The Best of a Bad Situation

Hillery helped me successfully navigate numerous challenges that resulted from a lengthy and difficult child custody case. She was responsive, informative, and extremely patient with regard to all of my questions and concerns. More important, it seemed like she genuinely cared about doing what was be...st for me and my daughter. Because of that, I feel that I got the best deal possible. I feel very fortunate to have found Hillery to help with my case, especially after some very disappointing and frustrating experiences with some other lawyers in Austin. All family lawyers are not created equal and, in my opinion, Hillery stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Sep 27

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Avvo Rating

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.
