Derek Blaine Hilley

When I first met Derek; I immediately knew I was in good hands. Once hired, his good first impression lasted throughout the entire process. He treated my family and I with the utmost respect. Every time Derek and I spoke; he was patient, understanding, and genuine. I could tell he was honest and doin...g everything he could to help me through the process. Derek is very professional, and an outstanding attorney. I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with. I would unquestionably refer him to anyone.

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... elements of evidence against me and an upgrade to a felony was a definite concern. Derek and Carlos hit the ground running and were able to secure favorable elements of evidence on my behalf within two weeks of their engagement. The early initiative they demonstrated was essential to my peace of mind at a very vulnerable time and set the tone for all that was to follow. Thereafter, they were completely proactive through the entire process and their hustle and preparation was the biggest factor in ultimately prevailing. They do a great job of making themselves available. My calls and texts were promptly returned and I was able to go into their office and meet with them in short order. My concerns and questions were a priority for them and were thoroughly addressed in all instances, which was highly reassuring. I truly felt like they cared about me on a personal level and still do. As attorneys, both of them were highly knowledgeable of the applicable statutes and case law precedents. Their colleagues in the office are highly experienced and accomplished attorneys and this collective capability was skillfully applied to my matter. They hold themselves to the same very high standards as their colleagues around them. Ultimately, their hard work, legal knowledge and instincts won the day. A conviction or an on the record deferred adjudication would have been a tremendous and long lasting setback to me on a personal and professional level. I simply can't thank them enough for allowing me to put this behind me and go on with my life.

Derek came highly recommended and did an excellent job handeling my case. He worked hard and actually kept me well informed about the status of my case. He was extremely prompt in responding to all of my calls, texts, and emails. We ended up with a favorable result. A really great job all around!...I... wouldn't hesitate using him again.
