Hallie is one of those attorneys whose resume could intimidate you, if she didn’t immediately put you at ease: editor of the Baylor Law Review with a full academic scholarship, a clerkship with a Texas Supreme Court Justice, summa cum laude. It’s not bragging if it’s true. As senior attorney on Hardie Alcozer’s fiduciary litigation team, that same rigor shows up in how she works up a case, leaving no stone unturned and no argument unexamined, and clients benefit from years of advocacy experience paired with an unflappable calm. But ask Hallie what she loves most about the job, and she’ll skip the resume: “I love how collaborative we are. It’s a fun team to be a part of, and our collaboration really does exponentially increase our value to our clients.” That instinct for justice took root well before law school, during a summer spent in Bolivia working with a nonprofit that helped victims of domestic violence seek justice, where she watched local attorneys pair genuine compassion for their clients with sharp, effective advocacy, a lesson she’s carried into every case since.
Outside the office, Hallie has a hobby list that keeps growing no matter how hard she tries to shrink it: running, biking, playing music, house DIY projects, gardening, reading, cooking, traveling, hiking, painting. Her New Year’s resolution last year was to have fewer of them, and her solution was to add gardening.
