What People Say

Why Lars A. Hilton Hilton Legal, LLC

Unlike many attorneys, I entered the legal profession after working for a number of years in an industrial setting instead of going straight through college and law school into law practice. This "real life" experience has been very helpful in the hundreds of cases I have handled since becoming a lawyer. I relate to my clients and their legal problems with a better understanding of what they are going through.

Skilled Attorneys

After working with law firms in California and New York I decided to become a sole practitioner for a number of reasons. I learned that multi-attorney firms are more concerned with billing the clients than solving client problems. Furthermore, clients in large firms are less likely to maintain the level of communication needed to properly administer their cases because they are charged for every second of time. I will not charge you for every two minute phone call or piece of paper I print out on your behalf. I make myself available to my clients because I know that legal problems can be very stressful and communication is the key to a successful outcome..

Low Cost

I model my fee structure after my father's. William M. Hilton (January 27, 1934 - November 20, 2009) was well regarded as one of the world's foremost legal experts in the field of interstate and international child custody jurisdiction. Other attorneys often told him he could charge double what he did for his level of expertise. He felt that because his fees and fee structure were reasonable, his clients were better able to afford and pay for his services.

Strategy

Not every case needs to be litigated. With careful and thoughtful preparation, some cases can be resolved informally through simple negotiation and/or mediation. In evaluating your case, we will discuss Alternative Dispute Resolution and if you approve, we will make an attempt to resolve your legal problem without litigation, or with as little legal wrangling as possible..

You Stay Informed

In talking with juries after trials, I confirmed that they clearly understood the arguments I made in each case. They felt like they had come to an informed and just verdict. Over ninety percent of my jury trials to date have resulted in a favorable outcome to my clients.
