Sec. Hall’s service to North Carolina continues to be merited, receiving the Equality in Legislation Leadership Award and Excellence from the Courtroom to the Capital Community Service Award. Sec. Hall has been featured multiple times in Governing magazine and has been honored as a Champion of NC Working Families, a 100% Environmental Champion, and a Defender of Justice for his commitment to safeguarding voting rights, expanding opportunities throughout the state for individuals and communities of low incomes, and protecting vulnerable families and members of the military from predatory lending, making him a natural fit with Wallace & Graham and its long history of pursuing justice for many of the same communities.
