This attorney took my case and my money and did barely anything. He was completely unprepared for a major custody hearing and withdrew from my case 3 days prior causing me to have no choice but to represent myself in court. Despite having a strong case, it did not go well as my ex had a lawyer present and I am not a lawyer. This attorney is Very unethical. NOT recommended

Poor communication with Jaime. She can't remember what she tells people and now I have a friend that is sitting in I guess is court and I can't be there because she failed to let me know. Typical Law Office.

The five star reviews all sound fake on here. Really, read them. The one star sounds like a real review. I had the same problem. This is a bad lawyer in a good locatolo. I'm just saying please don't hire him in panic mode like I did. After my case was handed off after I paid Mr Hilley. The guy quit and my case tanked. It made a bad situation way worse. Please look into other options.

As a person who has seen how the inside of this office runs (related to one of his previous workers), Mr. Hilley regularly lies about his call times which you pay for by minute and will cheat you out of money claiming work was done when it has not been.

Highly recommend Tim Hilley Law office! I have been with them for over a year with my divorce and another case. Both of the paralegals in his office Jamie and Tina have always gone above and beyond to answer the hundred plus questions I have had for them. They have always returned my calls in a timely manner. I have always been treated with respect and professionalism when in the office or on a phone call. Tim exceeded my expectations with my divorce case. I highly recommend this law office!

Timothy Hilley and his paralegal Jamie have always done me right. Anytime I’ve had questions or concerns, Jamie has always got back with me in a timely manner. I will definitely use them again if ever needed in the future. Highly recommend Timothy Hilley office. 5 stars would give more stars if allowed.

I'm giving 1 star ONLY because I can't put zero stars. They are very unprofessional. Jamie doesn't do her job at all. Doesn't know how to communicate or return calls. The have no problems calling and asking for payments but don't seem to want to do their Job at all. I've had a case with them since Sept 2018. it took almost 7 months just to get them to have my Ex served divorce papers. Then when he responded in his 20 day window they refused to sign for the documents so the case would get closed so they could recieve MONEY. I have only spome With Tim Hilley ONE time back in Sept when I first opened my case. I would NOT what so ever recommend them at all to anyone for anything. I probably should have read and believe these reviews before using them.

I recommend anyone to have Tim Hilley and his assistant Jamie help you in your case. The whole staff is very professional . They are a best team and helped me win my case. They have gone above and beyond and I'm very blessed to have them on my side.

Avoid at all costs - Does not care about the client & if you ask a question about his contract he will refuse you service

Mr Hilley declined my mother's case [Speeding Ticket - she is 69 years old]
What is interesting to me is the timing of his decision.
Right after I questioned a clause on his contract that is open-ended and says whatever costs he incurs in representing my mother can become a charge for her in the future.
Candidly, no sane and sober person should ever agree to such clause, so that leads me to think he is either very unsophisticated, deliberately trying to set people up for unforeseen, unplanned and unbudgeted expenses or just does not care about his potential clients.
As if this wasn't enough, his paralegal tells me that said contract is a standard Florida Bar Contract.
Now, if that is the case, God help us. I dont want to know who created those templates and I feel bad for lawyers who arent creative enough to draft a form that is not so unilateral towards them and actually shows clients they they are protected and cared about.
Then the story gets even better, I make the mistake of calling the florida bar [licensing agency for lawyers/attorneys in the State of Florida]
First thing they tell me:
Mr Hilley used a Standard Florida Bar Contract.
To which I respond: Who am I kidding?
Florida Bar Entity is structured to protect their own and not the consumer of course.
So Mr. Hilley can use the "standard" contract, as unilateral as it is because it is legal [according the the peanut gallery at florida bar] and I reminded "Bill" the attorney who took my complaint that, just a few years ago, slavery was legal too and it took a few people disagreeing with it for change to happen.
But I do agree, that as long as enough people tolerate these nonsensical standard contracts and idiotic attorneys, the consumer have no alternative, these so called professional who are really pseudo professionals or wannabes to thrive in their delusion they are helping the public. Stand up and support lawyers who care and never these command and control incompetent and negligent lawyers who can only advocate in their dreams.
Now the point of the story:
Lawyers have a despicable reputation and it's tough to feel bad for them because they dig a massive grave for themselves so they might as well jump in and enjoy it.

From the minute we stepped foot into the office, I knew we had mad a great choice. The staff is very friendly and professional. They are always on top of things and can help answer any and all questions. Great professional help and great outcome!!

The office of Tim Hilley is one in million! The lovely ladies that are his staff always listen, are patient, caring, understanding and most of all on top of their legal game. Time after time Mr. Hilley and his staff have been there to give honest straight forward advice and counsel to me. Prior to my hiring of this office I had lost hope in the justice system and felt most attorneys had too large of a client base and too much going on to offer personal help and actually care about the outcome of their clients cases, Mr. Hilley's office has changed that! So far I have had favorable outcomes and feel very confident in the abilities of this office to continue to perform well in both family litigation and civil litigation. Truly a top notch legal team that still gives the southern hometown hospitality touch.

There are times in life you encounter the unexpected and unreasonable, I was reminded frequently but patiently the wheels of justice turn slowly and sometimes have the appearance of unequal balance. I have been fortunate enough to have been in this situation only twice and have been more fortunate to have met Mr. Timothy Hilley and his staff. In the first case we received a favorable judgment through determination, research and little known discovery that was applicable to Florida State law. The second case was a bit more complicated "the wheels of justice" but also resulted in a favorable judgment. I thank Mr. Hilley and his awesome staff for their thorough, aggressive and unending determination which resulted in the positive outcome for their client while never losing sight of dignity, and respect with overall honesty.

My husband and I both are so pleased with how great Tim Hilley was in our case. I felt going into court that he was just as anxious as I was for it to be over. It in a sense gave me some relief that I had a man truly wanting the same thing we did. The ladies Mr. Hilley has working for him are exceptional! I felt at times I was so bothersome and they never made me feel like I was. They listened to me and fought for me. I would highly recommend Mr. Hilley to anyone!! I know if I ever need someone to represent me again they will be the first people I will be calling.
