Excellent, Hard Working, and Top Notch Lawyer Whose Reputation Speaks for itself!
I hired Jack Hilgeman after an Auto Accident and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Jack is a very matter of fact lawyer who sets realistic expectations and then works ward to exceed them. Because Jack HIlgeman and his paralegal Michelle make an awesome team, both are client driven and focused on results. Unlike the big name law firm who I originally had the displeasure of working with (DGM&S), Jack made sure to keep his promises. Even better, Jack is always available to answer questions via phone or email! I asked a LOT of them and he patiently answered each and every one. Ultimately, my settlement fell right into line with what Jack projected. 5 Stars. I'd recommend Jack Hilgeman to anyone who has been involved in an auto accident and is seeking legal representation.

Really listens and cares
I interviewed 3 different attorneys for my car accident case, but Jack seemed like the only one who actually cared. He came to visit me which really helped us out. Went way above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of while waiting for my case to work its way through the system. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

Fantastic Lawyer
No one wants to be injured in a car accident. But when I was I had Jack as my lawyer and he did everything in his power to get me a fair settlement that I would have not gotten without him. So thank you Jack and team for having my back during this time.

Great Client Experience
Jack represented me after I was involved in a car accident in 2016. I could have not chose a better lawyer than Jack. He was honest with me and worked with me to get the best outcome. Jack was consistent with phone calls, emails and anything I needed. All my questions were answered and he gave me the best advice about my case. I would highly recommend Jack to everyone. This was my first time ever dealing with getting a lawyer but Jack and Michelle made everything work out great. I couldn't thank them enough. If anything ever came up in the future I would definitely like Jack to represent me. Thanks for everything Jack may many more blessings come your way.

Personal Injury Lawyer
Mr. Hilgeman had represented me after an accident in April 2016 that had placed me in Miami Valley Trauma floor for a week. I sustained multiple injuries that caused me to lose work for three months. Battling this injury, we had hired him to battle the legal stuff so I wouldn't have to worry about something else. When we requested him, he had personally came to meet me to learn about my case, because I was unable to met with him in his office. He was very professional, caring, and motivated to provide me with the best care and get the best outcome we could get. Not once did I feel he was only there to get his share of the money. He stopped the nonstop calls I was receiving from the other guys insurance immediately, always asked for my input, great with communicating, and would make sure you knew exactly what was going on. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again if I ever needed to be represented again in the future.

Excellence in his field
Jack was in constant communication when necessary and went above and beyond normal service by making sure to follow up with me after the claim where I was injured after being hit by a semi truck to make sure I was okay and that he did everything he could to help.

Represented me in a Car accident case settlement---Elmo
I retained Jack Hilgeman in March of 2015. He and his paralegal Michelle Kossler (in fact all the HNB people) provided a through and fast resolution for the settlement of my case. This case was very complicated and involved not only our lawsuit against the auto insurance company, but also dealt with the multitude of legal problems created by the hospitals, doctors concerning my surgery and physical therapy! Mr. Hilgeman and staff were very capable at resolving these issues quickly and to my benefit. If I ever have a personal injury case again I would pick Jack and HNB to represent me.

Great Client Experience
Jack represented me from 2014-2015 on a personal injury claim and on a property damage claim following an auto accident in early 2013. After meeting with many attorneys throughout the Dayton and Cincinnati area, I scheduled a meeting with Jack and was immediately impressed with his authenticity, presence, and expertise. After the first meeting, I hired Jack, and Jack delivered results. He set realistic expectations, communicated clearly, gave me regular updates, was accessible, and always provided honest feedback and insights. Once I hired Jack, both of my claims received immediate attention from the at-fault driver’s adjusters and council, and our timeline began to move more quickly. Even more importantly, as we navigated the process, Jack was honest and transparent during our discussions and provided me all the information & insights he could to put me in the best position to make a well-informed decision. Having this trust in Jack’s advice and expertise was paramount and changed the trajectory of my experience through the claims process. And given Jack’s expertise and commitment, we reached two favorable resolutions out of court. For anyone seeking council, Jack is an expert with an impressive commitment to favorable client results and positive client experiences. Jack is the professional who will represent your interests most effectively, and I can definitively say, I am glad Jack was on my side of the table!

Outstanding Representation
This was our first personal injury suit and it seemed very daunting. After our first meeting with Jack, we felt at ease and confident and hired him on the spot! He was always determined and considerate. We were kept updated with any information and he took time to speak with us about any concerns we had. The insurance company we were up against was very stubborn and would not budge, but Jack was persistent and fought for us all the way! Jack and his team are top notch and Michelle went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly. We couldn't thank them all enough! I could not imagine our family using any other law firm. Five stars just aren't enough.

Thanks Mr. Hilgeman
I inquired about help with a personal injury claim. Mr. Hilgeman accepted my case and was very helpful with the steps I needed to take. They have fought hard for my case. I really appreciate how they handled my case. They took care of all the things that concerned my well being. They were very patient with my claim and because of their dedication I received the maximum allowed back... I have referred much of my family to this law firm and we have had excellent results. I am very thankful for the law firm....
