Great Experience

No one ever wants to fall into a situation where you need to hire a criminal defense lawyer, however I found myself in a situation where that was my only option. I was lost and afraid for I and my family and what the implications of my legal troubles could cost us. Then I found Robert!!! We are so gl...ad and beyond satisfied with the outcome of the case. Robert was amazing all through the process. He really knew what he was doing. He was helpful, knowledgeable, professional, responded very quick, and most of all very sincere. If you need a good and honest lawyer who will exhibit the highest level of professionalism then I strongly suggest you talk to Robert Hills. You will not be disappointed.

An attorney with INTEGRITY

Robert Hills has taken car of a few legal issues regarding evictions with tenants in some of my rental properties. He was always up front and gave me good advice on the best way to handle these cases. Because of his handling of these small legal situations, we asked Robert to handle my older son's c...ase when he made some bad decisions and was faced with dire consequences. Robert was able to walk us through the different possibilities that may occur. He was upfront and told us what we needed to hear not what we wanted to hear. In the end because of his diligence and knowledge, he was able to put together and deal for my son that is unheard of by many of his fellow attorneys. Because of what Robert did for my son, my son is able to make the changes in his life to get back on the right path. I would trust Robert if we needed his services again and would recommend him to others. We are very grateful to Robert and what he was able to do for our son and his family. He is an attorney with incredible integrity and knowledge.

Attorney that cares!

Down to earth and honest attorney. He always kept me informed on my case and was always prepared for my hearings. I was really stressed out with my charges because it was my first time being arrested and was afraid of going to jail. Mr. Hills was compassionate and made sure I understood the process a...nd prepared me for everything. He spent a lot of time with me and I could tell he worked hard on my case. I ended up with fines and didn't go to jail, and I am so thankful! Highly recommended!

Former Criminal Client

I would highly recommend Robert for any type of criminal matter. Robert was very thorough and provided me with all the options given the circumstances of my DUI case. It is a relief when you can walk into a courtroom knowing that your lawyer is prepared and ready to defend your case. I was extremel...y satisfied by the deal Robert was able to work out for me in which I avoided jail time. Robert kept me informed and is very knowledgable regarding a variety of misdemeanors and felonies.
