Attorney Ben Hall

https://g.co/kgs/ukDLWT

A review from my client who was found NOT GUILTY! Very happy for him and much appreciative for the extremely kind words.

The best decision was to switch from another law firm to Kirsch Daskas.
Mr. Ben Hall did such an amazing job from the first consultation to the very last minute of the trial. He went above and beyond.

Ben is the best attorney. His experience as former police and prosecutor provides him with a full panorama of the other parties' perspectives and gives him a great advantage over other defense attorneys.

Ben is not only a very experienced attorney and highly knowledgeable of the law, but most importantly, treats you as a human whose life could literally could be on his hands. You are not a bill or just another client. Ben goes above and beyond even to a personal level to defend you.

There are no words to describe what Ben did. We faced a difficult trial with all odds against me. However, Ben was always anticipating every potential roadblock or scenario. He was extremely prepared, very strategic and aggressive when he needed to be. He never let the court intimidate him despite how difficult that district court is. From the very beginning, Ben was always looking at all potential alternatives and solutions with backup plans to be ahead of the game.

Ben was always available for me, clearly and transparently communicating status, strategy, challenges and next steps. There are no words to describe the effort, energy and motivation he put into my case to defend me.

I am truly thankful of what he did to get a positive outcome. He did his best until the very last minute. I'm very thankful to him

So it's been just over a year since I left the prosecutor's office and a few weeks ago (I told you I rarely get on here!) I had my first trial as a defense attorney.
After a 2-day, extremely contentious trial, where day 2 was heavily stacked against my client (the judge made rulings that were just so clearly against the state of the law), the jury was out for 56 minutes and returned a verdict of NOT GUILTY!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't even begin to explain the weight of responsibility where an innocent person trusts you with their life and freedom. I was so relieved that my client was able to walk out of the courtroom with all of this behind him.

Hey everyone, I don’t get on Facebook much, but wanted to give an update as to what’s been going on for the last year. Last month was the one-year mark of leaving the prosecutor’s office and for the first time in my life, working in the private sector.

I thought I would give you an update as to what’s been going on for the last year with people and groups I’ve represented. This is not a bragging session, but are examples of what can happen when you have an attorney who is passionate about what they do and isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo.

If you have a case where other attorneys said no, or a case where you want to go to trial, give me a call to talk about how I can help. Most of the cases we take are trial-type cases.

- Criminal defense
o Took over a case where client charged with possession of methamphetamine was told from her prior attorney that she had to accept the offer of a 4-year felony was the only option. Once I got involved, I challenged the search and told the elected prosecutor handling the case that if she wanted to resolve the case without trial, it would be to an improper license plate. The prosecutor laughed at me. On the day of the evidentiary hearing, we had the case resolved with a plea to improper license plate and assessed fines and costs.

o Mother charged with domestic violence for grabbing her teenage daughter’s arm while directing the daughter to her bedroom because the daughter was out of control. There was no injury and the daughter admitted she was out of control. This was a case of absolute reasonable parental discipline and an overzealous prosecutor’s office. I was able to get the charge dismissed in a county where once they issue charges, they have a policy that they will not dismiss the case. It took three levels of supervision to get the case dismissed, but the right outcome was achieved.

o Charges dismissed for a client who was fired from his state job and charged with stalking after a comprehensive review of the evidence proved no crime occurred and that the client was likely wrongfully terminated (that aspect is still being litigated).

o Charges dismissed for a client charged with a 10-year felony for strangulation after the police failed to conduct any sort of investigation.

o Charges dismissed for a client who was charged with depositing a blank envelope.

o Client under investigation for stealing from a store and was able to prevent charges from being issued.

o Client charged with destruction of property and after we conducted a thorough investigation and determined that we would go to trial, the prosecutor agreed to resolve the case with a civil infraction.

o Client had three cases and when we forced a trial on all three, the prosecutor dismissed them all.

o Client charged with retail fraud and confessed to police. Client pled guilty to trespassing (which isn’t abnormal), but I was able to get the client sentenced to fines and costs only which is not something that is typically done.

o Client charged with lying to police. Prosecutor said there would be no offer. I filed a motion to dismiss arguing the local ordinance was preempted by state law and the prosecutor dismissed the case.

