Friendly, not in it just for money

John was super kind from the start. We met with three lawyers, and John was without a doubt the easiest decision to make. The other two lawyers we met with were clearly just pushing papers through the process and only cared about money. John didn't seem that way at all and walked us through every ste...p of the process and even kept is updated the entire year it took to finally close our case.

John Hilla

John was highly recommended to us and after a consultation we were comfortable hiring him. He was low-key, patient, and up-front. He clearly outlined the process and the choices we needed to make. John readily and speedily answered our questions. He handled an unexpected curve thrown our way calmly a...nd expertly. We are pleased to recommend him.

An excellent attorney

Mr. Hilla, John, helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Finding yourself in the position requiring filing bankruptcy, to me, was overwhelming. John was very kind, understanding and guided me through the process with grace and care. He helped me to understand that bad things happen to ...good people and that there is life after all this, and there is. He maintained contact and answered calls and e-mails very quickly. I would recommend John to anyone who finds themselves in this very unfortunate position.

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.
