Jonathan Blake Hilty

I had the pleasure of working with Blake as my Family Law attorney for 3+ years. Blake was instrumental in guiding me through a very complex divorce and custody battle with a successful outcome. He kept me informed during the entire process and ensured that I fully understood my options at all tim...es. I have recommended Blake to friends and he would be my first choice should I need to hire a Family Law attorney again.

I hired J. Blake Hilty under difficult circumstances for myself. I had lost visitation with my children, my saving were removed from joint accounts, demands I divide my business interests, and requests that I forfeit my interest in the family home. During the year long divorce process Mr. Hilty worke...d to restore my rights. I now share custody of my children. My business interests are my sole and separate property. The family home was agreed be divided with equal equity to both parties. The results of my divorce ended better than I could have hoped for. For the commitment, dedication, and personal attention Blake Hilty showed me this is what I can state without reservation: for command of the legal system, understanding of complex business issues, constant efforts to better position a client, positive efforts with the other side, superior negotiating skills, and working with arbitrators. This man’s efforts on my behalf truly: “EXCEPTIONAL”.

I am incredibly thankful that Blake Hilty was my family law attorney for my case. He took the time to get to know me and formulated a plan to help me and my children. He provided sound guidance that helped calm my fears every step of the way. He treats you with compassion and understands the strain t...hat divorce and custody cases has on you. I found that he and his staff at Socius Law Group were always responsive. Blake has a straightforward way of explaining complicated topics that helps you make huge decisions. He can tell if there was something he said that you might not have comprehended fully and won’t proceed until you understand. Blake will give you the range of outcomes before going to court and give you his expectation to help you mentally prepare for the result. I found that Blake was incredibly prepared, made excellent arguments and knew every detail of the case during court hearings. Blake selected the perfect mediator for my case whose style allowed us to come to an agreement that was beneficial to all involved thus avoiding the expensive costs of a trial. I would recommend to anyone looking for a family law attorney to get in touch with Blake Hilty.

Blake Hilty helped me with my divorce case. It was a long case with several complications, including inability to see my child. Blake was very responsive, returning emails very quickly and letting me know when he was in court or not available. He provided a strategy and was helpful in defining goals ...and sticking to them. He was responsive and in-line with my desire to not be aggressive or confrontational but to stick to the main goals of seeking a fair settlement and an equitable parenting plan, which we were able to achieve. There were times when I didn't think this would be the outcome. He was able to explain the way the law works and used examples that were easy to understand. He also would provide different scenarios. His knowledge of the case was excellent, recalling things pretty much on the spot. I highly recommend Blake Hilty and his work.

Blake helped me win a summary judgement that was brought forth in the midst of an ongoing custody dispute with my child's father. The motion for this summary judgement was unexpected, very poorly done by the opposing counsel, and I had no choice but to spend that last of my legal funds in preparing ...my response to the motion. Blake volunteered to work with me in finalizing my response and he represented me at the hearing pro bono. Not only did we win but I was also awarded full attorney's fees. Blake's generosity and professionalism put some humanity back into this very difficult legal process for me. Blake was clear and concise in the court room, he was firm and clearly has a strong confidence in the court room. He showed great compassion towards me and the situation I was in and I really appreciated that. He was fast in his communication and responses to me and I was always kept informed of what the next steps were. I am so grateful and satisfied with my experience with Blake and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an effective and compassionate lawyer.
