When I called the office of Harold Hakala back in 2011, I was speaking with the secretary and explained her my situation a little bit, She said to me "Do not worry, he's the Best, he's very Good". Those were her exact line of words. Normally you would think oh she's obviously saying that because she works for him duhhhhhh. But the way she said it gave me full confidence in her words without meeting him yet. When I came down to meet Mr. Hakala (Skip), I automatically felt the warm welcoming and relief that this BS position I'm in will get resolved if I retained him. Like My title said "Wrong place Wrong Time", so I knew I needed a great defense attorney that would work round the clock for the retainer asking. I proceed on hiring Skip. Skip immediately started working on my case while in his office. That even made me felt a little relief. To cut to the chase, if your in need of a Criminal defense lawyer well skip is the #1 lawyer I would recommend to anyone. The way Skip handled my defense was amazing. It very hard sometimes to defend yourself when your somewhere your not suppose to be even if your not caught committing a crime, but Skip was able to prove to the court that even if i was guilty than commonwealth is still wrongfully at fault. Knowing two options of defense would sill result to a dismissal was even more amazing. I've sent many friends and family over to Skip. Skip has helped them through their situations. Skip Always answer his cell phone or return calls. Skip will visit his clients who are locked up who just wants an update on their cases or just want a visit to feel a little hope just knowing their lawyer is working out their still for them. I've known Skip for 7 years now and throughout the years I can always call Skip with any concerns or questions. My case was dismissed years ago but Skip still remains on my speed dial, which I don't plan on ever needing to personally use unless calling to say Hello Skip or Hey Skip I sent a Client over to you!!!

I have known Skip for the past 8 years. He has represented my family in 2 cases, and currently representing us on a case now. He beat our previous 2 cases with flying colors. He is an impeccable attorney, and works hard for his clients. He's honest, keeps you well informed, professional , and is well know in the courts. He gives his best with every case, and truly cares about his clients. Skip is not money hungry like other attorneys. He will work with you and your financial situation, and will do his best work. Skip is not only our attorney he has now become family. ANYONE seeking a criminal defense attorney should look no further. Harold "Skip Hakala will definitely get the job done and is worth every penny spent. I would recommend him to my friends, family, and strangers! He is the best in Boston!!. When you're being represented by Skip, the courts know they are in for a fight!!! I love Skip and would NEVER seek criminal defense from ANY other lawyer! EVER! I will spend my last dime for Skip to represent me, because I know I am hiring the ABSOLUTE best!

I met Mr. Hakala over 15 years ago I was in a lot of troubling facing a lot of time. I was young scared and had 5 young children at the time. A man who got me in all this mess and then left me holding the hot torch on my own. He introduced me to Mr. Hakala gave him a down payment and disappear. I didn't know how I was going to pay him the rest of the money which was more then I had. Mr. Hakala assured me that he would work with me and help me out in every possible way. I could since the sincerity in his heart. Mr Hakala went above and beyond what I expected and what I paid him for. I am so thank-ful to have had a lawyer who cared more about his cleint then his money. Mr. Hakala not only beat my case unfortnatley my 8 year old son passed away during that time Mr. Hakala paid the balance I owed on my son's head stone how thought-ful can an attorney be. I named my last child Kala as a tooken of my love and appreciation towards Mr. Hakala. This was strictly business. However I felt compelled knowing the length he went for me. I'm still in touch with him and have referred several family and friend to him. I'm proud to say I have not been in any trouble since and have no plans on getting in any. Mr. Hakala is the best.
