Auto Accident.....Awesome Lawyer!!!

I thought Ms. Hilton did an awesome job of handling my case. I felt I got a fair settlement and also it was in a timely fashion for me. I was always up to date on what was going on,and was always able to reach her either through email or by phone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with a sim...ilar case. Also she handle my case while in another town and I had no problems with communication,she went out her way to make sure I received my settlement without evening have to leave town,that took the cake for me!

C C Drouant

Catherine Hilton handled my lawsuit on behalf of my deceased mother. She kept me informed and up to date on all stages of my lawsuit. Catherine did an excellent job in seeing my lawsuit to a recovery that we were very happy with. I could not have asked for a more capable and knowldegeable attorney....

Divorce Case

Catherine represented me in my divorce. My ex went through 3 different attorneys; Catherine stood by me and was a rock. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and caring. She helped me make the right decisions that needed to be made. She made sure every little detail was covered. She truly car...ed about the case. She is a remarkable woman that I would trust on any case.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
