I have been practicing family law for over 15 years and have extensive experience in a variety of cases including divorce, child custody issues, modifications, and child support issues. I worked for a well established family law attorney upon graduating from law school, and then had my own practice for over eight years. In September 2012, I had an opportunity to join Noelke English Maples St. Leger and Blair and have been with this firm since that time. I have also practiced employment law, commercial litigation, and trademark law, so I have a broad depth of experience in other areas as well.

In the 10 years I have known and practiced with and around Hillery, she has proven over and over again to be unfailingly honest, hardworking, and so very talented at every aspect of the family law practice. Some lawyers are good in court, some are good researchers, some are good at connecting with clients: Hillery does it all--as well or better than anyone I know, myself included. I would send my own family to Hillery.

Hillery is an excellent attorney, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a family law attorney. Hillary is a strong advocate for her clients, and is well respected among the legal community.
Kacy Dudley, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jun 9, 2014

I endorse this lawyer.

Hillery Kaplan is fantastic family attorney. Not only does she have over ten years of experience but she is thorough and incredibly personable. Mrs. Kaplan has always impressed me with her ability to couple a no-nonsense approach without losing that human compassion which keeps her clients returning to her time and time again. Mrs. Kaplan has a wealth of knowledge regarding both the law and the local Travis County community which she expertly uses to serve each and every one of her clients' individual needs. Given the nature of family law and the level of emotion that can be involved in such cases, I cannot think of a more capable, compassionate attorney I would recommend to assist families through their legal matters.
