This guy is the right choice for anyone who has a traffic related infraction in Santa Barbara County. All the good reviews are what sold me on this guy and they are entirely accurate. He is diligent and knows all the details of the county court system. He handled my case skillfully and I was found not guilty by the court. Nothing but the highest praise for this professional traffic attorney.

Kenneth A. Hallum. The Man, the Myth, the Legend. Although a silent man, Ken worked my case beyond excellence. He is an attorney with experience and knows how to manuever your ticket to dismissal. Definitly is my go to attorney for traffic cases in Santa Barbara County. If anyone is reading the reviews and they are not sure which attorney to go for traffic violations, Ken is no doubt the number one choice. I will wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a man who knows how to handle a case.

If you think the impossible could never be possible, I promise you that it is worth every dollar to engage attorney Kenneth Hallum. Without going into details, I had a ticket that I never thought that he could help me with. I even questioned his sanity but decided that this was exactly why I was hiring him. Make the call to Kenneth. Whatever problem you need a strong attorney for, call him. He can help you with any type of ticket. I was found NOT GUILTY! I would have never had this happen unless I not only hired Kenneth but also listened to his recommendation. You won't go wrong!
I highly recommend Ken - not only did he get my case dismissed, but for his expertise and experience, his price was the best I found and he was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. Great experience and outcome. Hopefully I will never need such services again, but if I do, I will absolutely be contacting Ken. Thank you for the great work!

I received a speeding ticket and completely forgot about it. It resulted in $900 worth of fines and a suspended license. Kenneth was on it right away and not only got it done quickly, but my ticket was completely cleared!

Well, ok then. Kenneth Hallum does his job! No smoke, no mirrors. He takes your case for traffic infractions and gives you (me) simple directions. Pay his fee. He'll take it from there. He did that for me on two tickets and won them both. One dismissed, the other not-guilty. No fuss, no muss. When I called him after awhile cuz I hadn't heard, it was because there was nothing for him to report. The process takes time, he's the one who does the work. So, get out of his way and follow his directions. Now I am headstrong abit and don't trust lawyers because most of them are churning us for fees. His fee is one time and then no matter how long, he takes care of business. Seriously folks, this guy is a pro, he's good at what he does - TRAFFIC STUFF ONLY - so pay him and get out of way. He's the real deal.

Just hire Ken! I can't say how awesome Ken has been. My son had received a traffic ticket and Ken was simply amazing in the entire process. He turned a stressful time into an easy process and was able to get a "Not Guilty" verdict and we couldn't be happier.
Extremely reasonably priced and amazing results (Ken also has a great sense of humor!).
Call Ken and hire him.

My case was unique and called for legal expertise on a traffic citation with significance as it relates to an auto accident. Being a police officer turned attorney, Ken is well versed on multiple levels and knows the legal system. We prevailed in the case with the ticket being dismissed. Many thanks for walking the thin line with me, Ken!

I was visiting California and received a ticket, so I contact Attorney Kenneth. He was very informative and walked me through each scenario and possibility. In the end, my outcome was a successful one and for that I am thankful to Attorney Kenneth. I would highly recommend him to everyone.

I could not have made a better choice in contacting Ken after I received a speeding ticket coming home from work. Ken was knowledgeable, honest, reassuring, and was receptive to my questions throughout the whole process. Not only did he get rid of my ticket (Not Guilty!), but his help saved me money in the end. Ken has my highest recommendation and is well worth consideration for legal assistance.

Great experience to help me with a speeding ticket. When the written declaration didn't work, went through a trial de novo and was able the case dismissed. Would recommend and use his services again (if I had to!)

If you are looking for a traffic lawyer to represent you in court in the Santa Barbara county, this is your guy!
I received quite a hefty speeding ticket and I was totally a lost as to what to do and fearful of the consequences. Mr. Hallum was very reassuring, from talking on the phone, of what steps we needed to take and to follow his lead. Once you pay, he takes care of the rest! You don't have to worry about any paperwork or headaches from the court system. He knows very well what he is doing and is very good at what he does, as anyone could see from the other reviews!
Please! If you're are going to pay an attorney to represent yourself in court, don't go around and try to find someone who'll give you the cheapest price. Invest in someone who you can trust, who is professional and who you are able to have full confidence in!
It was a pleasure working with you Ken!

