The Hall Sickels firm has evolved over the past 40 years into a partnership of consistently effective trial attorneys committed to the highest standards of legal representation. 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 three attorneys.

The merger created one of the largest and most experienced locally-based personal injury firms in the region. Each of the partners has the highest (AV) peer-review rating by Martindale-Hubbell and is a highly experienced civil litigator. The partners are assisted by outstanding associate attorneys, certified paralegals, medical technologists and a professional support staff. The firm's two main areas of concentration are civil litigation and business planning.
