Outstanding!

Andrew, you broke the glass ceiling with my case. 3-cheers! Although we didn’t meet face-face and most of our communications were via e-mails, I didn’t even have to go into too many details. You know the law inside out and express a concern that it was out of your expertise. That’s your brilliance ...right there!

Amazing job

Where can I begin explaining the amazing job Mr.Hillier did. He was able to get a great settlement for my case, answered all of my questions, was very understanding, and so much more. I not once have to worry about having to do anything other than sending my evidence over and took over the rest. Hims...elf and his team did a fabulous job and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Great attorney highly recommend!!

One of the best attorneys that I know. I highly recommend him!! I hired Andrew for a sexual harassment lawsuit against a school district. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life. Andrew handled with such professionalism and support. He was great with communication and suppor...ting me with some pretty hard decisions. Andrew was willing to speak to me when ever I had questions. He not only had my best intentions to protect me and create a better work place but he also taught me a lot about the law and policies around sexual harassment in the work place. Its such a tough topic to talk about but the way Andrew handled the case so great! I'm truly grateful for all he did for me!!!

Exceptional Attorney

Andrew was exceptional to work with. He is highly intelligent and did a great job representing me. From day 1 to the finish line I felt supported and in good hands. If you are looking for a professional to help step you through your legal situation then it would be a mistake not to consult with Andre...w.

"Andy is a talented, trustworthy, and highly intelligent attorney. He is a dogged litigator, not afraid to work up cases that are complex, certainly not afraid to take matters to trial when needed, and generally has an agile and exacting legal mind. I would trust him to represent me in any matter, but his knowledge of California and Federal employment law makes him one of the go-to choices in San Diego."
