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.

The BEST Experience I've Ever Had With A Lawyer...Period.

I'm not someone who usually leaves reviews, but Andrew Hillier absolutely deserves one. Andrew really cares about you as an individual, he's extremely knowledgable, and he is very strategic in his plan. All this while being extremely gracious to top it off. I reached out to Andrew on behalf of my ...69-year-old mom who was let go from her job of 42 years due to her age She had no plans to retire anytime soon and isn't in a financial position to just stop working. Her company effectively singled her out for her age and told her she can no longer come into work because they feared of her possibly contracting COVID-19 and holding the company responsible. I reached out to Andrew for help and to get some clarity on what her options were. Being that the company cited COVID-19 as the reasoning for letting my mom go, it was a relatively new topic of discussion. Andrew spent over 3 hours speaking with me. He was incredibly detailed and I could tell that he was genuinely interested in my mom's situation. Sometimes, with other lawyers, you get the feeling that they are reading off of a script, but this is absolutely not the case with Andrew. I asked many questions and he was very thorough in answering them. Not only did he spend over 3 hours speaking with me on two different occasions, he also did a significant amount of research for us. Andrew read through the long chain of emails between my mom's company's HR department and myself. Andrew then laid out a timetable of events and strategy for what we should do next depending as well as the risk and advantages of each strategic decision. Andrew has set a new bar as to what a lawyer/attorney should be and how they should interact with clients. Do not hesitate to reach out to Andrew. You absolutely won't regret it.

"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."
