The way they treat their Employees

I would not recommend this law firm to anyone the way they treat people! They should absolutely be ashamed of theirselves on the way they handled one of their own employees trying to better themself and their family! Please do not use this law firm if they could turn their back on one of their top la...wyers that worked so very hard for them just imagine how little they think of their clients! Shame on you’s I will pray for you’s it is absolutely disgusting the way you treat people !!

Will screw anyone over. Good luck.

Money hungry and unfair. Doesn’t care about clients or who she’s seeking to sue. Just $$$$$$.

Compassionate, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, professional

Hilary and her firm compassionately and expertly walked me through the most difficult time in my life - divorce, catching details I would not have considered and making sure that I got the best settlement for myself and my children. It was my goal to be fair, kind, and diplomatic to my ex, who is no...t an easy man to get along with. They allowed me to review all correspondence before it went to him, and change wording as I saw fit so as not to provoke him. It worked. My divorce was amicable, fair, and, as divorces go, easy. Everyone at the firm that I had any interaction with, email or phone, was professional and kind and knew my case personally. I can't say enough about Grunyk and Hilary and her team. No one wants to go through a divorce, but if you have to, Hilary and her team will make sure you maintain your dignity and sanity through the process.

Best Attorney Ever!

I hired Hilary from Grunyk Family Law to represent me in my divorce. I wanted a law firm who had a stellar reputation with morals and ethics. I was very nervous to go down this path knowing my ex had hired two attorneys and was trying to strip me of every penny after 17 years of marriage and two kid...s. I can honestly say that Hilary stuck with me, answered all my questions, was always responsive to my emails and calls. She showed up for court even the days I couldn’t to fight my fight. Her entire staff is amazing. She only charged me when she did work without nickel and dimming me for every little thing. After my divorce I was able to provide for my children under a new roof, had peace again and could rebuild my life with incredible ease. I recommend Hilary Sefton in the highest regard. Don't know how I would have made it without her. She is smart, knows the law and works with an amazing amount of integrity in which everyone saw. Whether you are a man or woman, she will do the finest job for you because that is who she is. I am so grateful to Grunyk Family law and Hilary Sefton. She is truly the best attorney! Choose Her!

A highly skilled attorney and a compassionate advocate

I needed to end an 18 year marriage for the safety, security, and happiness of myself and my daughters. With Ms. Sefton's guidance we were able to do so efficiently, and as painlessly as possible for all parties. Thanks to her counsel, we were able to move forward to an amicable resolution. I high...ly recommend Hilary Sefton.
