Helping the Injured since 1965

The Hall Sickels firm has evolved over the past 40 years into a partnership of consistently effective trial attorneys representing clients in Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Prince William, Loudoun and surrounding counties. Robert T. Hall started practicing law in 1964 and has earned a national reputation for excellence through his representation of many high-profile civil and criminal cases. Charles Sickels joined Hall in mid-1980, adding business planning as a specialty of the firm. In 1998, Steve Frei joined, bringing with him significant personal injury trial experience. In 2007, Hall Sickels merged with The Law Offices of Gary B. Mims, adding extensive medical malpractice experience and associate attorneys.

Do you have a case?

When you were a child, if you threw a ball into your neighbor's window, you would have to pay to fix the window. That's what our mothers taught us and it makes sense. If you do something that hurts another, you have to take responsibility. Seeking just compensation for an injury caused by someone's negligence, as in medical malpractice or a serious accident, should be a simple matter too. Unfortunately, the law is not so simple.

Rules of evidence, doctrines such as "standard of care," contributory negligence and state-imposed caps on recovery are just a few of the items which make a personal injury case complicated. That is why the experience of your lawyer may make all the difference in the outcome of your case.
