Arizona Associate Counsel- Isaac Hall, Esq.
Mr. Hall grew up in Dutch Harbor, Alaska and moved to Arizona in 2007. At age 26 (with an established career in the trades and a family), he enlisted in the Navy to finish his bachelor’s degree, build a resume for law school, and secure GI Bill funding to chase his dreams of becoming an attorney.
During his time in the Navy, Mr. Hall went on two deployments as an air traffic controller, resulting in 1,500 incident free missions. He dedicated all his free time working towards his bachelor's degree (Pre-law). This commitment led to him being awarded two Navy Achievement Medals and earning his bachelor’s degree from National University.
Mr. Hall left the Navy in 2016 and enrolled into the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law in 2017. During his time in law school Mr. Hall was part of the school’s competitive mediation team, participated in internal moot court competitions, and concentrated his studies on real estate/land use law.

Mr. Hall took a detour during law school to get his master’s degree in real estate development and finished up his law degree the following semester. After achieving his dream, Mr. Hall has spent time working in land use, real estate transactions (commercial/affordable housing), and as counsel for Arizona HOA’s. After a while, Mr. Hall decided he needed practice area change, one which would allow him to use his law license and experience to help “the little guy,” instead of chasing them down for their HOA dues.
