Emi was great, was always available to answer any questions I had. Always kept me informed what was going on with my case. I highly recommend

The most friendliest, sincere people I've met. Every single question I had they answered and they explained why things work and what the process is. When they say they will call you back they will do more, they will email, they will text, they will follow up. They will ask if you are comfortable with the material in how it was presented. There are no surprises because everything has been discussed. When everyone else throws everything at the wall to see what sticks they will approach those pieces on the wall and go over every single item and go piece by piece. When I am nervous to write them at 11pm they are actually writing me at 1130pm to see how things are going. They are inviting, caring, and more than just friends. They will take care of you like family.

Friendly, professional, and knowledgeable firm.

Highly recommend. I don’t know what I’d have done without them. So professional and helpful.

Amazing legal services provided by Mr. Hall. I would highly suggest this firm to anyone seeking help. Their team is dedicated, highly motivated, and confident. You’ll feel more than comfortable having this team on your side.

On a scale of 1-10, Jay & Emi are a SOLID 12! Each.
Twice I've had to use the services of Hall Underwood.
The first time, a family crisis was handled by Jay Hall. He resolved our issue w knowledge, kindness for my son, and was very firm in the direction to take.
The second time, was for our family business/trusts. Emi was extremely well versed with various statutes & case law. She was also very patient, spending lots of time answering my questions on numerous occasions & quelling our fears.
Both times each attorney handled our affairs with the utmost professionalism.
Two different issues, both serious, for our large extended family. Both were handled the same way-GREAT!

I've referred several people to Hall Underwood PLLC. Jay Hall is very honest, attentive, and assiduous with all his clients. He has proved to be one of the most knowledgeable and reliable attorneys in the field. Not only are his clients provided with all the information they need, they're made to feel comfortable, at ease, and treated like a friend. I'm proud to know this exceptional firm and have more than enough confidence in them to recommend them to anyone.

Jay and Ivan were great when they worked with us on a family law case. They were sincere and very honest and open. I 100% recommend this firm. Very fair on price

I recently contacted Hall Underwood for initial counsel as I was uncertain on how to possibly approach divorce. Jay was amazing. He was clear and straight forward with his answers. Everything was laid out in simple terms that I could understand. I didn’t once feel obligated or uncomfortable with the conversation. I highly recommend Jay and his team!

Going through a divorce is devastating! Jay and Emi are nothing less than professional, knowledgeable, supportive, and affordable. At a time when I felt alone, I knew they were on my side, providing the best legal advice! There’s no way I would have successfully made it through my divorce without them! I highly recommend their services!

I am writing this under a made up name cause I don't want backlasch. Hired Emi and had heard she was good but she cost more than expected and didn't hardly answer my calls or anything. When all was done she cost about 350 an hour. Even tho they say flat rate is came out higher than a lot of good lawyers in the phx area. would rate lower but I'm glad court is donem

Emi and Jay are wonderful and helped my through a very difficult time in the best possible way. They were great at answering all of my questions and were patient, caring and understanding at a time when my life was turned upside down. I mainly worked with Emi and truly felt that she wanted the best for me. Their flat fee pricing really eased my mind and I ended up paying less than expected, which was great because my pockets are not deep. I highly recommend Hall Underwood without hesitation. Thanks, Jay and Emi!

Emi was beyond exceptional in so many ways! There really are no words to display how happy we were with her. We do not say this only because of the outcome, but because of the communication and everything that happened in between. Emi was very honest and open with us from the very beginning and there was never any questions about expectations or possible outcomes. Her response time with questions was impeccable and always very straight forward. I would recommend Emi to anyone looking for someone to represent you and assure you that she will always have your best interest at heart and will always be very straight forward and honest about the possible outcomes. Thank you Emi and if services ever be needed again, you will always be my choice of respectable representation.

Emi and Jay are incredible attorneys. I have never met two people who are as devoted as they are. Every question I had was answered. They are professional, prompt, but most importantly they care!

Emi is incredibly hard-working and dedicated! She worked hand in hand with me, making sure each question I had was answered. My paperwork was always filed in a timely manner and she knew exactly how to handle every situation. Emi was attentive to all my needs and never made me feel bad for contacting her with questions. She always made sure to answer any I had. She is amazing!!

I can’t say enough great things about Jay. From the first email to now I’ve seen his kindness. The best part about Jay is how realistic he is. He never overpromises and he is was open with me about every possible outcome. He let me know which things were reasonable and which were not. He works really hard and he takes his job and clients seriously.

