I cannot recommend Chris Van Hall highly enough. He guided me through a complicated and unexpected legal situation with professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support. When I struggled to find a local attorney, I was referred to Chris, and I couldn’t have been happier with his work. His prompt communication and clear explanations ensured that I understood all of my options and had realistic expectations. As someone who had never needed legal services before, Chris made me feel confident and supported every step of the way. His insights were invaluable, and his dedication to his clients is evident. If you need an attorney who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares, Chris Van Hall is the one to call.

Nobody wants to be in a situation where you need a lawyer, but sometimes we find ourselves wronged and in need of help. That was me. I contacted Chris through his website contact form (the ones you think go to an abyss) during the Christmas holiday and he got back to me the next morning personally. He took my case and settled swiftly, which is exactly what I needed. I think when we reach out to lawyers, we are in a vulnerable state (I know I was). And Chris was a great communicator. He was honest, caring, and kept me informed. I give him my highest recommendation. I’m very grateful for his knowledge of employment law on both side (from working inside companies and against them) and for his honest and assertive attitude to get folks what is right so they can get on with life. Thank you, Chris.

I am leaving this review not from the perspective of a client, but from the perspective of a union organizer. One of my coworkers was facing termination of employment from a governmental employer, so we decided to find her an employment attorney to fight back. Ultimately, we ended up reaching out to Van Hall, based on a referral from another legal team.

I was not directly involved in the meetings with Van Hall, or with the subsequent hearing, but I did assist a good deal with some of the email communications. I can say for sure that Chris was very responsive, detailed, and, best of all, eager to represent my coworker due to the union aspect of her case. Though the actions of our employer had made me coworker very anxious for several weeks, the representation of Van Hall instilled in her a good deal of confidence, which then transferred to the rest of the union as well. We felt that our coworker would indeed keep her job.

And she did. She had her hearing with Chris representing her, she waited several weeks for a response, and then she was informed that she would be retaining her employment. She returned to work within two days. It was incredible. I am so stoked that we decided to contact Van Hall, and I hope Chris knows that we will absolutely keep him in mind should anymore shenanigans arise with our employer and we need a lawyer.

I’m very grateful for Christopher's support throughout my case. He was professional, attentive, and made sure I understood each step of the process. Christopher was responsive and easy to work with, which made a stressful situation much more manageable. I truly appreciate his dedication and would recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Christopher did an excellent job!! He listened to my issues and put together an accurate, detailed and strong letter to my employer which resulted in a quick and fair settlement. I would highly recommend Van Hall Employment Law if you feel you need some help in any employment law issues.

I contacted Chris Van Hall to legally represent me in a dispute with my county employer. With his vast knowledge of employment law, Chris assessed my case, documented the illegal activity by my employer and negotiated a large settlement. Chris is well-versed in the treatment of government employees as he spent many years defending government employers. Due to his extensive experience as a litigator, Chris is highly regarded by his peers.

Chris vigorously defended me citing workplace violations and illegal activity that served as the impetus for the negotiated settlement. Chris was very responsive and quickly contacted me with every development in my case. Chris is very personable and professional, and despite the stressful situation, was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Chris in any dispute you might have with your employer.

I was referred to Van Hall Employment Law by another law team when I was seeking representation for a hearing with my employer. I work in the public sector and am currently part of an ongoing union campaign, so we needed exactly the right attorney who was comfortable doing employment law for public sector workers. Christopher Van Hall ended up being the exact right attorney for this. We were able to meet fairly quickly, we discussed the details of my case, and we discussed some of the potential outcomes of my hearing, such as keeping my job vs getting severance. While severance seemed a more likely bet, I told him that I really wanted to keep my job and stay with my team/union. He spelled out for me some of the things that could potentially go wrong with that, but also agreed to represent me toward that end. Within a matter of about two weeks (maybe it was much less time than that), I met with Chris, filled him in with all the information he needed to represent me, and then together we went into that hearing.

A few weeks after that hearing, I learned that, thanks to Chris' representation, I would be keeping my job. Two days after learning that, I was indeed back on the schedule and working. Throughout this whole process, Chris listened to me, was very caring and diligent, and seemed really excited by the prospect of representing me in this hearing, given the union aspect of it all. I cannot recommend Van Hall Employment Law enough, and I know my union is going to keep him on speed dial going forward!

I retained Van Hall Law for a niche records case involving a powerful city entity and the complexities of Colorado Open Records (CORA) laws. From the moment Christopher Van Hall took my call, I knew he was the right attorney for my case. Unlike the six other law firms I contacted—who shied away upon hearing my case involved city government—Chris immediately showed genuine interest and confidence in his ability to handle the issue. His expertise and experience were evident from the start.

Christopher Van Hall is not your typical lawyer; he approaches his work with a level of dedication and passion that is truly unique. After thorough case research and advocacy on my behalf, Van Hall Employment Law successfully WON my case against the City.

I highly recommend Van Hall Employment Law if you face legal challenges with an employer, government agency, or civil rights issues. The firm is also refreshingly transparent about legal fees, offering various services and pricing options that cater to different needs. Don't let financial concerns deter you from pursuing your rights—Van Hall Law will stand by you every step of the way.
