Highly Recommend

Nothing prepares you for the messiness of divorce, especially one involving kids. But having Hilary as an advocate was a huge win! From preparing for mediation, to navigating a difficult ex, to years later assisting with custody issues that arose, Hilary helped me each step of the way. She kept my ki...ds’ well being paramount. I felt seen and heard. She managed a balance of being firm and not backing down, while at the same time not antagonizing the opposition. I am more than satisfied with Hilary and continue to recommend her to anyone needing a lawyer!

Made my life so much better!!!

With everything going on during the pandemic there are a lot of unknowns out there as to how to proceed. Ms. Boyer was extremely professional and knew her stuff when dealing with child custody issues. She was able to put my mind at ease with how to proceed during this difficult time. I will not hesit...ate to go with her again if I need any more help.

The Epitome of "Knowledge is Power"

Hilary is knowledgable, professional, and invested in her clients. My situation was extreme, but Hilary fought (endlessly) for the safety and welfare of me and my kids. She is committed to her clients and has the expertise and experience to provide outstanding representation. You will not find anothe...r more capable or dedicated to navigating you through this process. She is amazing!

Extremely knowledgeable and an amazing advocate

HIlary Boyer has an amazing grasp of family law. She was spot-on with guiding the direction of my case which brought a conclusion that I believe was truly in the best interest of our family. Her breadth of knowledge supported our family by implementing safeguards and step-ups to protect the health o...f my family. She was able to strike a balance for all involved while navigating tricky family dynamics all the while advocating for safety and best interest of the children. I was especially impressed with her knowledge of mental health issues and how to implement protective measures. She was always professional, competent, supportive, and helped build my confidence to stand on my own and move forward with healthy boundaries. I wholeheartedly recommend her service and abilities.

Wow! I'm so pleased with Hilary

I called Hilary and WOW. She took the time to clearly explain options that my client had and was able to set up a consultantion that led to me looking like a rockstar for introducing my client to her. I also learned so much in a minute call about options when things blow up and you aren't even sure i...f you want to divorce or separate... I can't reccomend Hilary enough. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and professional: she is also compassionate and that is HUGE for dealing with people at such tumultuous times in their life.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Hilary knows the Family Code better than anyone I know. She knows the law and which forms need to be filed in just about every scenario you can imagine. She is very strategic in her approach to resolving cases!"

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Hilary Boyer is an excellent choice for any client going through a divorce or family law matter. She is highly compassionate and ethical, yet still a fierce advocate for her clients. She has exceptional research and critical thinking skills, but also knows how to meet and exceed client goals on a practical level. Many attorneys are excellent in theory-based realms but often forget about the real world effect on a person's daily life; Hilary keeps the practical effects in perspective. She works hard to benefit her clients in that legal, theoretical realm, but also keeps an eye toward moving clients through a painful process into more peaceful and secure waters. Hilary is my go-to choice if I need to refer anyone to a family law attorney in San Diego County. She is rational and easy to work with, but not swayed by challenging circumstances or personalities. I highly recommend Hilary Boyer to anyone seeking representation for a family law case."
