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,

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.

Personable Professional

Vic Hill has restored my faith in Attorneys and people in general. He is personable, reliable and professional. He has been by my side, defending me in a very stressful and unpredictable situation against a very unethical person. He has listened to all my concerns and addressed them with knowledge... and wisdom and care. He is the example of a lawyer who chose his profession for the right reasons, to make sure justice is sought. His humor and energy certainly make a stressful situation much more comfortable. The whole staff at Hill Macdonald Law Firm is fabulous, Betsy, Jessica, Brandy, Brad and Vic are welcoming, responsive and caring. I couldnt say enough about my satisfaction in hiring Vic Brown Hill.

An Excellent Family Law Attorney

I have met many attorneys and by far would and have recommend Mr. Hill for family law needs. I have had Mr. Hill handle an appeal which we prevailed and various other task for the well-being of my son. Not once have I ever been disappointed in his work and results he produced in my cases. He is we...ll experienced in what he is doing, will work as hard as possible for you, and has a well rounded view of your situation to come up with the best solution. His ethics are very high and he is not here to take your money but to help you in every way possible. His creative thinking and wisdom of the law brings solutions that are practical, bringing about the best situation possible for you and your family. I have trusted Mr. Hill with the most precious and valuable person in my life, my son. And if the need ever rises again I will absolutely be using him again. Much thanks from a very grateful client

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."

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.
