We are a Central Florida family law firm that provides supportive legal services to families undergoing change. Family law governs the rights and responsibilities of those in domestic relationships that are in a state of transition. Our focus is negotiation, mediation or aggressive court representation for our client's domestic issues, which are often due to the termination of a relationship.
Much of our practice deals with the settlement of matters related to, and including, the dissolution of marriage. This encompasses many areas, such as divorce, alimony, equitable distribution and injunctions. If there are children as a result of the marriage, there are many child related matters such as financial support, timesharing issues, parenting plans, paternity, contempt and modifications of court orders.

I hired Claire for my divorce. She went above and beyond what I could have imagined. I had no idea what I was about to face. Between assets, custody, alimony and so much heart-ache. Despite any chaos that came along the way, Claire knew how to keep every situation grounded. She was beyond knowledgeable and reasonable with everything. She was always available when I had a question and she was with me every step of the way and in every detail of my case. She was 100% vested in my situation and she cared about me and my children's overall well being. Always one step ahead and prepared for any situation

I can not say enough about Clair. She treats you like a person, not a number. When you need someone who will truly listen, give you a honest opinion and then go the extra mile for you Clair is the one. I highly recommend her to any and everyone.

As I read some of these other reviews for Claire Hilliard – Attorney, I notice similar reviews showing that she is genuine with everyone! If you are looking for a compassionate, caring and professional attorney, then look no farther! When I first reached out to Claire, I of course had my doubts about just another attorney but to my surprise she was very attentive and compassionate and did not make me feel like just another case on her desk. A caring person at heart I believe and always has the best interests in mind for you. Excellent communication with constant updates and advise along the way

I’m so grateful I found Attorney Claire Hilliard to handle my family law case. She’s extremely hard working, smart & compassionate. She’s an attorney that will tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. Claire kept me informed every step of the way, listened closely to my concerns and answered all of my questions. I’ve been through 5 other attorneys in the past 9 years that were only in it for the money and not what was in my best interest...Claire is not that attorney. She will work hard for you and your family while keeping your family’s best interest in mind. My

I needed to have some various legal work done and I could not have been happier with Claire Hilliard. She did not make me feel like yet another number, but actually took the time to listen to my concerns. Claire was very no nonsense and very straight to the point on what needed to be done, and I appreciated that. She was very thorough in her research and promptly returned phone calls to keep me informed every step of the way. I was so pleased with her professionalism and expertise, I have recommended her services to several family members. They were also impressed with both the excellent customer

Claire Hilliard redefines the standard of your typical divorce lawyer. Unlike popular belief that comes with being a lawyer, she puts quality of work above quality of profit. She goes above and beyond for her clients regardless of what day or time it is. She was very accessible and promptly returned missed phone calls. She is incredibly thorough in her work and research. She was more than capable of handling the complexities and abnormalities of my case in an above-average timely manner. She is incredibly smart and knowledgeable but has a way of giving you information that is easy to understand
