About Edgar

Edgar Hall began his professional life in a technical role before turning to the law. He served as a biomedical equipment repair technician in the United States Air Force in the mid-1990s. A decade later he finished law school, earning his J.D. from the University of San Diego School of Law in 2007.

He entered practice soon after graduation. Early positions included roles at McCarthy & Holthus, PS in 2008 and at the Law Office of Mark McClure, PS in 2011. Those jobs exposed him to creditor-debtor litigation and related courtroom work. In 2012 he became principal lawyer at Washington Debt Law, PLLC, a firm he continues to lead. He also volunteered for projects addressing family law, wage claims and housing justice in the years after law school.

Hall’s path into consumer and creditor-debtor matters is shaped by both practical experience and community work. He took volunteer stints in 2008 with a Family Law Mentor Project and a Wage Claim Project, and in 2012 he volunteered with a Housing Justice Project. Those efforts ran alongside his early private-practice work and informed how he handles clients who are facing financial and housing stress.

He is admitted to practice in Washington and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. His bar memberships include the Creditor Debtor Section of the state bar and the Legal Assistance for Military Personnel Section, both dating from 2008. He also holds membership in the Washington Veterans Bar Association, recorded from 2015 onward. Those associations reflect the mix of consumer financial litigation and veteran-related legal interests that recur in his caseload.

Hall runs a small firm that operates offices across the Puget Sound region. The practice maintains locations in Everett, Seattle and Tacoma. The firm handles contested matters in state and federal forums and offers representation that ranges from negotiation to courtroom litigation.

Colleagues and clients describe him as pragmatic and straightforward in court filings and client communications. He tends to frame problems in plain terms and to pursue remedies available under state and federal statutes and case law. He continues to split his time among the firm’s offices while handling appeals in the Ninth Circuit and trial work in Washington state courts.

He currently maintains an active practice at Washington Debt Law, PLLC, concentrating on creditor-debtor litigation and related consumer-law matters.
