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.

Exhausting All Your Legal Options

While false accusations of child abuse aren't extremely common, they do happen, and you could have been a victim of one of them. No family is perfect. As your advocate, my team and I will do everything possible to get you the best possible outcome in these challenging times.

“best of the best for a reason”
Hired Mr. Hall for a dui case, a one that resulted in my car being totaled. I thought I was going to jail and Mr. Hall, through his knowledge of the courts, kept me out of there. I strongly recommend him. He is the best.

“The best there is”
My boyfriend and I got into an unfortunate situation last summer when visiting OC, MD. We were beyond scared of the repercussions from one silly night and the effects it may have on our futures. We talked to various lawyers explaining the events and trying to find the best to support us. Mr. Hall was our man for the job. Not only did he support us, listen to us, and thoroughly explain the process to us but he also recognized that one bad night did not defind our relationship or who we are as people. Mr. Hall remained in contact until the job was completely and represented us both having both our records expunged. If you want an honest man who will answer your calls, get to the best solution, and be sure your rights are fought, Mr. Hall is the man.
“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.
“Great Lawyer!”
Our son was a college student at Salisbury University and was wrongfully charged with first degree rape, which can carry a life sentence! We knew on the advice of attorneys in our hometown to find a lawyer in the area who knew the way things worked in Wicomico County. Mr. Hall was a former prosecutor so he knows how both sides think, and he knows the judges! William worked diligently on our sons case through the help of a private detective and an expert witness to prove to the state that this was not a rape case at all and had the matter resolved to a simple misdamenaor with a "time served" sentence. All the other charges were dropped! William took the time to answer our questions and and kept us updated every step of the way! He never made us feel like we were bothering him and understood how difficult this was on our family. Most importantly, he genuninely cared about our son and was able to get him his freedom back! If you ever find yourself in any kind of trouble on the Eastern shore don't hesitate to call William Hall! We're sure glad we did!

“Definitely recommend”
Me. Hall got me a great deal considering my lengthy record. I’d definitely recommend him.

“Ocean City Assault”
Mr. Hall took on a very difficult case where I was looking at active time for an incident in Ocean City. Because of his hard work and skill, and his knowledge of the judge and prosecution, I walked away with no conviction. I strongly urge you to call Mr. Hall for any of you legal needs.

“We knew what to expect- best choice in Salisbury MD/ Eastern Shore”
If you need a defense attorney, Mr. Hall is your bet choice. My son had gotten into trouble while away at college- a lot of trouble, but Mr. Hall helped our family through the process and to a very good outcome. He kept us informed, was extremely respectful, and worked with the prosecutor to get a very fair deal for my son and give him hope for the future. I did check out other attorneys in the area and had actually hired one before changing to Mr. Hall- he is the best you are going to get- period. I would recommend Mr. Hall to a family member that needed help in a minute.

- Highly Satisfied Client
“He is a great man and serves justice!!!”
Mr. Hall represented my brother. He went above and beyond. He was always in contact with my mother every step of the way never told her anything that wasn't true. My family was so nervous but once he went to action everything was at ease. He talked with the DA and had them take a look at the evidence and the charges were dropped! He is a great man and serves justice!!!
