"I highly recommend Benjamin W. Hillner. Ben and I worked on numerous cases together while serving as Trial Defense Counsel in the active duty Army. Ben is a very thorough and competent professional who always has his clients' best interest in mind. He is an expert in criminal law and military law. Ben was the 'go to guy' when colleagues needed help and advice on how to handle tough legal situations. Indeed, I owe a debt of gratitude to him for the numerous times he gave me great advice that in turn helped my own clients. What I especially liked about working with Ben was his ability to remain calm in tough situations. He has a very calm and strong demeanor that was a blessing for clients in and out of the courtroom. Ben has an exceptional eye for detail that has been a benefit to his clients. His strong sense of organization helped him to always gain the upper-hand in court and win a majority of his cases."

"Benjamin Hillner and I recently returned from a two day court-martial, having defended a young man accused of sexually assaulting another Soldier. First and foremost, beyond his keen intelligence and military bearing, what struck me most was his tenacity, over and over, to ardently defend our client. His myriad trial advocacy gifts are unrivaled. It's candidly fantastic to share a courtroom with this fellow brother-in-arms. Court & Carpenter is fortunate to have enlisted the extraordinary caliber of this exemplary lawyer."
