“I had a friend that was in need of a Local attorney. Being friends with a highly rated Attorney from Portland, I asked him if he knew of anyone in Eastern Oregon that was very good. He didn’t hesitate and said Steve Hill in Pendleton. So I refered my friend to him and his case was a high profile injury claim against a Major US company. Not an easy case but he must have gotten my friend a pretty good settlement because he had an ear to ear smile for a couple of weeks after he announced that his case had been settled.
So due to a vehicle accident I found myself in need of an attorney and didn’t hesitate, going directly to Steve. He did a fantastic job on my case as did his staff. They kept me up to date and informed as my case progressed. I’m 100% happy with how it turned out and I highly recommend Steve and his staff if you’re ever in need of a first class attorney.”

“Hill Law Office rocks! Having never been injured in a car accident before, I had no idea what to expect. Steve and the staff at Hill Law Office walked me through it very gently, honestly and were open-minded with me. I appreciated their help so much. The whole office staff is warm and wonderful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would recommend Hill Law Office to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney.”

“I was hit by a car resulting in a broken collar bone, months of rehabilitation, and summer plans that had to be cancelled. After several months of negotiating with the responsible party’s insurance company I was unable to reach what I considered a reasonable settlement so I contacted Hill Law Office.
Steve provided me with affordable, sound advice in a low-pressure environment and he and his staff were helpful, responsive, and easy to work with. The result was a net-settlement that exceeded my expectations and that I am sure I would not have been able to achieve without the help of Steve and his staff.
Initially I was uncertain about contacting an attorney because I didn’t want the hassle, I was concerned about the cost, and I was sure I could handle things my own. Turns out I was wrong on all accounts. My only regret is that I didn’t contact Hill Law Offices sooner.”

“I would like to say a huge “Thank you” to Mr. Steve Hill and his legal team for all the work they did to prepare for my court case. Not once did they waiver in their work to find experts to testify on my behalf and explain the injury I received when we were hit by a drunk driver.
Again thank you all so much for not giving up, and keeping me focused on the end result.”

“In February 2013, my quiet world was turned upside down by a head on collision with a drunk driver, the very night my first grandchild was born! You would think surviving a horrific crash means the worst part is over, but it really isn’t, the nightmare begins the day after. I needed someone I could trust and someone who would take care of my best interest. That someone was Steve Hill and Hill Law Office. He made sure I had the time I needed to heal and deal with the aftermath of that night, while sheltering me from the barrage of phone calls and paperwork from the insurance companies who wanted nothing more than a rush settlement. My well-being was always the #1 priority and I always felt that way. I truly, highly recommend Hill Law Office, they are the exact people you dream of having on your side and they are people you can wholeheartedly TRUST.”

“I was injured at a hotel where I stepped on part of a syringe. I spoke with Steve Hill and asked for assistance in recovering medical costs. Steve and his staff were very professional and courteous. He knew exactly what to do with my case. He reached a settlement with the insurance company representing the hotel, which allowed me to cover all of my medical costs. If it wasn’t for Steve Hill and his staff, I would have ended up covering the costs myself and the owners of the hotel would have allowed me to do so. Thank you Steve and staff. You guys are wonderful and run a top rate firm.”

“Comfort and conversation.” Those were the words that Joni Mitchell wrote in the late ’60s and they came to mind when I first met Steve and his marvelous staff during a difficult period in my life. I was involved in two major motor vehicle accidents in a 13-month period and all of my concerns were quickly and professionally addressed by Steve and his staff. If I could, I would send up a bouquet of balloons that say, “Pick Steve Hill as your attorney.” Comfort, caring and conversation!”

“I was in a motor vehicle accident involving a driver who ran a stop sign. He received a ticket for failure to stop. I was injured, and my vehicle was totaled. His insurance company refused to accept responsibility. I made one phone call, and met with Steven Hill. He knew exactly what to do. I am very grateful to Steven. I was all alone, hurt, and angry. His knowledge and trustworthiness got my life back on track. Please don’t hesitate to call him.”
