Great job.

Jeff did a great job handling a recent DWI case for me. Once I was charged I immediately panicked and began thinking the worst. I spoke to Jeff on the recommendation of a friend who used him for a different type of issue. Jeff resolved my issue in a way that I never truly thought possible, and he and... his assistant Onnalee were both very helpful with any questions I had. I will hopefully never need legal representation again, but if I do, I know who I am calling. I definitely recommend Jeff for any need you can think of.

DUI Case

I saw Jeff H. for a DUI case. I was pulled over for driving without my lights on and was later arrested for a DUI. I was given tickets for both things. At this time I was a minor. I hired Jeff as my lawyer and by the end of everything he was able to reduce my DUI charge down to nothing at all and I w...as able to walk away with just the tickets for driving without my lights on, only having to take a VIP class for the DUI I would have been charged for. I paid that fine for my lights and the case was closed. I was beyond happy with these results. I went into this with hopes my DUI charges could be reduced to something like maybe an MIP but I wasn't even left with that. I will 100% refer anyone I know to Jeff for any of their legal needs. I highly recommend him. Not only is he good at what he does but he is very kind and easy to work with.

Jeff's professionalism

Jeff Hilbrenner’s office was recommended to me to deal with my DWI case. I wanted a competent law firm as I was not proud of what happened to me and naturally I needed expertise, professionalism and privacy from a lawyer. After contacting his office, they immediately put me in contact with Jeff Hil...brenner himself. He immediately took ownership of my case and gave me a preliminary consultation. That was to be expected, but with the complications of my case and my previous record, he easily provided me with the feeling of security combined with his knowledge and competence. One very important factor was that he was quickly able to determine my type of personality/character which allowed him to support me “on my own level”. He provided a great communication platform in which we could work together. Thinking about how past lawyers are somewhat vague on the potential outcome, with a case declining throughout the process – this was not the way Jeff handled my case. He was straight forward, did much investigating and then presented me with options. He remained positive throughout my case. His professional competence was again proven when he presented me with the final options for the resolution of my case. We decided on the best course of action which was presented during my court date. I was nervous on the outcome, but I watched Jeff present the details of the case and all was resolved as he had planned. Jeff’s also had a great relationship with the prosecutor – I could see that during my court appearance. In summary, I would easily ask for Jeff’s help again if needed and I recommend to anyone in contacting Jeff to help solve your legal concerns.

Jeff Hilbrenner does great work

Jeff Hilbrenner lived up to the expectations set fourth by the people who recommended him to me. He is very professional and genuinely has your best interests in mind while handling your case. He is very wiling to work with you and your schedule in meeting with you and is very diligent with you pape...rwork. Recent he was able to get my second alcohol offense reduced to a fine. Jeff made the whole process very stress free and easy.

Jeff Hilbrenner review

Jeff was extremely helpful and professional in getting my expungement processed. Him and his staff reached out to me, were always availabe/responsive. He notified me that I could get a BAC conviction expunged, gave me the information and completed everything in a timely fashion. I would highly recomm...end Jeff Hilbrenner.
