Chelsea M Hillman
About Chelsea
Biography
From Cincinnati, Ohio, Chelsea grew up the daughter of an Ohio Family Law attorney and followed in his footsteps. Licensed to practice in Colorado and New York, Chelsea has experience in family law with divorce, guardianship, adoption, mediation of high-asset estates, allocation of parental responsibilities, and paternity. She is also experienced with military families and the unique obstacles military persons face in family law.
Chelsea has a warm and welcoming personality. She believes reaching a person empathetically will benefit the client’s case because trust is invaluable between attorney and client. Chelsea feels patience and the art of listening greatly benefit both client and attorney. Allowing the client to vent and speak before the attorney begins to develop legal strategies is a way to connect with not just the facts of the case, but with the entire person and their life. Chelsea is all about connectivity and bonding to better serve her clients. She utilizes open communication, explaining realistic expectations a client should have while discussing the heart of the client’s goals and develops fully realized pictures of both the client’s needs, concerns and legal goals. Chelsea is not afraid to take a client’s case to court—however she also believes in the importance of settlement and negotiation. It is Chelsea’s goal to make a hard situation a bit easier, and that is through honest and heartfelt connectivity.

Stole Money
Lawyer got retainer for $3,000 and said they would represent us and then three weeks later told us that they could not represent us due to their poor job. They then offered a portion of the retainer and not the full. They then recommended another lawyer for $4000. The firm verbally excited us for rep...

Replied last February 28, 2022The firm is sincerely apologetic for the circumstance. However, there was no negligence on our part. Our firm keeps extensive records and we take them seriously. After gathering more data and receiving information from you directly, only then was it represented as a potential conflict as information provided in the past was not reflective of what you had said. This situation was a rare case because of the circumstances of your case which we cannot disclose here. Under the rules of ethics, once a conflict has been identified work is to stop -- which occurred. Your statement of stolen money is factually inaccurate as you were e-mailed notification that your full $3000 retainer would be returned to you, and that has been done.
