Very professional, honest and compassionate lawyer!
Kindness goes a long way. Mr. Hilts did not represent me. He did, however, provide a consultation. I was very impressed with the prompt call back. Although he couldn’t take my particular case, he was able to refer me elsewhere. He was very personable, courteous, and respectful throughout my interaction with him. His manner was kind and considerate, and not in the least rushed or hurried. If I did retain a personal injury counsel, it would be Mr. Hilts. He is the epitome of what an attorney should strive to be.
I had a car accident in 2015 that left me injured. I had no lawyer and no reference, so I simply search "attorney" and my zipcode on a search engine and found Ryan. I called him and several other attorneys. He answered my call right away, talked with me for a while and we set up an appointment to meet. I really enjoyed meeting him from the start and hired him the first day. He fought hard for me, never accepting the minimum ... always working for what was truly fair for me and not stopping until I told him I was truly satisfied. I never felt pressured with Ryan. He answered all my emails and calls right away and handled all the questions from the insurance companies so that I could focus on my healing. I truly appreciated his work ethic, his drive, and all the time and focus he put in to helping me. I would recommend him to anyone who is seeking a personal injury lawyer.

Integrity First
I hired Ryan to represent me in a personal injury matter. I have many years of legal experience and was inclined to represent myself, however I decided to hire him so I could focus on healing. Ryan's fee agreement was fair, equitable and easy for even a lay person to understand. Throughout my case, Ryan displayed competency and integrity, the latter especially being hard to find these days.

Excellent representation. Will use again next time.
My recent interaction with Ryan on a personal injury case made a significant impression on me. His professionalism was matched by his attention to detail and work ethic—all of which were crucial to a success outcome.
In a lifetime of positive experiences with attorneys, Ryan’s behavior still stands out as a reminder of the positive qualities and characteristics that should be present in all attorneys.

Ryan Hilts Did A Great Job For Me!
Ryan did a fantastic job handling my case, despite many complications that happened along the way. At one point I temporarily relocated to Italy, and he still managed to keep in constant contact with me! He is friendly but professional and I always felt I could call him for any reason. No question was too silly or small - Ryan was happy to take the time to answer all of my questions, and keep me informed on the many changes my case took. He did a great job and in the end got a better result than others had told me to hope for!

Excellent Legal Experience
I was recommended to Mr. Hilts by a friend when I had my car accident. I was very impressed with his knowledge and the way he guided me through the process. I appreciated that he always returned my calls and kept me informed about the progress of my case.
I had a great result, thanks to his efforts on my behalf. It was far better than I had expected and I would highly recommend him to any one involved in an accident.

"Ryan is an excellent lawyer. I've had the pleasure of working against him on numerous cases when I did insurance defense. He has a strong work ethic and always maintains a professional demeanor.
Now that I only do personal injury type work, I continue to work with Ryan, albeit as a peer. Ryan and I regularly discuss legal issues and in particular how they affect our cases."
