Luxury Car Restoration Fraud: The Scary Story of Defenders Northwest LLC and Its Owners Brian Hall a
September 11, 2023 ⚊ 1 Min read ⚊ Views 67 ⚊ BLOGThe Halls and their Land Rover Defender restoration and parts sales shop are based in Gig Harbor, Washington, where they provide parts and restoration services to the Land Rover Defender community. Their lawyer and alleged partner is Shawn Harju, a former construction litigation attorney who now seems to work closely with the Halls. Gig Harbor is a small, peaceful town of about 11,000 residents. Public records and social media seem to show that Brian Hall, who used to race motorcycles and worked at Black & Decker before turning to his hobby of fixing old Defender trucks, grew up in Southern California, while his wife Michele Hall is a Gig Harbor native. Despite the reincarnation of the Defender line in recent years, the vintage Defenders continue to be desirable because of their ruggedness and rich safari and off-road history.
