Dave Hall
Partner
Knoxville Tennessee
Dave Hall is a partner of Midtown Legal working primarily in Midtown's Family Law, Civil Litigation, and Civil Rights Practice Groups. Dave helps shepherd families through difficult periods of change with a steady, reassuring hand. He fights to preserve the rights guaranteed to us by our Constitution when those rights are threatened by unlawful government actions. In short, Dave’s passion is fighting bullies in whatever form they take.
In addition to his legal work with Midtown, Dave is also a teacher and small business owner. Dave founded Velocity Test Prep, an online learning program that helps aspiring lawyers prepare for admission to law school.
When Dave is not working, you can usually find him making something: either creating music sitting at his piano or behind his guitar, or making simple pieces of furniture in his small woodshop. Dave’s passions are music, books, and travel, and he does his best to enjoy all of them whenever possible.
