About Hillary

Hillary has been an active member of the Pennsylvania family law community for the past 20 years. For the past 10 years, Hillary's practice has been limited to Bucks and Montgomery Counties. As a local practictioner, she is familiar with all of the "ins and outs" of local family law practice which varies greatly from county to county. While Hillary is a skilled litigator and has extensive experience handling complex divorce matters, she is also trained in areas of alternative dispute resolution. She is a certified mediator, a trained arbitrator and has been specially trained as a collaborative lawyer. The collaborative divorce process is an out-of-court, multidisciplinary method of resolving divorce related issues. Through the collaborative process, the parties work with their attorneys to achieve results in a less adversarial setting. Hillary was named by Philadelphia Magazine and Law and Politics Magazine as a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer Rising Star for the years 2006 – 2010 and to Best Lawyers in America in 2014 and 2015. Hillary contributed to the book, "Slicing Up the Pie: Property Distribution in Pennsylvania" published by the Pennsylvania Bar Institute Press. She has also been featured as a case note contributor for the Pennsylvania Family Lawyer, a publication of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and has authored articles for The Legal Intelligencer, including "The Impact of Social Media on Family Law Matters" in 2013 and "Post-Retirement Benefits in Matrimonial Litigation" in 2014. On top of her contributions to legal publications, she often lectures on a variety of family law topics. Hillary is an active member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and Bucks County Bar Associaton Family Law Sections. She is also a member of the Doris Jonas Freed American Inn of Court.
