Mika Marie Hilaire

I had the opportunity to meet and work with Mika after a company I worked for termed me, based on what I believed was retaliation to a discrimination complaint I filed. Mika was exceptionally compassionate and patient with my situation. She explained in detail my options then talked me through the... process. I am beyond thankful I had someone like Mika in my corner fighting against the corporate America giant tried to bully and push me around. Mika I am externally grateful for your support and assistance. I probably would have just given up on the process of not for your guidance and wisdom. Thank you Respectfully

I hired the law firm of Hilaire&Mcgriff approximately two years ago to represent me in a race/ retaliation lawsuit against a previous employer. Mika and her colleagues displayed the utmost professionalism, and always kept me abreast of all the developments that were happening in my case. I was in ...awe of this law firm’s legal prowess, and how passionate they are about defending people/ plaintiffs who felt like, in my case, an adverse action was taking against them for making a legitimate complaint. I would definitely hire this law firm again, and I highly recommend this law firm to anyone seeking advice in employment law!

Mika is a hero, seriously. If I wanted to end it at the first sentence it would honestly sum up my entire experience with her. I came to Avvo to thoroughly research attorneys for my employment case. I was very volatile and working in an environment engulfed in sexual harassment culture and race discr...imination . I came across Mika’s profile after speaking to several attorneys before and upon initial contact I knew she was the one. Mika’s educational background, experience in law and overall demeanor are what one can only dream of finding in a professional. I’m really big on energy and Mika has a true kindred soul. She is full of personality and engagement!!! She is well versed and can communicate in many different mediums. That was something I really enjoyed about her. She understood where I came from and she made me feel comfortable in her space. The first day I met with her in a swanky Lil coffee shop near her office downtown, she took the time to understand and really hear my cries and woes about the hostility I was experiencing in my work place. I was able to open up to her very early on about things from my past that I felt would jeopardize my case. Mika allowed me to be transparent with her through and through without judgement or reservations. Her confidence is contagious. I knew Mika would fight for me because she took the time to embrace me as more than just another client. The entire time I worked with Mika I never felt like her client I really felt like a family member. It was easy to get to know Mika and it was clear that she impacts all her clients positively . Mika detailed what I’d expect from my employer and what she expected from me. At no point in time was I left in the dark about what was next or what to do and when to do it. Let me really break down how dedicated this woman was to my case ... I worked a grave yard shift at my job and anytime I felt weary or had a question Mika was UP at 2 in the morning texting me. This was often. She was not bothered. She found ways to get to me in her busy day. I would literally chat with Mika every other day and I spoke to her so frequent I found myself asking her for advice on parenting and career options. Mika had me believing I should follow in her footsteps and practice law too. I really admired her not only as my attorney but as someone to look up to. She became my hero. I was so appreciative of her efforts to see me thrive. Mika always knew what to do and say to ensure me she had the case secured. She never let me down. She fought hard for me to be removed out of that toxic environment and into a new position at a new facility, she fought to find me a therapist that would help me to manage the anxiety and crippling depression I was experiencing from the harassment at work , and she fought to bare the truth from all facets and in the end we were Victorious. Every time her or her husband David (see my review on David next. Super extraordinary!!! ) walked into those depositions it felt like I brought fire with me. I felt untouched. Mika was always 10 steps ahead of the opposing council and is the queen of courtroom rhetoric. Mika truly championed for my success. She was there every step of the way. From the time we sipped those lattes through the depositions and even after the check was cut. I am honored to have had an opportunity to work with her and her AMAZING STAFF (Jenifer is reeeeeallly on top of everything moving!! And see my review on Kipp too. He’s a remarkable attorney) I’m still laughing at the good times Mika and I shared after those deposition where she made it look like a breeze. Mika if you’re reading this THANK YOU, you helped change my family’s life. I have even referred two people to Mika whom are her current clients she’s THAT GOOD !! So there you have it. If you’re seeking someone that is going to advocate for you and get your the victory you deserve Mika and her team will definitely make it happen.

I worked for a major insurance carrier for almost 23 years before I was wrongfully terminated after complaining to management about age and race discrimination that I endured. An attorney handling a class action case against my former employer recommended me to attorney Mika H. Mika agreed to meet ...with me to discuss the facts of my case. We met, she reviewed all of my documents and agreed to represent me. She explained in details how the legal proceedings work, everything from obtaining a right to sue letter, filing the suite, serving the suite, discovery, scheduling depositions and mediation. Mika Hilaire and her staff were absolutely amazing, her style and professionalism exemplify hard work with great results. My case was filed in April and settled by attorney Hilaire in December the same year. I knew that facing a major corporation would be difficult, but attorney Hilaire made sure that I was in good hands. She will always be a hero to me and my family.

Mika was the best attorney in my horrific situation eith my employer. She is very professional and made me feel like I had a superhero on my side. My ex employer was a BIG organization that allowed horrible disriminitory practices to go on. Especially to me Mika quickly shut them down I can go o...n in life feeling vindicated. Hands down the BEST attorney to go up against the big guys.