I have never trusted two people more in my life and I’m incredibly thankful that I had these two as my attorneys! I can’t rave enough, honestly.

Jay Hall will go above and beyond for his clients and those in need. As someone who came to him for help after previously seeking counsel from another firm, I was faced with the harsh reality of my case but instantly presented with effective solutions and a solid plan moving forward. The truth he speaks to his clients is refreshing and I can assure you, that it is genuine with only the best interest of your family in mind.

So glad I chose Emi Koyama and Jay Hall to represent me during my difficult divorce. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable, kind, available when I needed them or had a question, and worked hard to represent me well. I had complete trust in them during the entire process. I highly recommend them!

These guys are great!! I normally don't get a straight answer when talking to law firms because they want you to spend money and come in- I had some general questions and they were more than happy to assist. If I needed a lawyer this is where I would go-this firm just "felt right".

Ms. Koyama represented me in a child custody case that I thought I had no chance of winning (what I had been told by other family law attorneys). Not only did we win but we won in every aspect. I believe we won because Ms. Koyama did her homework and was extremely well prepared for court, where she was very organized and focused.

In addition, Ms. Koyama is easy to talk to and a pleasure to work with. She was understanding of my concerns and was able to readily interpret them according to the law. Finally, Ms. Koyama was available and timely with her responses to any questions that I had. I really needed and appreciated that.

In summary, I could not recommend Ms. Koyama more highly. She is a fantastic attorney who will represent you well.

Hands down the best in the Valley. Jay and Emi provided legal advice and guidance during a very difficult time in my life. They were not only experienced and knowledgeable, given their strong background in family law, they were also incredibly honest, very responsive, and extremely fair. Before making any decision, they made sure I had all the facts and a solid understanding of them. I knew they wouldn’t steer me wrong and that I was in great hands. They were compassionate about my situation and it was clear they really cared about their clients.
I would strongly recommend Hall Underwood to anyone seeking the absolute best legal representation and advice.

Going through a divorce was one of the most stressful things I have ever gone through. Almost just as stressful was finding adequate representation with whom I could trust to protect me in and out of court and would provide me with 100% transparency in all areas of the divorce. I had consultations with 3 other large firms before I chose Jay and Emi. Everyday I have continued to be so grateful I chose them as well as extremely impressed with their knowledge and tact in dealing with every situation. It was vital that I had representation that was familiar with NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) and other mental health issues. Jay and Emi were always several steps ahead of his antics and games he continually tried to play throughout the process. They were always thorough in explaining every single part of the process, the ins, outs, whys and potentials for every situation and scenario which gave me an unequivocal comfort level . Their fee structure leaves no room for misunderstandings or questions. Throughout this process I have found myself so grateful that they are on my team representing me and not my ex! Jay and Emi have both gone above and beyond my expectations. Their knowledge of the process and the system is immeasurable. Their responses to the opposing counsel were always impressive and on point!! If anyone is considering hiring a big expensive firm, please do yourself (and your wallet) a favor and hire Hall Underwood instead! I can attest that you will receive better representation and care here!!

My experience with Emi and Jay exceeded my expectations. My case was a high conflict child custody case in which Emi and Jay provided prompt answers to any questions, helped me view my case realistically and fought for the best outcome with poise and detailed accuracy. I would highly recommend their firm as their level of knowledge and professionalism is second to none. Thank you for making such an unpleasant experience manageable with all your support. I should add that my ex no longer wants to engage in any child custody issues in court as he knows who I have on my side. Thank you for all you do!

Emi was nothing short of amazing in guiding me thru one of the worst and stressful experiences in my life! She came into my custody battle very late on (my fault) and worked so hard on it! She didn’t hesitate to answer any questions I had at any point and responded quickly and trust me mine wasn’t an easy one! She settled my case completely in my favor and didn’t stop until I was happy! Emi you are truly amazing at what you do! I cannot express how thankful I was to have Emi represent me! If I ever need to go thru this again you bet I would call Emi right back! She is truly amazing!

Getting divorced is a very lengthy and horrible process generally speaking. This is why having a lawyer that understands your needs and supports you through the entire cycle is critical.

Recently I received notification from Emi Koyama that she no longer wanted to represent me, just a short time prior to needing her the most – in court.
Not only was the timing an issue, but the way my case was dismissed by her without regard for my personal situation or circumstances was very disappointing.

I paid to have proper representation but most of all, to have someone to depend on when needed.
- I obviously never received it.

