Hilton & Somer, LLC was recommended to me due to an auto accident. I went in thinking that I wasn't going to be able to do anything. Robin and Rob were great with me and my family. They explained each and every step with what was going to happen and what will be happening next. They were compassionate with our concerns and took on the insurance adjusters for us so we didn't have to. Thank you Robin and Rob for all that you did and I know that I said it the entire time but we appreciate everything you did for us!!

I would like to say THANK YOU to Mr. Somer and his paralegal Robin Smith. They were always there whenever I needed them. And whenever I called or emailed, they answered with no hesitation. I appreciate the fact that never gave up on my case even after 4 years. There are no words to really describe how much I admire and appreciate how knowledgeable, professional, and considerate. The part I would like everyone to know is throughout the entire process they were truthful, ethical, and explained everything in great detail which kept me aware of every step of my case.

No words can explain my extreme gratitude to Hilton & Somer LLC. I highly recommend their law firm to anyone who was in an accident. They helped me with two of my cases and a recent personal ‘legal’ matter. Mr. Somer truly is a great lawyer, precise, detailed oriented, but also a very compassionate human being. As a retired veteran I believe that integrity is a paramount leadership virtue. Mr. Somer is a man of integrity, compassionate who stands by truth and so is his ‘A’ team (Robin and Maribel). They worked hard, quick to relay updates and answer my questions. After being injured I was lost at what to do, but they took care of everything. They were expert problem solvers summarizing my needs, concerns, challenges and finding solid resolutions to finalize my case. Mr. Somer stood strong, committed and truly devoted regarding legal rules of law and went to battle for me. Thank you so much Mr. Somer, Robin, Maribel and Myrna. I am so grateful for all your help.
