Hard hitting, compassionate and thorough

I was referred to Hillary by a family friend who was going through a similar situation. My friend had nothing but great things to say about the job that Hillary did for their family and the results that were achieved. Our experience started with a pressure free consultation. We immediately knew that ...we had found the person we wanted to represent our family. At every corner Hillary was extremely responsive. She was always available to quickly and thoroughly answer the seemingly thousands of questions that came up. She handled herself professionally in court and we were able to achieve an even more favorable outcome than we originally intended. Hillary was extremely thorough, flexible and a complete bulldog when necessary. Her compassion and attention to detail helped our family become whole and I cannot thank her, or the MacElree Harvey firm, enough for everything they were able to do for us.

An excellent choice

We hired Hillary Moonay to assist us in a child custody case. Hillary helped us navigate and understand the process. She answered all of our questions thoroughly and was quick to return a phone call or email. With her guidance we were able to find a happy resolution to our case quickly. I would highl...y recommend Hillary Moonay.

Professional and personable

Working with Hillary has been wonderful. She is professional, patient and kind during a time that is often difficult. She explains everything well and really puts you at ease as a client. I highly recommend working with her.

By far, the best attorney I have ever used. You can not go wrong with Hillary- read on!!!!

I have a lot of experience with lawyers since my issues seemed impossible to rectify. I have been through the courts with 3 different "reputable" attorney's; I went through 10's of thousands of dollars before I finally found Hillary. I got lucky with a recommendation to use Hillary Moonay, from Willi...ams Family Law. I must say that from my experience, this female attorney was the most honest, experienced, straight forward, determined and knowledgeable attorney that produced results for me that I thought would never happen. I am a father who received SOLE LEGAL & PRIMARY PHYSICAL CUSTODY of my daughter, which does not happen often in the Doylestown Court System. Hillary was the angel for my daughter and I; she knew what was right and put her heart and pristine skill into my case- because she cares. I never found an attorney that cared so much about what was right for her client and used her skill to fight for it. Hillary Moonay's performance is one of a kind, because I have been sold so many promises from other attorney's that I truly thought would get it done-- sadly, minimal results at the cost of big bucks is what I experienced over the last 3.5 years. I had court 2 days ago when this all came true, and I am on cloud nine that I have my little girl full time in good hands, where she should be. I could talk about how organized Hillary's law ethic combined with her experience, intelligence and history with the courts made me comfortable, but the truth of the matter is her passion for law was the driving force that gave me the results I have today. There is nothing more important then our children and Hillary brought my daughter Gia, back to her home with me; I am willing to talk more about my experience because I vouch for this elite lawyer with all my heart.

Thank You!

First I would like to say 'Thank You!' I am very pleased and grateful that you are representing me in my divorce. You are always very prompt to reply regardless of the time of day and I truly believe you are looking out for my best interest whether it be advice in my divorce or helping me to control ...legal fees as I requested upfront. Right from the start, your professionalism in handling my case has sincerely impressed me. More importantly your approach in providing legal advice in my personal situation and your direct, clear and sincere style made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. In every phone call or meeting you consistently took the time to ensure I understood the process, questions and next steps. Again, thank you!
