What makes us so good at criminal defense?

Our experience. Our founding partner, Jeffrey R. Hall has practiced law since 2004, and has a deep understanding of the complexities of criminal law. With a successful track record of defending clients against a wide range of charges, Attorney Hall is well-equipped to handle even the most challenging of cases.

His legal experience includes working as an Assistant State’s Attorney in Tazewell County, Illinois, where he prosecuted in the traffic and misdemeanor divisions, as well as the Felony Traffic Division. Because of this, he gained important, in-depth experience as an aggressive trial attorney winning most of the trials he took before a judge or a jury. 

Now, with over 20 years of experience defending the rights of individuals facing criminal charges, Attorney Hall uses that same aggressive and winning attitude to defend his clients and gain them the most favorable outcomes in their criminal cases. Likewise, he is determined to protect his clients’ rights and future while providing them personalized attention and a strong defense.

At Hall Rustom LLC, we understand that every client’s situation is unique. We take the time to listen to your side of the story, analyze all available evidence, and develop a strategic defense strategy tailored to your specific needs. We fight tirelessly to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

Criminal Law Cases

DUI Defense: 

Being charged with a DUI can have serious consequences, including license suspension, hefty fines, and even jail time. We have extensive experience defending clients against DUI charges, working diligently to protect driving privileges and minimizing the impact on life overall.

Traffic Violations: 

Getting pulled over is never a good thing, but we help put traffic tickets in the rearview mirror. Whether it’s speeding, aggravated speeding, improper lane usage, or more, we help protect driving privileges and rights.

Driver’s License Reinstatements: 

Having your driver’s license suspended or revoked is a very stressful experience. Under those circumstances, you are stuck relying on friends and family to get to work, to go to appointments, and even to go get groceries. And the Secretary of State’s process to get your license reinstated is loaded with hoops to jump through, making it nearly impossible to be successful without an attorney. Hall Rustom LLC knows the reinstatement process thoroughly, and we help numerous individuals get their licenses reinstated every year. So, whether you have a one-year suspension or are a five-year BAIID multiple offender (BMO), we can certainly help!

Drug Offenses/Unlawful Possession: 

Whether you are facing charges related to possession, distribution, or manufacturing of illegal drugs, we have the knowledge and experience to build a strong defense. Accordingly, we scrutinize the evidence and challenge any violations of your constitutional rights to ensure a fair trial.

Theft and Property Crimes: 

Accused of theft, burglary, or other property crimes? Under those circumstances, Hall Rustom LLC understands the importance of mounting a vigorous defense to protect your reputation and future. With this purpose in mind, we investigate the circumstances surrounding your case, challenge the evidence against you, and work towards a favorable resolution.

Assault and Violent Crimes: 

We work tirelessly to protect the rights and freedom of those charged with assault, battery, domestic violence, or any other violent crime. We thoroughly investigate the incident, interview witnesses, and challenge any inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case in the hope that we can get the charge reduced or dismissed.

Expungement and Record Sealing: 

Our law firm also assists clients in clearing their criminal records through expungement or record sealing. Why is this important? Because a clean record can open doors to new opportunities and a fresh start in life. To that end, we guide you through the process and help you take the necessary steps towards a clean slate.
