Posted by Steve | December 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

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.

Total Trust in Vic... 110%

Going through very tough and turbulent times, having Vic and Brad as attorneys has given me a peace to know they are handling difficult matters in my best interest! Strategic, resourceful, knowledgeable and understanding, all with positive results. I would highly recommend them. Vic, his partner ...Brad and the whole Hill.Macdonald team are the best!

Posted by Edyth | September 09, 2014 | Alimony

A 10 lawyer who deserves a 12!!!!!!

My trial lawyer is Alyson and she has been wonderful getting things done every step of the way in my terrible case of my creepy husband stopping my alimony and levying frivelous suits on me when I have cancer. Now I needed an appeals lawyer because Alyson does not do appeals and highly recommended V...ic Brown Hill in Marietta, Ga. He is wonderful. He is personable and very effective. He wrote a brief that was at least 40 pages long and he mentioned everything that went on in my case as if he were involved from the beginning. The brief was for a frivelous lawsuit my ex levied against me for bad service and the wrong court for my case. This went to the supreme court and was dismissed within 2 weeks. Vic explained how the appeal works and even his paralegals and assistants were wonderful to work with. I just got the call that my ex's case was dismissed and I was awarded another $2500 because of the frivelous nature of his suit because the judges in supreme court said these problems he had were not valid. Vic calls when he says he will and called twice when I was out to tell me the good news and I screamed so loud his hearing must now be impaired. Vics next step is to get this clown into jail in Cincinnati where he ran to in the middle of the night to avoid paying me.This is all because of my wonderful lawyers and why they both have a 10 superb rating. They deserve a 12!!!!! Edyth

When everything depends on your attorney...

My future depended on the competence & skill of my attorney Vic Hill. I had a very complicated divorce case that Vic took on with great confidence. He not only had to deal with cleaning up a huge mess created by my former attorney that could have potentially destroyed my financial future, he also h...ad to deal with opposing counsel filing Motions against me left and right. The largest was to have my entire Settlement Agreement overturned due to mistakes made as far back as the beginning of my divorce. If not for his knowledge and great skill, I would have lost everything due to technicalities. There were many times that the stress was more than I could bare and Vic would always put me at ease. Vic won in Superior Court & just when things seemed to settle down and I could finally take a breath the unthinkable happened, opposing counsel filed with the Georgia Supreme Court to over turn my Settlement Agreement. This was no easy task, but again Vic went to work and blew them out off the water and once again we conquered! There are so many issues over these last several years that have arisen & every single time Vic solved every one of them to my satisfaction. That in itself is an accomplishment, as I will be the first to admit, I am not easy to please at times... I will always recommend Vic to anyone in need of a great attorney!

Superb family law attorney

Vic handled my divorce as a result of my previous attorney dying during the progess of the case. Vic took over smoothly and during the course of the case handled it much better than I believe the previous attorney could have done. In fact, the previous attorney had made a procedural error which was... unexpectedly thrown upon Vic at a hearing. Vic was given the lunch break to respond and he did so with wonderful expertise and won his point. I cannot begin to state how highly I regard Vic and his expert professionalism in his role of a family law attorney. I recommend him to the utmost degree for anyone looking for an atorney to represent them during their divorce or any family law area problem.

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."
