John William Hillman's Lawyer Endorsements
"John Hillman is a very knowledgable attorney who is wholeheartedly dedicated to protecting, ensuring and advocating for the rights of his clients."
"I have known John since the time when he was an Assistant District Attorney. He was fair, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Since John has been in private practice I have seen him continue to apply his strong legal skills in building his own legal practice by delivering high quality legal services to his clients. John is not afraid to do a jury trial. In fact, he has done more jury trials than most prosecutors and defense attorneys practicing in the Capital District. John has an excellent knowledge of the rules of evidence and trial procedure that has helped him excel in criminal matters and in Family Court. I strongly recommend John. He is a good attorney and a good man."
