    Until I met Mr. Hill I never thought of attorneys as compassionate, but he sure is and cares about his clients. He worked hard on my case and helped me to remember and uncover a lot of details that were helpful to my case. He walked me through the legal process with a lot of patience and answered all my questions in a timely manner. He is amazing.

    I give David Hill Attorney of Law my highest recommendation. Without him and his staff, I would not be a free man getting to spend time with family and love ones. Mr. Hill and his staff worked diligently on my case from the first phone call I gave. Even years after my court case he still keeps in contact to see how I’m doing. I would call Mr. Hill again in a heartbeat. Again I am very grateful to Attorney David Hill.

    I was falsely accused of domestic violence (DV4) on August 12th 2016 in a very harsh retaliation attack from my ex girlfriend because I evicted her out of my home. She told the DA I had attacked and beat her two week prior to me evicting her, but waited two days after I evicted her to report it. Even though a deputy sheriff was aware of the entire situation and was present during the eviction the DA still wanted to charge me even though I was completely innocent of the allegations against me. After posting bail, I immediately researched for the best lawyer that handles domestic violence charges in Oregon. The choice was clear, so I called David Hill and he set up an appointment for me immediately. Myself being a combat wounded veteran with 5 combat tours and being diagnosed PTD I was sure the DA was going to go for the max punishment and take away my gun rights. I could not believe this was happening to me, my anxiety hit the roof and severe depression set in immediately. Once I had my first meeting with David Hill, he also being a veteran, he clearly could see my emotional state and asked me my side of what took place. David quickly assured me that he could and would defeat the charges against me in court and explained to me that this happens more than people think. He clearly went over the process of fighting the false charges and was extremely knowledgeable of the Justice system. By the time I left his office I had a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I had a total of 3 court appearances before a judge and the DA and my ex girlfriend failed to appear to any of them. I firmly believe that David Hill built such a solid case for me that the DA feared being embarrassed in from of the Judge and the court. The DA continuously kept pushing my final court date back month after month because they were trying to build a case stronger than David Hills, but they finally realized it was pointless and gave up and dropped all charges 5 months after my arrest date. I never in my life thought I’d be in front of a Judge, especially being innocent! So please don’t think this can’t happen to you! If you do find yourself in this situation remember there are rules you must follow, 1st rule is the police are definitely NOT your friends! 2nd rule is the police are allowed to lie to you! 3rd rule is do not be a potty mouth! 4th rule is treat the authorities with the upmost respect, they are only following orders from the DA. The final and most important rule is to contact David Hill immediately! Failure to do so could negatively affect the rest of your life. David Hill will give you instructions and guidance throughout the entire process, it would be in your best interest to listen and do exactly what he says, your future really does depend on it! I rate my experience with David Hill a solid 10 out of 10 and I highly recommend him to defend you. Five out of five stars.

    When we were thrown a nightmare, we searched for an attorney with experience in our case (robbery 1, robbery 2, unlawful use of a weapon). Hiring a good attorney is only a part of what to look for, one who believes in you and ready to defend you is a major factor. Not only did Mr. Hill believe in me, he hired investigators, expert witnesses and kept close communications with us. Mr. Hill proved his ability beyond what we imagined, backed by his years of knowledge and a great secretary, honest and hard working team delivered more than expected. Mr. Hill is great trial attorney and won our case. 5+ star rating, highly recommend.

    Mr. Hill does what other lawyers only say they can do, which is give you realistic options and effective representation. He knows how to win. From the first time I told Mr. Hill about the facts of my case he immediately recognized where the police had violated the law and vigorously attacked the state’s case. After four and a half years, through effective trial representation which kept me from going to prison, he won my case in the Court of Appeals and preserved that win in the Oregon Supreme Court. All my charges have now been dismissed. On a more personal level, Mr. Hill understands how criminal proceedings can wreck someone’s life, and through this almost five year ordeal he has shown me nothing but concern and compassion. If you need an effective attorney who cares what happens to you, Dave Hill is your guy.

    Winning a criminal case can mean a lot of different things. Depending on the facts and circumstances of a case, winning could mean an acquittal at trial. It could mean getting the charges dropped, dismissed or significantly reduced.
