Amazing Lawyer

Mr. Hillery was everything I could ask for in an attorney. He took my case knowing that it would be a difficult one, but achieved results that I never thought would be possible. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need.

Outstanding Lawyer

Mr. Hillery took my cases knowing it would be complicated. He easily navigated the difficult circumstances and produced an amazing outcome. I couldn’t be more pleased with his representation. He was attentive throughout the process and fought for me.

Highly recommend!

I consulted a few attorneys prior to finding Scott. From the moment I made that phone call to set up a consultation, I knew I had found the person I wanted to represent me. The office staff was amazingly kind and made me feel at ease through such a difficult time. From the very beginning to the ver...y end. Scott was professional and Took every action in my best interest. Rather it be an easy one, or like mine a difficult one. I will recommend him to anyone. He has exceeded my expectations. I am forever grateful to this legal team.

Threw a winning case

Scott did nothing that was in my best interests. He worked with the opposing counsel and the judge to suppress evidence. He refused to present evidence that was given to him. He allowed my case to be delayed for over a year, guaranteeing the children would not be placed with me. He made deals with th...e opposing counsel that helped them during property division, then told me I had to take the deal. I would have been better off representing myself. He ruined a winning case.

Very thorough and professional

I hired Mr. Hillery for several contractual agreements and he was very prompt and professional on the matter. I also consulted with him on a job I was performing for a third party and he was able to write a contract that protected myself and my customer. Mr. Hillery's communication and professionalis...m are exemplary as is his knowledge of practicing law. I will unquestionably hire him again for my legal needs.

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.
