Excellent defense attorney

Posted by

George is a great lawyer. I was charged with a felony and George was able able to get it reduced down to a violation. Throughout the whole process he was professional and I felt like he cared about getting the best possible outcome for me. Whenever I had questions he would respond quickly and he frequently updated me on my case. I can't thank him enough. I highly recommend George to anyone who needs a good defense attorney.

SORA reduced

Hired mr hildebrandt to petition the court on my behalf about a 10 year old conviction. The process lasted more than a year and kept stalling in the court. Mr hildebrandt stayed on top and saw it through to the outcome we were seeking. Very low stress process.

Great lawyer

Posted by

I chose to set up a meeting with George Hildebrandt after reading through reviews on Syracuse top lawyers. He was able to get me right in for a meeting and after speaking with him he put me at ease with the charges I had pending against me considering my criminal background. Throughout my case George updated me with every piece of paperwork that was received or gone out on his behalf to the courts and DAs office. Anytime I had a question for George he responded back to me within the hour. George met with me before every court date and was very knowledgeable and professional. Ending result George got a dismissal on my case. If you want a lawyer that will be with you through every step of your courts case George is the lawyer I recommend.

Best Attorney

Posted by

Me. Hildebrandt is an amazing Attorney, he is very prompt when responding to an email and very knowledgeable, he cares about his clients and wants the best outcome and works diligently till he gets what you want. I only wish that more Attorneys were like him, if you want the best, you need to hire Mr. Hildebrandt. I’m in Florida but needed some to represent a case being held in Syracuse, and he promptly responded to every email and phone call. And the outcome of the case was exactly what I needed. Thanks George for being a great knowledgeable Attorney and always being pleasant to speak with.