I am currently representing clients charged with:
-assault with intent to murder
-strangulation
-carrying a concealed weapon
-indecent exposure
-accosting a child for immoral purposes
-possession of co***ne
-felonious assault
-embezzlement

- Public body
o Wrote an ethics opinion letter to a school board regarding the school board president (also an attorney) violating the rules of professional conduct which played a key role in defeating a ballot measure proposed by the district.

- Family law
o A father went from having only supervised visits and paying child support for years to having 50% custody and the mother owing him child support every month.

o Had a mother held in contempt for violating a court order which requires major medical decisions to be agreed upon by both parents when the mother forced the kids to get a COVID vaccine without the father’s permission; the mother also had to pay attorney fees.

o Took over a highly contested divorce case after another firm withdrew where the client was about to agree to a settlement of under $10,000 and the most absurd parenting time provisions I’ve ever heard of. Instead of rolling over to the opposing attorney, I took the fight to him and was able to obtain a $50,000 cash settlement, plus property, and much more favorable parenting time conditions.

o Represented foster parents who were told by the foster care worker that they had no rights. I was able to defeat opposition of my participation in the case and provided accountability to a system where too often attorneys and judges/referee’s rubber stamp the foster care worker’s recommendations and don’t insist on proof.

Had a client walk out of jail today a free woman!

A couple months ago, my client hired me to represent her after her court appointed attorney told her the best she can get is a 4 year felony. Her attorney told her that she’s just going to have to take the deal. This was unacceptable and my client hired me.

My client was charged with a 10 year felony and as soon as she hired me, we went to work. Before I even took the case, I knew there was an issue with the search. We dug deep into the search, the “justification,” and we reviewed all of the video to find that there was more to the story than what the prosecutor was telling us. So we got more police reports and more evidence. I did what should’ve been done before, and filed a motion to suppress.

On the morning of the hearing (today), the prosecutor agreed to resolve the case with a 90 day misdemeanor to a license plate violation. Within two hours, my client walked out a free woman.

She went from being told she’s going to have to take a felony to walking out of jail after paying a fine. I’m very happy for my client and she is now able to put this behind her.

And for your viewing pleasure, this is Lola at Christmas.

If you are a police officer and are facing an internal investigation, a criminal investigation, or a lawsuit, please contact me to discuss your rights! Don’t wait until you’ve already been charged or sued.

Police officers face an impossible task. They must protect the public when, especially today, they are a target of the public. Over the last few years, we have all seen police officers charged for on-duty conduct. A few times those charges are justified. The majority of the time it’s not.

Especially today, police departments are quick to wash their hands of an officer when they get into a jam.

Some unions have partnerships or additional coverage that if you are charged, sued, or investigated, you can select your own attorney and have your union pay for it! This is true even if your department provides an attorney if you are sued.

When your career, freedom, or job is on the line, you want someone to have your back and trust that they are someone who has faced what you face, who has worn the badge, who has sworn to protect this country and this state.

I've got your six!

Did you know that your union may or may not protect you if you’re charged with a crime or sued for something that happened while on duty? Each union contract is different, so ask your rep. But keep in mind, many union contracts also have NO duty to represent you if they deem the best interest of the union is better served by cutting you loose. And then you're out on your own.

A divorce is one of the most difficult times people go through. They are also one of the most expensive in terms of not just money, but emotional and overall health.

The more you and your spouse can agree on things, the cheaper it will be. That's why it's always recommended that you try to get agreements on as much as you can. Sometimes there are reasons to dig-in and fight. But to do it out of spite and anger is just nonsense and you'll regret it after things cool off.

If you or someone you know is going through a divorce, never try to do it on your own. Always consult with an attorney.

Now it's easier to send Attorney Ben Hall a message.

Did you know a will is something every married adult or adult with kids needs to have (of course, if you have a significant estate even if you're unmarried and no kids, you need a will). A will can be very expensive and cost-prohibitive for many people. There are online services out there that lets you plug in some information and it spits out a will. This is perfectly fine for some people and circumstances, but this is a cookie-cutter approach that doesn't work for everyone in all situations.

If you don't have a will and have been thinking about it, please contact me and let's talk about the benefits and how I can help you and your family. You don't have to live near me, we can do everything over video or phone.
