Excellent Attorney

Ms. Styer is a great attorney. She really helped me through a difficult time and kept me informed of everything that was going on in my case. She was very knowledgeable and got a great outcome for me.

Hire Hilary if you need an attorney!

Hilary was my attorney during a difficult time period in my life. She was very knowledgeable and kept me updated on my case constantly. She made a difficult situation go smoothly and I was very satisfied with my representation.

Just think twice.

Hilary handled a custody hearing for me. Her lack of preparation and seasoning showed in court. 90% of her questions to my ex were confirming information that was asked and answered on direct examination. She made herself look even more unprepared than she actually was. She allowed evidence in th...at I've since learned any attorney worth half their salt would have excluded for a number of different reasons (I learned this the hard way - by having to find a new attorney who was able to get virtually ALL of it excluded or severely limited for a number of reasons). The bottom line was overall poor representation of me in court and extreme dissatisfaction by me. I actually wanted to ask her to stop cross examining my ex with questions that she's already answered about where she lives, and works, and where our children go to school - there was nothing of substance and I was embarrassed for both of us. Needless to say, the poor outcome was to be expected when opposing counsel has a 5" thick binder of information and hours of questions prepared and your attorney has a legal pad with your name, your ex's name, and your children's names and birth dates scribbled on the front page with nothing else.

As an attorney who is in the courtroom almost every day, I take pride in my litigation skills and case preparation. However, the situation described above does not sound familiar to me. Since this reviewer has chosen to post anonymously, I am not able to directly respond to this review.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
