Free to breathe!

I hired Vic Hill and his team to and handle my divorce, and let me tell you, if you one results and I mean REAL RESULTS than Vic Hill is the way to go! There were some bumps in the road but you are not along they explain everything and let you know that you have options. If you want someone who will ...listen and act on your behalf than he is the right person for you! To sum it all up they went above and beyond for me and my future,

Amazing attorney, great staff, highly skilled. Worth every penny. Seriously.

I consulted with Mr. Hill back in May due to my spouse leaving the state and taking my children. From DAY 1, Mr. Hill's expertise and abilities were paramount. He gave me the legal advice I needed. I am happy to say I currently have joint custody of my children as a dad in the state of Georgia. Not o...nly is Vic an amazing attorney, he has a fantastic staff to support his efforts. I have a bit further to go before I am to my final decree, but I am confident we will have a favorable outcome. If the motions, orders, and negotiations we have had so far are any reflection of what is to come, the sky is the limit. One more thing worth mentioning, I called and made an appointment because I needed to file for divorce immediately. His staff squeezed me in and I was able to get a filing in the very same day. In hindsight that is simply just amazing. I think something bigger than me led me to finding Vic. I wish him all the best in years to come... They have been fantastic in their knowledge of dealing with my ex and women like her. Unfortunately in many cases dads have it very tough. If you are on the fence, please reach out to Mr. Hill. He is a fantastic attorney.

Excellent Advice and Effectiveness in a difficult and complex divorce

Vic Hill has been very knowledgeable, understanding and effective. With my divorce case being multifaceted and way over my head, I had a lot of questions and many concerns. His ability to guide me through this process and avoid potential pitfalls has really helped me. He makes judicious use of time... to maximize the work output for me, and his staff is very conscientious. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone going through a divorce and have already done so myself.

Excellence

This was the first time in my life I needed any kind of legal help. After a consultation with Vic, the decision to move forward him and his staff was easy. He got me through a very tough time. Between the legal maneuverings, Vic and his staff also comforted me emotionally when necessary. The outcome ...was pleasing and exactly what Vic said would happen. I highly recommend Hill MacDonald.

Cleaned up a big divorce mess

Thanks to some bad decisions on my part, and bad advice from my former lawyer, I had gotten myself into a pretty deep hole in my divorce. I hired Vic to help dig me out of that hole, and he did a great job. It took a while (which probably says more about how deep the hole was than anything else), but... ultimately we prevailed - with the help of Vic and a couple of expert witnesses he recommended, the judge saw through all my ex's BS, and I ended up with a very favorable result. I hope I never go through another divorce - but if I do, I'm going to hire Vic first instead of wasting time and money on someone else.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jun 18

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Vic has been opposing counsel on several cases. He is always professional. He does not allow the cases to get personal so that he truly can be a zealous advocate rather than a blind advocate. In my experience with him, he knows when to work towards settlement and when to take a case to trial. He is able to clearly advocate his position, which is helpful for both settlement and trial purposes."
