Even though we had just a small personal injury case, we were treated with respect and care by Hilley & Solis and received a just and fair result due to their work. Derek Hilley is not only an effective attorney, but a true professional and a gentleman.

Derek Hilley and his partner Carlos Solis (Hilley & Solis) achieved a dismissal in my case against some serious odds. The charge against me was a misdemeanor where I was facing the very real possibility of a year in jail in addition to probation and a fine. The prosecution possessed numerous strong...

"I endorse this lawyer. Derek is very knowledgeable and his experience is very valuable when dealing with prosecutors."
"Derek is a fantastic lawyer. We have tried several cases together and I was impressed with his trial skills. He knows his stuff."
"I endorse this lawyer. He and his law firm are well respected and very hard working for their clients."
"Zealous advocate for his clients. I highly recommend Derek and his law firm for any Employment or Labor Law related issues."
"In my many years of practice, I have worked with and against many attorneys throughout the state. Mr. Hilley is a knowledgeable hard working attorney that is an asset to anyone he represents. I highly endorse him and would confidently recommend him to anyone, including my own friends and family."
"I have known Derek Hilley for close to ten years. I have worked alongside and against him. His integrity and legal skill are of the highest caliber. I endorse this lawyer without reservation."
"Derek is the epitome of an advocate and a Constitutional warrior. I went to law school with Derek and subsequently worked with him in criminal cases where my clients were charged with a crime when he was a prosecutor with the Bexar County DA's Office. He is one of only a handful of prosecutors that truly understood that the role of a prosecutor is to ensure that justice is done and not merely to obtain convictions. Although many prosecutors will readily assert this as their ethical obligation, very few in my experience actually implement this important ideal into practice. The DA's Office truly lost a role model that could have benefited many young attorneys in their office. At the same time the citizens of Bexar County have gained a special advocate that is determined to seek lady justice wherever she maybe hidden or suppressed in the most important and difficult of cases. Believe me this is not easy and only the strongest, such as Derek, are up to the task."
