what to expect from the system and an accountable fee structure based on a timeline that makes sure your costs do not run wild, nor takes advantage of you when you have emotionally committed to defending life's most precious gift, your family and kids. Hal is the type of person, not just an attorney you want to hire, but rather the person you want to be in your corner as he continually fights for your rights. Hal and his entire team's key component like in family is their communication, which is prompt and diverse in many forms to make sure you are always informed of the latest updates or if they are needing feedback to accomplish another task. In addition, Hal establishes a continued presence upfront and throughout the case which leads to a more cohesive relationship to accomplish both our objectives and you the client never feeling in the dark. Hal extensively preps in collaboration with yourself in the beginning to accomplish his ability to maneuver in your best interests; therefore Hal nor you end up having to react to something in the case. Hal is accountable, "skin the game" no non-sense approach, and yes sympathetic, a rare trait, if you find yourself faced with having to possibly defend from repeated unmitigated selfness and greed. Hal and the overall team takes pride in providing a voice for your family and defending kids, Hal furthers this notion and sympathy as an amicus. I would recommend Hal and his team regarding representation of any family matters.

I leveraged Hal based on referral from a friend and it was a fantastic experience. Hal was really good at giving me frank and candid feedback. He always gave me options and the pros and cons for each approach. When meeting with my wife's lawyer he was extremely diplomatic and the feedback I got from my wife afterwards was "Wow you have a really good lawyer!". Finally, his pricing ended up being very fair and I was extremely happy with the overall results. My goal for these divorce proceedings was to make sure both parties walked away feeling they got a fair deal and we were able to achieve that goal. Hal was able to put me in a position to successfully co-parent going forward and that is as good as it gets when it comes to divorce!

Hal has guided me through several very difficult, stressful legal matters. His abilities of negotiating, reasoning, and critical thinking are second to none - he will determine the best options/solutions for the situation and pursue them by all available means. I am so blessed to have such a dedicated attorney who genuinely cares for his clients fighting for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with issues of family law.
