Virtual Consultation Available
As a child of divorce herself, Hillary Roberts identifies with her clients’ circumstances on the most personal level, and understands the profound effects that divorce has on a family.
"I want my clients to know that I genuinely care. I care about their lives, their goals, and their children, and I want them to come through the divorce process in the best emotional and financial health possible."
With a master’s degree in English Language and Literature, Hillary is a persuasive writer and articulate speaker. Whether through her legal writing or in court argument, she embraces the power of language to help her clients share their unique stories, and ensures that their position is clearly asserted and validated.
"I love telling people’s stories. It is so rewarding when my client reads a declaration I have written or listens to my courtroom argument and later tells me, ‘that’s exactly what I wanted to say."
With her strategic approach to cases, Hillary stands prepared to handle cases no matter what direction they take. She’s a tenacious advocate who, skilled in high-conflict litigation, thrives in the courtroom. However, she is also resourceful in finding creative solutions to avoid litigation, thereby eliminating the stress of trial.