I've had the pleasure of retaining Hall Underwood twice (originally only for temporary orders, then again for the rest of my divorce). Words really cannot express how grateful I am for all the effort Jay and his colleagues put in to my case, because everything I've been fighting for over the past year (my kids and their future), he fought just as hard for them on his end as counsel.

After the temporary orders matter settled, I ended up retaining Jay and his firm again a few months later after unsuccessfully trying to settle the rest of the issues. Opposing counsel was extremely dodgy and refused to provide mandatory discovery for months even after I retained them. They were calm and professional dealing with my ex's unreasonably difficult attorney and eventually forced them to hand over everything we needed. The most impressive part of Jay's performance was that he noticed a subtle, yet significant defect in the wording of the proposed parenting plan we received and capitalized on it, which allowed me to place the children in any school in the valley with zero restrictions and ultimately place them in the best school possible (one of the things that is EXTREMELY important to me).

Needless to say, my ex wasn't very happy about that, and her attorney fought pretty hard to try to save face in the wake of his devastating blunder. He tried to back out of the agreements that we had made that were not yet binding, tried to conduct an untimely noticed and frivolous deposition, tried to make misleading arguments so I'd be the one to have to pay child support, tried rearrange the parenting time schedule, and continually threatend an award of attorney's fees if we didn't give in to his demands.

Naturally, Jay knew it was all just an act and didn't fall for it. Eventually, after all the discovery was completed, Jay gave him an ultimatum. Either this case settles, or we go to trial and we'll almost certainly collect an award of attorney's fees from having to enforce the parenting plan we agreed to (which was binding pursuant to Rule 69). Needless to say, they chose the former.

I really couldn't be happier with the results of my case. Not only did I get almost exactly what I wanted out of my divorce, but also my fees for the entire case were only about one-third (1/3) of what my ex paid for her attorney (hers was hourly), who has been practicing for over 30 years, and we still came out slightly ahead. I think that speaks to how amazing Jay and his colleagues are in their profession. Having dealt with a dozen or so other attorneys in my divorce, Jay and his firm is the only law firm I'll ever recommend to family and friends.

I hired Hall Underwood to represent me during my divorce and couldn't be happier with the results. My ex-wife was a relentless gold digger who tried to use my children to leverage more money from me. Her attorney wanted to fight about everything and constantly asked for ungodly sums of money in attorney's fees and alimony. My attorney shut her down in a hurry and achieved an outcome that I didn't even think was possible when we started the process.

If you're looking for a "Scottsdale divorce attorney" because you have a contentious divorce and want an aggressive lawyer, you need to contact Hall Underwood. I've recommended Jay Hall and his other attorneys to everyone I know.

Excellent experience I have had with Hall Underwood, Jay and Emi have been handling my case for the past 2 years and have stayed on top of every piece of information necessary. Very affordable and over all very respectable and great client service, I highly recommend this firm for anyone looking for great representation.

I am extremely grateful to their attorneys for helping me through a stressful time and I did not have to sacrifice expertise for affordability.

I will recommend this firm to anybody I know who is in need of top-notch legal representation.

I contacted Jay Hall of Hall Underwood for a civil litigation matter; I was searching for an attorney and when I emailed for general information, Jay Hall, (Managing Parner of Hall Underwood PLLC) got back to me by email within an hour, on a Sunday evening.
Within 18 hours I was speaking one on one with Jay Hall, not a paralegal, and he was offering advice on what to do in my particular situation before I hired him.
I have had almost unadulterated access to my attorney directly via call, email and text, without being charged for every text, call and email.
I have in the past had bad experiences with every lawyer I have encountered, from other civil litigators to county attorneys with poor results.
Jay Hall has redefined my definition of what a GOOD attorney REALLY IS; he is aggressive, straight forward and will not draw clients in with false promises of success and results.
You owe it to yourself to contact Hall Underwood in the event you need an attorney.

I called several Phoenix divorce lawyers before I hired an attorney and I'm so glad I waited. The lawyers at Hall Underwood are exceptional. They masterfully planned and executed a case strategy that delivered results I didn't know were possible. Please do yourself a favor and call the firm if you need a lawyer.

I cannot begin to say enough great things about Hall Underwood. Their family law attorneys and way of doing things will have you pleasantly surprised. After dealing with Jay & Emi for only a few days, I knew I was getting top-notch legal service. Their fees are affordable, and their attention to detail far exceeds anyone I have ever dealt with in the past. No need to look elsewhere as far as I am concerned.
