Andrew Hillier represents California workers in employment cases. For more than a decade, he has dedicated his professional life to protecting the rights of employees. On the front lines of litigation, Andrew has seen first-hand how employers may try to take advantage of their workers – prioritizing profits over the people who create them. But he has also seen that the efforts of a single, brave individual can put a stop to an employer’s illegal practices. Andrew founded Harlan Hillier DiGiacco LLP to assist as many of those people as he can.
While Andrew recognizes that the prospect of a lawsuit can be intimidating, he understands how to guide clients through the process. His style is collaborative. Andrew knows that no two employment cases are alike and no two clients want the same thing from a case. Some want a result they can live with quickly; others want to set a precedent that protects the next person. Andrew works with each client to understand the best approach, then prepares the strategy to match.
Andrew’s zealous advocacy and dedication to his clients have been recognized by Expertise and the San Diego Daily Transcript. He has repeatedly been named a Super Lawyers’ “Rising Star” for his work in employment law. In 2024, he was awarded the Outstanding Trial Lawyer of the Year by the leading advocacy group Consumer Attorneys of San Diego.
Beyond his client work, Andrew is a frequent speaker and former adjunct professor at the University of San Diego School of Law, where he taught classes on trial advocacy for nine years.

Professional, Personable and Proficient
I requested a consultation with Andrew shortly after I had been terminated from my job. I felt I was wrongfully terminated and mistreated by my employer.

Look No Further
Where to start! From the first call to the last email, he has been outstanding. If I ever had any questions about what was going on or where I stood with my case he was ALWAYS just a quick phone call away. Most importantly... for me, he never pulled any punches when it came to the truth of things....
