Contact Hallie Von Rock
Contacting Hallie Von Rock through this form does not create an attorney client, mediator, or investigator relationship, and no such relationship exists until any conflicts are cleared and a written engagement is signed. When Hallie Von Rock serves as a mediator or investigator on a matter, she acts as a neutral and does not represent or advise the parties. Nothing on this site guarantees any particular outcome.
A trustworthy neutral who has seen these disputes from the inside
Hallie Von Rock is a mediator and independent workplace investigator with over 20 years of experience as an attorney in complex civil litigation. As a partner at Aiman-Smith & Marcy, her practice has covered employment, class actions, consumer protection, fraud, family law, class actions, PAGA actions and other complex civil matters.
That range means she understands the evidence, the people involved, the risks each side faces, and the financial, professional, and personal pressures that shape the positions parties take.
