Gideon Hale
Leads the firm and runs its emergency relief practice. He has handled asset freezes, receiverships and collection fights for three decades, sits on the firm's intake committee, and still answers the after-hours line himself on his own weekends. Clients describe him as blunt about cost and patient about evidence.
gideon.hale@marchbankoakes.exampleBackground
Gideon founded the firm's fraud practice after twelve years as a federal trial lawyer, and much of his work still begins with a phone call late on a Friday.
He led the team in Brennan Freight v. Castellan Capital Partners, obtaining an overnight asset freeze over funds held through four entities in three states.
He is known for telling clients early which fights are worth the cost, and for walking away from the ones that are not.

An award you can't collect
Getting paid should shape an arbitration from day one. Ask where the money is before you ever file a demand.
