A great Attorney!

Hilary is a excellent attorney. We hired him to help us with a custody case and he was on task very respectful and fought hard for our case! Hilary is very reasonable and very understanding he is great at what he does. I'm so glad we found him, My over all experience with him has been nothing but pu...re professionalism! He is a outstanding attorney. If your looking to win and have a attorney who fights for his clients to get what they deserve and need with the utmost understanding HE IS IT!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Hilary for years. Nearly everytime I appear in the Beaver County courthouse for a family law matter, I see him there. I have found Hilary to be a very worthy opponent on a number of cases we have had against each other. I believed he was well prepared and very experienced in the family law field. I thought that he fought hard, but fairly for his clients. Lisa Marie Vari, Esquire"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