I would highly recommend Kenneth if you need help with any traffic case - he truly goes above and beyond for his clients!! Not only did he get my red light ticket dismissed... months later when I overslept my alarm and missed my court trial for another ticket, he stepped in for me because he had recognized my name and got my ticket reduced when he wasn't even my lawyer... AMAZING!!!! He's also super informative, kind, honest and knowledgeable about anything traffic/citation related so definitely give him a call if you are looking for a traffic ticket attorney you will not regret it, I am sooo grateful for him as he has saved me a lot of money which is especially important when you are on that college budget

Mr. Hallum is a one of a kind attorney in my opinion.
I have had alot of traffic encounters with law enforcement in the Bay Area and have attorneys up here, but as I ended up getting cited in SB... needless to say I didn't know what to do as I had no trusted attorney down there.
Did some research and found Mr. Hallum and decided to give him a call (I'm very picky with the professionals I work with as situations like this could ultimately effect my way of life). Mr. Hallum was thorough in explaining the legal process while still being patient as terminology could be overwhelming. He dumbed it down in a sense, but was very patient and understanding.
I decided to hire Mr. Hallum and every step of the way he was informative of the case. He was sure to set the right expectations while narrowing down opportunities and angles to have the case be dismissed.
Ultimately the case was dismissed... my record clean, and no points to my insurance company. Hire this man if your case is in the SB area... he knows whats up!
Thanks again Mr. Hallum. Hopefully we meet on better terms

Ken Hallum was responsive and active in handling the issues of my case. He was really honest too, with the ups and downs, I never felt like he was too optimistic, or too negative, in the potential outcome of my case. And on a personal level, in communications and discussing options, he was very honest and perfectly ethical. He is an excellent attorney.

I reached out to Ken Hallum regarding a traffic citation I had received. Due to the circumstances that led to my citation, I wasn't sure if it would be worth taking the matter to court and wanted an expert opinion. I filled out the contact form on his website, immediately received an email and responded with a summary of the incident, along with a video from the camera on board my motorcycle.
Ken sent me a message within a couple hours and let me know he would review the case and get back to me. We scheduled a call a couple days out and he was able to provide me with constructive feedback on how to handle my citation (as well as what not to do). Ken was amiable and honest, providing me with favorable options, should I attempt to contest my citation. Although he advised me that it would be in my best interest to take the traffic school route, I'm very appreciative of his time in reviewing my case. No one likes receiving traffic ticket, but it does happen and sometimes it's helpful to receive an expert opinion, such as Ken's. I'll most likely need legal representation again at some point due to my two wheeled endeavors and the inability to not "poke the bear". Without a doubt, I'll be reaching out to Ken Hallum and recommending him to friends and family.
Thanks again Ken!

I had the best experience with Mr.Hallum. I called him up because I wanted to fight my traffic ticket, and unlike other offices in town he returned my call, talked to me for over an hour weighing all the possible outcomes and giving me options. He didn't care about money for his time and gave me courtesy to think it over and see where I want to go. A week later I needed to ask his opinion on another specific question according to my traffic situation, I sent him a message and he called me back and again devoted an hour of his time, talking it through. This time after all consideration, he honestly told me that I don't need him to represent me, because I can do it on my own and it will save me money. It makes me feel really good that there are still professionals out there, whose main goal is to help people, not just take their money, people who look after your best interest and not just their own profit. I highly recommend this attorney to anybody, you can trust him that he is there to help you and not just his own business.

I'm forever grateful. He is very knowledgeable of the local court system & following his every recommendation got me off of what would have been my first ticket (not seeing a stopped school bus). Do not hesitate to fight your ticket, he's definitely got your back. Thank you for keeping my record clean!

Kenneth M. Hallum is the best Santa Barbara DUI defense lawyer. Prior to becoming a DUI defense attorney in Santa Barbara, Ken was a former DUI cop. So he knows both sides of the law and is also very experienced in DUI defense. Ken handles every case personally and aims to get the best possible outcome, including plea bargains if necessary. If you are looking for a good DUI defense lawyer in the Santa Barbara area, Ken will get the job done.
