The law firm of Mr Hiltzheimer is one of the best form in the states. Mr Hiltzheimer ( Benjamin Hiltzheimer ) is one of the most knowledgeable, honest , down to earth lawyers, I reached out to him for help in a horrible criminal accusation , I was so confused and horrified ( although I was 100 percent innocent of any charges ) , so I called the number listed online at 9:15 pm , a lady operator took my phone call, and asked me to place on hold , 4 minutes or less of waiting , I heard mr Benjamin Hiltzheimer voice introducing himself and asking me how can he help , the phone call was directed to his personal cellphone , which will never happen in any other case , I did explain to him what happen and what evidences I have , and he was truly so knowledgeable, supportive , and confident of my innocence, 30 minutes later on his personal cellphone , we decided to proceed , he gave me his personal cellphone , he was dealing me as if am a family member or a brother , I was amazed of some o e of this power to be this down to earth and humble. Mr Benjamin Hiltzheimer follow up with me the next day , and within 24 hours I was proven innocent and no charges was applied. I truly wish mr Benjamin Hiltzheimer and his family all the happiness of the world , and god protect him and be with him for more and more success , this is an unusual experience to be received from a well known lawyer. It’s a very good feeling to know that some one is getting your back , specially when you are innocent and the whole world against you. I truly thank you mr Benjamin Hiltzheimer for all your help and support , bless your heart , and bless you for your family and friends.
