Superb!

I have nothing but great things to say about HHJ Trial Attorneys. After a car accident last year, I hired them to represent me and it was one of the best decisions of my life! They communicated exceptionally well and made me feel at ease during such a stressful time. I mostly worked with Adam Hepburn..., who was confident, professional, and was extremely dedicated to my case. He was able to obtain a great settlement for the accident and I can't thank him/the firm enough. I will be going to HHJ for all of my future legal needs. HHJ is top tier representation--hire them, you won't regret it!

Best Lawyer in SD!

I got hit by a car when I was riding a bike on PCH up in Carlsbad. I thought I was okay at first but then my knee really started to hurt. Turned out I had a small tear in my knee. I have never needed (or wanted) an attorney before but my family told me I should look at my options. I was told about HH...J Trial Attorneys from a friend at work who had worked with them and I am so freaking happy they put me in touch with them. I spoke to Adam Hepburn from the firm and he was amazing. He explained the whole process to me in a super clear way and made everything so easy. Whenever I called or texted, I got a response immediately. When the insurance company gave some BS offer Adam fought for me the whole time. In the end, we got the maximum amount of money possible. I can't say enough about Adam and his firm. I hope I don't need them ever again but if I did I would never go anywhere else.

Great Attorney

I'm thrilled to have found Adam Hepburn as he helped me tremendously regarding a dog bite incident. First off, Adam not only listened to my story, but believed in me without any hesitation. He communicated very professionally with me throughout the entire process all while showing a great deal of sym...pathy and caring regarding my ongoing medical issues. I was amazed at his quick response to any questions I had. Adam constantly informed me on the progress of my case, and ultimately helped settle the case with a very fair compensation. I would highly recommend Adam Hepburn if you ever find yourself looking for a respectable, hard working, compassionate personal injury attorney. Susan

Adam & HHJ make life easier when you need it most!

Adam Hepburn and HHJ Trial Attorneys are very professional and compassionate in a time my wife and I needed them most. Adam helped me with my personal injury case from a car accident last year. I was referred to Adam through a friend and was immediately provided with a feeling of relief as he made ev...erything seem so clear and understandable. His communication on when and what I needed to do was reassuring as my wife and I had never had to deal with anything like that before. The last thing you want to deal with is insurance as well as court after a car accident, especially if you get injured. My shoulder injury from the accident was lingering, not to mention piling up medical bills. Adam was confident we would be compensated as he personally ensured we would be taken care of, and he was right! He took care of everything and I felt like I was able to focus back on my family, work, and recovering from my injury with less anxiety knowing he was representing us. The comfort you get from HHJ attorneys is not something I expected and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a personal touch in a world that surely needs it right now. Thank you HHJ!

Aggressive & Results Driven Lawyer!

Adam Hepburn from HHJ Trial attorneys represented my wife after she was rear ended by a drunk driver. The driver injured not only my wife, but six others as well. My wife was rushed to the hospital and ultimately unable to work for over a year because of her traumatic brain injury she sustained in th...e accident. This accident upended our whole life. I can’t describe into words how difficult the entire incident was, but it continues to affect our family and more importantly my wife to this day. We hired Adam Hepburn to represent us and after speaking with him we knew he would have our best interest at heart and we could let him take care of everything. Within days, he had the best experts and the best doctors working on the case and he started fighting for us immediately. Anytime we called Adam with questions and concerns he always picked up his phone, even well into the night. He reassured us throughout the whole process that we did not need to worry and always advised us as if we were family which we truly appreciated during this extremely difficult time. We couldn’t be more grateful for all of his help. After fighting on our behalf for over a year, Adam was able to get the insurance company to offer their maximum settlement amount. We walked away with a large sum of money that will help my wife and ease the burden on her long road to recovery. I would recommend Adam Hepburn and his firm to anyone and everyone who needs help like we did. You simply cannot beat their experience, passion, and results. Thank you again, Adam, you helped change our lives and bring some much needed peace during a most difficult time.
