Why You Need a Lawyer

Child abuse cases carry a certain level of moral turpitude that other crimes don't have. As a result, people who suspect child abuse are required by law to report it, even if they don't know the details of what really happened. This usually results in Child Protective Services (CPS) being contacted and taking action right away.

I help my clients tell their side of the story by:

Working with law enforcement and prosecutors to fully understand the charges against you
Negotiating as necessary to reduce your charges or get them dropped
Finding character witnesses who can attest to your good nature
Uncovering inconsistencies in any testimony against you

Penalties for Child Abuse

Child abuse charges have the potential to cause serious harm to a person's future. If you are convicted of child abuse, you face years in prison and the frustration of having a criminal record documenting a violent crime. Your life as a parent could also suffer repercussions, including having your child removed from your home.

“Highly Recommended”
I contacted William Hall to see if he could do a modification on all 5 of my sentences. He returned my letter and set up a meeting with me and said he would take the case. Mr. Hall took my case when all other lawyers told me I had no chance of get my sentence modified. After hiring him he had me a court date within 6 months which is unheard of, he had my 5 sentences modified and out of a very tough place in 6 months. I will always be grateful to him for all his hard work and staying in contact with me and my family through out the whole process!! He was honest with everything he could do and would do. I recommend him to everyone I know that needs any legal advice!! William Hall is by far the best lawyer I have ever hired!!!

“Eastern Shore Lawyer”
Attorney Hall assisted a family member in OC. It was a very sensitive matter that Mr. Hall handled in a discrete manner which resulted in a favorable outcome. Our family remains truly grateful for the expert help Mr. Hall provided.
“Mr. Hall is the best!”
I would recommend recommend William Hall in a heartbeat. My family had two serious cases in the last two years that could have landed each person in jail. But Mr. Hall took our cases, and with his knowledge of the law and the local court system, he was able to show the court that we had made minor, but unintentional mistakes regarding the law, and that fines were the more appropriate punishment in each case...and not jail time. Not only that, but William really treated us like he cared. I can sincerely say that He is a lawyer who is not chasing the money, and really fought for me and my family in court. If we had a question, he always called us back in a timely manner. He treats you with respect no matter what. When we need legal help there, the one attorney I call on Delmarva is William Hall.
“Case closed. In and out!”
I hired William based on the reviews on avvo and I’m so happy that I did. I was not quite sure what to expect when my court date arrived. He calmed my nerves and assured me that my case would be handled easily. When I arrived in court, I think my case was less than 5 minutes. This man definitely knows what he is doing! This all took place during the COVID 19 pandemic as well. Very professional attorney. If you don’t want the truth from William, then don’t ask.

“Great service”
In the late summer of 2013 I was in a nasty case with 6 charges against me. Mr. Hall was able to bring it down to 1 charge, I could've been away for 10 years but got 2 years probation instead. During these 2 years it has been an elongated process but he was attentive and informative the entire time. He was fair in his price and overall a genuine person. He had a pleasant personality and was knowledgeable of how the court system in his area functions.

“Excellent Attorney, appropriate price, not guilty.”
William Hall provided phenomenal personal service at a reasonable rate on a very nasty speeding ticket. His representation resulted in a Not Guilty, which is always the preferred outcome. As an out of state offender attending my court date was not possible. He is a gentleman and conducts his business accordingly. I am certain he has clients that are more lucrative and yet I felt like a priority. Best attorney experience I have had and I have had a few.
“Promises Delivered”
Mr. William Hall brings you in with his warmth and friendly personality, gives you a step-by-step layout of the events to follow, and then proceeds to smash the case with flying colors. You are garunteed to come out with the best possible results. He is willing even years to come to take any follow-up questions, showing that he truly cares about his clients.

“Gladly and highly recommend William Hall”
Mr. Hall helped me to get out of a tough DWI case. When I first visited Mr. Hall, he was very attentive to my concerns, and immediately made me feel comfortable. In spite of an unfortunate situation, his help proved extremely positive throughout the whole process. I was a nervous wreck and he made me feel hopeful and let me know that he will be able to help me. On court day, he was diligent and I could feel the respect he has gained from both the judicial officials and the prosecutor. I am eternally grateful for his advise - he will help anyone who needs legal representation. He is a caring, knowledgeable, and experienced attorney.
