With more than 45 years experience, Hall has tried more than 350 jury trials including capital cases and argued more than 350 appeals (two in the U.S. Supreme Court, two more as second chair). He’s even tried in a war crimes trial under the Geneva Convention, with his defense of a particular military action winning acquittal for all the defendants on the count of unjustified murder during an African civil war.

Hall is often considered the lawyer’s lawyer because he’s the author of three books and numerous articles on trial practice, criminal defense ethics and search and seizure law. The fourth edition of his "Trial Handbook for Arkansas Lawyers" was published Dec. 1 by Thomson-West. Since 2015, his search and seizure blog, FourthAmendment.com, has been recognized by the American Bar Association as one of the top 50 of 15,000 legal blogs. Hall is recognized in Best Lawyers in America, Criminal Defense and White Collar Criminal Defense and SuperLawyers. He’s the only Arkansan on the American Board of Criminal Lawyers.
