About Peter
Biography
I have been a solo practitioner or a partner in a small law firm since graduating from Emory law school in 1988. It is my philosophy to give each client as much individual attention as their case needs for a successful conclusion. In immigration matters, I also advise clients when they have no case to remain in the United States, rather than take a case and say, "sorry," thousands of dollars later. It is better for clients' interests that the client take his or her hard earned money to their home country to start a new life rather than to spend it on a "wild goose chase" with the Federal Government.
I spend little time promoting myself for the benefit of the general public and for my peers, unlike many others in this profession. I find excessive lawyer advertising to be demeaning to the profession and often misleading. I only engage in it minimally in order to allow existing clients and referrals to find me. I do host an occasional radio show in Spanish.
Outside of my law practice, I am an avid golfer and fly fisherman, and a world traveller.

Great Lawyer
I am a fellow attorney who has benefitted greatly from Peter's advice. He is my go-to person on immigration questions. I have learned a tremendous amount of immigration law from his teaching seminars and reading his well-thought out articles. He causes you to think outside the box which is a recip...
Peter Reed Hill's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse Mr. Hill. I have been knowing Peter now for 16 years and i found him to be very talented, tough and thorough. He is a trusted member of the bar and i am proud to endorse him. An asset to our legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Peter is really a lawyer's lawyer when it comes to immigration law. He is also a superb criminal defense attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone who has criminal and/or immigration issues."
"I have known Peter for approximately 20 years. He is a brilliant attorney who practices law in the immigration area. Peter is always seeking the best results for his clients. I worked with Peter on criminal cases where the client was going to be deported unless the criminal case was dismissed or reduced to a misdemeanor. My experience has been that he has been able to prevent the client from being deported. Peter genuinely cares about his clients and treats them like his extended family. He is an honest person with integrity and I am grateful to have had an opportunity to work with him throughout the years."
"In getting to know Mr. Hill when I was practicing immigration law in Atlanta, one of the things I appreciated about him was that he was very generous in sharing his time and considerable immigration law experience with me, particularly in the areas of deportation defense and federal appellate litigation. Even after relocating to California, I've occasionally consulted Mr. Hill about particularly challenging issues of immigration and criminal law. He is known to be tenacious in tough cases, but also aware that litigation is not always the best answer. Although I cannot speak to other practice areas, I know Mr. Hill to be a knowledgeable and experienced immigration attorney, and endorse him in this area."
"I endorse Peter. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
