Professional, Responsive, and Well Prepared - Highly Recommended

Claire Hilliard is professional, responsive, and well prepared. Her guidance is clear and strategic, with a consistent focus on outcomes. She communicates efficiently, anticipates issues, and handles matters with care. I highly recommend her.

Excellent Consultation

I saw C.J. for a Divorce Consultation. She was the second attorney I have seen on the matter, and 10x better than the first. She was excellent and thorough. She gave me an abundance of valuable information. I wish I could have taken better notes because she covered so much great info. She offered to ...extend my session, but I had to run out for a call. She is not the type of person to watch the clock and offered additional assistance if needed. I would gladly hire her if the need arrived. Thanks again!

Excellent Attorney, Highly Recommended

I’m so grateful I found Attorney Claire Hilliard to handle my family law case. She’s extremely hard working, smart & compassionate. She’s an attorney that will tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. Claire kept me informed every step of the way, listened closely to my concern...s and answered all of my questions. I’ve been through 5 other attorneys in the past 9 years that were only in it for the money and not what was in my best interest...Claire is not that attorney. She will work hard for you and your family while keeping your family’s best interest in mind. My only regret is that I didn’t find Claire Hilliard sooner.

Excellent Attorney

Claire was the best choice I could have made to represent me in this process. She had my best interests at heart and is very passionate at what she does. She kept me up to date on what was going on and made sure I understood everything I was signing. I will continue to refer her to anyone looking for... a strong willed, professional and friendly attorney. She is one of a kind and amazing at representing and arguing the case at hand.Even my ex was impressed and is referring her to people he knows.. I couldn't be happier at the way things turned out.

Divorce

After 5 years of being separated, and seeing there was no chance of any type of reconciling my marriage it was time for me to move on. It was very hard living on a limited income for which most Attonery are changing. It was in my own opinion I had a very simple divorce most of the work had already b...een taken care of as in separation of property and personal belongs long ago, but yet I had to go around and try and file my divorce to make it finally and after finding Clair J. Hilliard Esq. on Avvo and telling her of my situation she made the whole processes so easy this took a load off of my shoulders, within 28 days I had my divorce. Now I can move on with my life, I highly recommend to anyone who lives in the Central Florida area to contact Claire J. Hilliard Esq., and thank her very much for making this whole process simple and quick, but most of all less stressful. in my heart she is a "Super Star"!!!!

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.
