Jack is one of the most supportive and down to earth lawyers I have ever met. He treats everyone with respect no matter how busy he is. He is calm, fair, and actually listens, which is something you do not see every day. Jack is also extremely honest, and while some reviews may not appreciate that, it is exactly what makes him a good and trustable lawyer. He tells the truth even when it is hard to hear, and that kind of honesty is rare but necessary in this field. He explains things clearly, never cuts corners, and always puts his clients first. His passion for helping others truly shows in the way he works. read more

A personable, seemingly caring lawyer whom I hired to launch a civil litigation suit based largely on his Google reviews. However, his work is undertaken with haste and his follow-up communications - at least with me - were non-existent. I waited seven weeks to learn the outcome of a Demand Letter that contained a seven-day stipulation to respond. Moreover, Mr. Haller did not contact me. I contacted him. This occurred in spite of the fact I had just undergone cancer therapy and was told by Mr. Haller, "Forget about all this. Leave it to me." Instead, I was the one who was forgotten about. Combined with an error in his Demand Letter and inaccurate charges in his billing (which Mr. Haller acknowledged), I did not retain this lawyer to pursue my case in court. The problem? Mr. Haller has too many clients to pay careful attention to all his files (or, at least, not to my file). And he is disorganized to boot. Plus, hang on to your wallet. I was billed for the time to cut a cheque to return the balance of my in-trust deposit - even though, in effect, I fired Mr. Haller. Subsequently, I hired another lawyer with whom I am delighted. For starters - unlike Jack Haller - my new lawyer estimates the cost of his work and bills me for the work as it is performed. There is no up-front retainer - something I dislike. With a retainer, if there's a dispute about the charges or quality of the work, the lawyer has you over a barrel. Plus, my new lawyer does not have a waiting room that is crowded with backed-up appointments. And - unlike Mr. Haller - my new lawyer did not try to sell me a legal service I wasn't seeking. (As I was leaving my meeting with Mr. Haller, I mentioned I was getting married. His immediate comeback was "I can do you a pre-nup for $500.") Bad timing. Bad taste. read more

When I was desperate to have a lawyer on my side to sort out workplace difficulties, Jack quickly consulted with me and guided me through. Even though this may be the secondary area of practice for Jack, his primary expertise in family law, I still trusted him. After experience with some West Coast lawyers, Jack offers great value for your dollars. read more

Mr Haller is so unprofessional. He uses frivolous threats and intimidation. He misled the RCMP intentionally by only providing them with certain documents. The RCMP shouldn't of ever listened to him but they did. They came to my home multiple times over Xmas and even told my youngest child the only man he's known as a father wasn't his biologically. He represented my mother while she tried to take custody of my children. They lost. And he looked like a damn fool in court. He didn't even file the paperwork to claim me and my lawyer had a conflict. Seems like basic knowledge a lawyer should have. You apparently don't just say a lawyer is in conflict. There's a process. I wouldn't hire him for anything and I'm writing this as a warning to anyone considering him. Do yourself a favor if you love your children and scroll past this guy. read more

I was referred to this guy through my insurance and he was a nightmare. I only spoke to him for five minutes and it was like arguing with a belligerent and defiant teenage boy. He was unwilling to explain anything other than how unappreciative he was of my call. I've rarely felt the need to review someone's complete lack of social skills, which one would assume is an asset for a lawyer, but this man was the epitome of confrontational and unprofessional. read more
