The two great passions of Jim’s professional life are Collaborative Divorce and Death Penalty Defense. These two aspects of his practice cover the exact same territory: family systems, heartbreak and healing. Jim’s practice is devoted to helping families deal with the most stressful times that any family will face.

Jim believes that the Collaborative Divorce process is the best way to handle most divorces. The process helps the divorcing couple to move through the divorce process privately without going to court. The end results are based on the goals of each party and developing a plan to help achieve those goals. Jim has handled over 100 Collaborative Divorce cases.

Jim Hallett has had the privilege to handle the defense of over 30 death penalty cases. He has also presented oral arguments multiple times before the California Supreme Court.
