A Real Super Hero!!!!

Hillary is truly amazing!!! Unfortunately, not the original lawyer to represent me in my divorce/custody battle, Hillary turned out to be a real super hero. She was able to guide me through the significant errors created by my original attorney; saving the day. Truly an uphill battle, her knowled...ge and advice not only won my case, but helped me to get my life back in order overall. Getting me to focus on what would keep me winning, even after the dust settled.

Expertise and Compassion

Hillary is the best. She helps me get through many complex hurdles as the Family Court turmoil I am facing has an added dynamic of Domestic Violence. She teaches me how to compartmentalize my fears and emotions and place my focus where it needs to be so that I can do my part to work towards suc...cessful resolution each time. She is easy to reach and very responsive when I need her help with urgent matters, and her wisdom and knowledge has helped me win many battles along the way. Being entangled in ongoing additional Family Court matters with that "Domestic Violence" root has caused my children and I to face some serious consequences. I NEED someone who can fight for us. Hillary understands and listens to my concerns, and she truly cares about what happens to us. Her staff is also very helpful and compassionate, happily lending an ear when needed.. Knowing that Hillary has the expertise necessary, and that she will be there to take care of responding to the unpredictable complications that the adversary continuously throws my way, makes it easier for me to get through the difficult times as this extremely litigious case drags on…

She's real! She takes the time to know you!

My name is Mike, and I have used Hillary for 5 years now. She over saw a divorce I was going through and she over saw my wife and I getting back together. Talk about a situation. She was with me either way. The best thing about Hillary is she always take's my call! Whether I was in jail for somethi...ng that wasn't true, she took the call and helped me out! The other thing is that after my situation with her 5 years ago, I have called her several times and she has given me advice over the phone. For FREE! Hillary is a class act and knows what she is doing. If you want a lawyer that will fight for you and be honest with you, I highly recommend her!

Results!

In December of 2012 I was charged with possession of CDS and simple assault in Edison NJ. When I made my first appearance it wasn’t the usually prosecutor or judge that presides in that township. Originally my charges were placed on an administrative hold for 3 months, and both charges were to be rev...isited and dismissed if all went well. Upon returning to revisit the case both the prosecutor and judge were different from when I made the first appearance and to my disbelief they indicated that no order for dismissal was noted on the case. I returned 5 times just to be pushed around by the prosecutor requesting adjournments for discoveries and lab reports which were never produced and the judge did not want to hear or take into account what I had said. At this point I felt bullied and pretty much helpless when I came across Ms. Hillary Brower’s website, and I am extremely glad did. Since our first meeting in Ms. Brower’s office located in East Brunswick NJ, she put me at ease and gave me back my confidence, she guided me step by step and made sure that I knew everything she new regarding my case. When the new court date arrived Ms. Brower was right by my side fighting for me and employed every bit of knowledge and resources that she could to protect my rights. On October 8th 2013 at 7PM, nearly a year later all charges were DISMISSED! What’s different in Ms. Hillary Brower’s practice is that she is a sole practitioner and she doesn’t pass you along like most others do. She focuses on you and your case and really does care! Ms. Hillary Brower will fight for you and will get the best results anyone can. I will always recommend her; she will make you feel protected and secure and like I mentioned, she will get results!
