About Mrs. Alerian
Mrs. Alerian Hall took a circuitous route to the law. Her early career was not in a courtroom. It began in finance, then moved into legal training and practice. The detour shows in the way she approaches client problems: pragmatic, organized and grounded in real-world concerns.
She graduated from Brown University in 2000 with a Bachelor of Arts. Her studies then took her abroad to programs at Oxford University, Tsinghua University and the University of Edinburgh. She returned to formal legal training at the University of Washington School of Law, where she earned her J.D. in 2009.
Before she became an attorney, Hall worked in financial services. In 2005 she joined Ameriprise Financial as a financial advisor and coach. There she advised clients and mentored other advisors. That period gave her day-to-day experience in client-facing planning and financial decision-making.
After law school she moved into private practice. She has been a member of the Washington State Bar Association and the King County Bar Association since 2011. That year also marks the start of her roles as a practicing lawyer: she opened The Law Office of Alerian Hall, Inc. and took an of counsel position at Insight Law. Those positions placed her in both the independent and collaborative sides of practice.
Her background combines financial training and legal education. That combination informs the work she does as an estate planning lawyer. She translates technical documents into terms people understand. She lays out options and consequences so clients can decide with clarity. Her practice touches on the planning and structuring that families and individuals often face when thinking about succession and asset management.
Colleagues and clients encounter a lawyer who moves methodically through complex information. She emphasizes careful drafting and clear explanation. Her international study and early finance work add perspectives that many estate matters benefit from. Hall continues to maintain bar membership in Washington and handles matters from her practice based in the state.
As of 2026 she maintains an active practice as an estate planning lawyer, handling planning and related matters in Washington.
