In July 2008, Hall filed a lawsuit for $1.5 million against the two current members of Sugarland. According to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, Hall has an agreement with Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush to equally share profits and losses, and claims that she has been excluded from the group's profits since her departure in 2005 to pursue her solo career.
