Steven Boyd Hillemann

I hired Steve to handle my divorce. I was only married for 2 1/2 years and didn't have children with my husband. My husband moved into my home and I was told the divorce should be an easy one. My husband wanted money out of the equity in my home. I paid $12,000 to get documents subpoenaed and his ti...me to prepare emails and such. My husband stated he wanted to mediate rather than go to trial. We all met at Steve's office. My ex wanted me to pay him $68,000 out of the equity of my home. We had purchased him a $58,0000 truck and an enclosed trailer. We paid off his school loans in the amount of $17,000, paid off his IRS debt with his ex wife of $10,000 and paid off his credit card debt. In our meeting when Steve brought the preposterous request, his response was that I can just refinance my home and pay him off. I was in tears. We couldn't come to a resolution. After I got home, I sent Steve an email stating I wasn't sure whose side he was on and that only being married 2 1/2 years, I didn't see why I should pay him and he fired me as a client. He did NOTHING to fight for me WHATSOEVER, yet he kept his money.

When I first wanted to hire an attorney for the custody of my kids, I went to a few other places first. Mr. Hillemann is the only one who made me feel like someone was on my side and I didn't have to go through a scary time alone. I was completely lost on what to do and what was going on, but he and ...his Paralegal always explained things in a way I could understand and kept me informed on what was going on. He helped me put together visitation with my ex that worked for me. I have recommended him to everyone I know, for anything they need. My friend told me about Mr. Hillemann when she got divorced and she had nothing but good things to say about him too.

Divorce is hardship on anyone who goes through the process. Steve was upfront and direct when explaining the law and how it applies to my case. He never "promised" me anything and was very responsive to my calls and requests. I understand each case is unique, however, if I have to file any motions... to modify or go through this again, I will be contacting Steve Hillemann.
