AMAZING!!

Jeff was amazing and super kind and friendly. He was really understanding of everything that had went on during my case. He got my community service down to only 15 hours and my case was over within four months. I would completely recommend him. Thank you, Jeff!

Not good

I do not think Jeff hillbrenner did a very good job with my case, I was charged $4000 for 3 possession charges in Columbia, then on bond I got another charge in Macon omw to kirksville for drug and alcohol treatment I only had .1 grams of methamphetamine and 6 new little baggies with it and Macon cha...rged me with a distribution charge. Jeff charged me $2500 for that case and so while going back and forth to court on both cases Jeff tells me to take a deal with Columbia offering me 3- 10 years sentencing ran concurrent and Macon offering me 9 year sentences ran concurrent and it was suspended with me doing drug court he said if I was to violate and go to prison the 10 years would over ride the 9 year sentence and which I did violate and go to prison but in fact the 9 years over ran the 10 years and I had to do 25% on the 9 years if the 10 years would of over ran it I would of only did 15% of that time so I could of gotten out a year earlier and not to mention the distribution charge holds a lot of stuff I can’t do now like certain jobs, getting food stamps. Etc…. The 10 years was only class D felonies and the 9 years was a class B. He should of known this being a criminal lawyer and made me take a plea that I had no idea what I was doing. I do not recommend Jeff hillbrenner at karat not for drug charges. I have heard he’s good with other cases but not on mine. This was back in 2016-2017 and was wanting to say something to him but never did until now I missed my daughter graduating high school because of this.

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.

Talented and Professional Lawyer

Mr. Hilbrenner is an incredibly talented lawyer and will give you the best legal defense that you can find in the county. He and his assistant were great to work with and kept me up to date as my case unfolded. I hoped, rather optimistically, that the felony charge that I was faced with could be redu...ced to a misdemeanor that wouldn't jeopardize my future. Jeff exceeded my expectations immeasurably by convincing the prosecutor to dismiss my case entirely. I am grateful for his service and offer my recommendation without reservation.
