Hall Law Personal Injury Attorneys – Standing For People in Need
Our Mission
With a team of trial lawyers counted among the very best in the state, we make it our mission to stand up for people just like you, our neighbors, and friends throughout Minnesota.
We make it our mission to help you win.
- “We will stand for people who’ve been injured and need help. We will stand for fairness. We will do what’s right.”
~Michael Hall, III, 2021 Attorney of the Year
Our Philosophy
Honesty, Integrity, and Excellence. As a legal team, we are guided by these three core principles.
At its core, personal injury law is about fairness and justice. It is about taking a wrong and setting it right, and it is about fighting to overcome the defense entities that can stand in the way of a fair result.
We recognize that most of our clients have been harmed through no fault of their own, and most of our clients are competing against a defense that is willing to go to great lengths to avoid responsibility and minimize the harm they have done.
Thus, in the context of personal injury law, “being honest, doing what is right, and doing so with excellence” means we fight fair, but we fight hard, and we fight to win.
Award-Winning Injury Lawyers in Minneapolis, MN
Winning cases is exactly what we do. Since joining the firm in 2006, firm leader, Michael Hall, III has worked relentlessly to build the best team of personal injury trial lawyers in the state of Minnesota. The personal injury team now boasts four trial lawyers who have been named “Attorney of the Year” by Minnesota Lawyer.
The trial team’s track record speaks for itself. Since 2006, the firm’s win-loss success rate is second to none in the personal injury field, averaging more than 3.6 million dollars per jury verdict.
Our goal is to get the best result possible on every case we handle. Our firm is designed for success, not speed. Quick results come at a discount. Top results take time and effort. At Hall Law, we are selective about the cases we take. To that end, we accept only those personal injury cases that have substantial merit. Then, once we take a case, we do everything in our power to bring that case to the very best resolution possible.
Three Generations of Leadership in Personal Injury Law
At Hall Law, the practice of personal injury law is in our blood. The Hall family has been practicing law in Minnesota for more than 90 years. After immigrating from Germany, Matthew Hall settled in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where he started the Matthew Hall Lumber Company.
Matthew was the father to a large family, which included his son Lawrence M. Hall (aka “Duck”). Lawrence was born in 1908. He attended Cathedral High School in St. Cloud, then St. John’s University in Collegeville. Lawrence went on to obtain his law degree from Georgetown University Law School in Washington D.C.
After his return from Washington, Lawrence founded the law firm Hall & Byers, which eventually became Hall, Byers, Hall & Hanson. Lawrence quickly became involved in politics, and in 1934, he was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives. In 1939, Lawrence was named Speaker of the House. He was one of the youngest Speakers in Minnesota history, and he served five terms, longer than any other person had until that time.
Lawrence left the Legislature in 1949 and became a lobbyist and legal counsel for the Minnesota Wine and Spirits Institute, which represented the state’s large liquor wholesalers. He was considered one of the most influential lobbyists in the Legislature. He was named chairman of the Metropolitan Airport Commission in 1953 by Republican Governor C. Elmer Anderson.
He was reappointed to the post through the years by both Republican and DFL governors. In the late 1960s, Lawrence led the drive to establish a second major Twin Cities airport near Ham Lake in Anoka County. The Ham Lake effort faltered after Lawrence became ill and had to resign in 1972. Lawrence passed away in 1973.
- “Strong people stand up for themselves. . . Stronger people stand up for others”
Our Founder
Personal Injury Attorney Mike Hall Sr.
Mike Hall Sr., Lawrence Hall’s only son, was born and raised in St. Cloud, MN. Mike attended Cathedral High School and then St. Thomas College in St. Paul, MN. Mike went on to obtain his law degree from the University of Minnesota in 1969.
In 1970, Mike joined his father, Lawrence, at the Hall & Byers firm. Mike served as the St. Cloud City Prosecutor from approximately 1970 through 1975. During that period, he also conducted criminal prosecutions on behalf of Stearns County. He acted as legal counsel for LeSauk Township from 1973 through 1979. He served as counsel for the St. Cloud Catholic Diocese from 1973 through 1978.
In 1979, Mike left Hall & Byers to form what is now the law firm of Hall Law Personal Injury Attorneys Since 1979, Mike has increasingly focused on litigating personal injury cases on behalf of people who need his expertise. As the firm’s leader for more than 30 years, Mike set a standard of excellence in the firm’s foundation.
By way of example, Mike Sr. is the lawyer primarily responsible for securing several of the firm’s most impressive multi-million-dollar results in the firm’s complex and high-profile product liability cases. As the firm’s founding member, Mike Sr. continues to contribute to helping the entire team with his guidance and expertise.
