“Best DUI/DWI Lawyer..HANDS DOWN!! Mr. Hall is a ROCKSTAR! (WORTH THE READ)”
Honestly, HIRE HIM ASAP! I was a complete mess after my arrest since this was my 3rd DUI arrest but Mr. Hall is super easy going and put my mind at ease. There were some grey areas in my case and I did not blow or take the field tests but I was still expecting some probation, community service and having to wear the ankle bracelet for an amount of time but that wasn't the case! Mr. Hall walked in there like the Zorro of lawyers and tore my case apart. Slicing and dicing the prosecution providing more than enough reasonable doubt in my case that the judge had no other choice to find me NOT GUILTY! I can't recommend him enough!! Don't think about it, JUST HIRE HIM!! Thanks again, Mr. Hall!!!

“Mr. Hall saved us!”
A criminal charge is never expected by most families. The urgency, seriousness, and despair can be understood only by the people or their families who had that experience. My son was charged with a misdemeanor which had never been imagined based on his school life. Mr. Hall was strongly recommended by my trusted colleague’s spouse who is also an attorney. With a wish to grab a straw in the middle of a miserable feeling, I left a message to his staff member, a nice lady, who had always been kind and calm. He called me back in the afternoon on the same day. My first impression of him was his confidence without hesitation and knowledge. He explained the process in detail, and we met after a week. I was surprised by his insight about the key aspects of the case and whom he should contact. To me, he had eyes seeing the whole picture from above and more than a sufficient network to get the necessary information and help in my county. Moreover, he showed understanding and emotional support, which is, I believe, a rare skill to the professional who deals with the law. He treated us as respectful human beings. He told us that there was a chance that my son could receive a stet, but the verdict was leaning toward PBJ in the process. On the court day, the final verdict my son recieved was stet! A miracle happened to us. Mr. Hall did not give up the possibility of stet and tried his every effort during the painful five weeks and even in court. Like an excellent pilot in severe turbulence when passengers can have no control, Mr. Hall persistently and nicely maneuvered our case so we could survive the worst experience in our lives. My wife and I sincerely appreciate Mr. Hall for saving my son’s future and us. If my friends ask me, I will strongly recommend him without any reservations.

“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!!!

“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!

“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.
“NO CRIMINAL CHARGES!”
Trustworthy, smart and professional... The allegations against me were very scary and potentially life ruining. I am a freshly graduated Salisbury University student. I found that there were allegations of rape made against me by my coworker. I called around for help but ultimately made the right move going with Mr. Hall. William had great knowledge and advice that got my family and I to get through a tough time, and his experience with Eastern Shore and cases like mine proved to be crucial. What was a very serious and stressful situation quickly dissolved into NO CRIMINAL CHARGES against me. No criminal record, no court rooms, no nothing! Now I can get on with my life in peace. All the gratitude and thanks to William Hall. Simply the best.
“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.
“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.
