About

 I am a sole practitioner, having owned and operated my office since 1992. I tend to be direct and to the point which is how I would like to have someone advise me. It is not my practice to sugar coat information or to tell you what I think you want to hear. My experience has given me the insight to enable me to advise you truthfully and my background allows me to analyze a case from different perspectives, often using a unique approach to resolve your case. I have worked as a prosecutor, defense attorney, and judge. I use my experience to help you make the best decisions possible. I spent my early years as an attorney handling mostly felony criminal cases. In 1992, I included family court in my practice. I am always up to a challenge and often see the law as a giant puzzle where my expertise is finding the individual approach for every client.I enjoy my work as an attorney and thrive in the courtroom. I have a wonderful staff to help keep you informed and knowledgeable. They do a great job but rest assured, I personally offer quality representation to you. I handle DUI, drug charges, and many other types of criminal defense. I also have a strong family court practice that includes child custody, divorce, alimony, paternity, and child support cases. I can help with other litigation such as contract disputes or personal injury. If it is in the courtroom, I am the attorney for you.

Janis was so kind and helpful to me during the entire divorce process. She made the best out of a very difficult time in my life. Her staff was amazing! Every time I reached out with a question or needed advice, Janis and her staff were right there to help me. They were always prompt in sending me information and communicating with me about my case! Without question, I would recommend Janis and her staff to anyone needing legal assistance during a divorce.

Janis did an awesome job in representing me I my divorce. As a male, she guided me and counseled me on the true realities of family court! I would highly recommend her. Is she blunt? Did we bump heads? Yes, but she always had my best interest in mind. And her assistant Julie is wonderful to work with as well!

Janis is straightforward and doesn’t waste your time. She is affordable and will truly look out for your best interest. In fact, she has handled all of my Family Court needs for over 20 years...from Divorce to Child Support. She IS my go to attorney.

I was going through a divorce and needed representation. Janis and her team not only listened to my story but they were also empathetic, which meant a lot to me. The advice and guidance they provided turned what could have been a messy situation into a much less stressful and painful situation. I’m grateful for Janis and her wonderful team. I couldn’t have gotten through this situation as well as I did without them.

Janis is the epitome of a professional service provider! I can't say enough about the comfort and confidence her advice has provided to our family. Her knowledge of her field, and straightforward communications, make all the difference in the world. I highly recommend Janis Richardson Hall.

Janis Hall is an amazing attorney; from the beginning to the end of my family’s case. This case started at the worst time for our family. Janis Hall was caring, empathetic, and straight forward. She told us the truth about how it was, and what we could expect. Once Janis Hall was on our case, she was knowledgeable, organized, and worked very hard. She got us the best outcome we could ask for. Janis Hall’s staff was exemplary in there dealing with my self and my family. Janis Hall and her staff were organized, they had any paperwork, phone calls and court documents where they needed to go. Janis Hall’s fees were fair and well documented. There was a bill sent every month to show what chargers had been incurred during the month. From beginning to end Janis Hall this attorney’s office was fantastic I would recommend Janis Hall to anyone that needs a family court or criminal lawyer. I hope I never need another attorney but if my family or I do Janis Hall will be who I call. We trusted her with our future and our lives. she gave us back both our future and our lives. I can not sing her praises enough.

Janis is by far the best lawyer I have ever had- in family law and criminal law. She represented me on both levels and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcomes. She is highly knowledgeable and is a NO BS kind of lawyer. She doesn’t sugarcoat anything just to get your money either. Some may think she’s rude- but she’s not, she’s just a straight shooter- blunt and to the point. I would trust my life and my family’s lives in her hands any day. I highly recommend Janis if you want the best outcome.

Janis helped me in the best way possible! I was faced with a hard custody battle with my ex-wife and I received custody of my children with her guidance. She was friendly, to the point, professional, and she sincerely cared about my case. I even received a handwritten note at the end of my journey with her. I would recommend Janis for your legal needs. Thank you.

Has to be the worst attorney the bar ever approved. She is rude and demeaning. I was displeased with her services. She will say that she is "blunt" but that's an excuse for being just flat out disrespectful. She spoke down to me throughout the entire case and even reprimanded my parents like they were children. She is unorganized, scattered and very tardy with time sensitive items. Careless in so many ways. Over charged and double charged on multiple occasions. I would never suggest using her as a lawyer ever.
