Who are you?
My name is Conor Hall. I grew up in a small town and spent every summer on my family’s Century Farm in Fort Dodge. I went to Iowa State for college before joining the United States Marine Corps. I then attended the University of Iowa College of Law on the GI Bill.
Who do you represent?
I represent ordinary folks from all walks of life who have been injured by someone else’s negligence.
What led you to this work?
I love the world of ideas; reading writing and learning. Legal work is a perfect way to put those things together and I get to use those things to help people. It’s a perfect fit!
What motivates you to do what you do?
There’s nothing more motivating to me than being able to call my client with some good news. I love hearing the gratitude, relief and even joy when we get a positive resolution, or even a smaller win along the way, in a case.
What do you do when you are not working as an attorney?
I’m active in my church, lift weights, read and work on my small hobby farm with my wife.
If you weren’t an attorney, what would you be doing?
If things had gone a little differently I could see myself working in the strength training field in some capacity. I love lifting weights and I’ve even competed at a low level in powerlifting and strongman competitions.
How do you relate to your clients?
I didn’t grow up around lawyers or the law. I’m the first lawyer in my family. I understand how complicated and confusing the legal process can be when you’re not familiar with it, not to mention while you’re trying to deal with an injury. I keep in mind the relief and reassurance I can bring as we go through the process together.
What are your challenges?
I wear my heart on my sleeve a little bit and I struggle not to take my client’s cases personally.
What might someone be surprised to know about you?
I’m a big science fiction/fantasy fan! When I read for pleasure, it’s almost always something with a spaceship or magic in it.
What is your favorite part about your job?
There’s always something new to learn and a new puzzle to solve. No two clients or cases are the same and there’s always some new interesting fact or issue to work with.
