Fighter!!!

I am here to say that Mr. Hills, is a hard working defense attorney. He has been my advocate for awhile now and sometimes we disagree he never let that get in the way of doing his job. So in short I would recommend this man to anyone that needs someone to protect their rights. From criminal to civil.....

Replied last September 12, 2018

If I am remembering this situation correctly, the MAIN REASON I did not "fight harder" for same, is that he refused to pay me anything to begin with, even AFTER I went in and talked to the DA on his behalf for free. In short, I WAS NEVER OFFICIALLY RETAINED AS HIS LAWYER! FAIR WARNING TO ALL POTENTIAL CLIENTS: I tend to not be a great lawyer when one never pays me to be a lawyer in the first place. Much like West Penn Power is "horrible" at getting people power....when that person never paid to have the power turned on. So, yes, I am "all about the dollar" in an instance when one has paid me NO DOLLARS, primarily because, to do work for people who have never actually engaged my services is a less-than-perfect business model. Again, I am not apologetic.

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.

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.
