"Max didn't just keep me out of jail - he got the charges dropped!"

"Max didn't just keep me out of jail - he got the charges dropped!"

- John D.

The biggest myth of the American justice system is that you will be treated as innocent until proven guilty.

In my experience, the exact opposite is true.

If you’re under investigation or the police have contacted you about a loved one, this may be one of the scariest days of your life.

And you’re going to need a good defense attorney in your corner.

Working in the legal field has taught me that there are three kinds of lawyers: good, great, and truly exceptional. Attorney Max Hiltner is a truly exceptional attorney...While I hope to never be on the “wrong” side of the law again, Attorney Hiltner would be my only choice.

About Max

I’m known as a trial lawyer who fights tooth and nail for my clients each and every time. I’m often hired by other attorneys to try cases on their behalf, and I’m a faculty member at the Trial Lawyer’s College, leading training sessions on the best ways to try a case. I’ve been honored to frequently speak at CLEs around the country and to teach a Trial Advocacy Course at the University of Akron School of Law.

But the biggest honor of my career is being invited to birthdays, holidays, and wedding celebrations of my clients and their families after we’ve won their case and they’ve gotten to go home.

He is professional, dedicated, honest and cares about the livelihood of his clients and their families. He excels in negotiating and hiring experts necessary for a well rounded defense.

    First time having to use a lawyer, and I was glad that I chose Hiltner. If you want results, he is the man. He fought for me, gave me solid advice, and showed empathy for me during my crisis. He was understanding of my financial situation and gave me time to make my payments. He even provided additional services to help me on other matters that came up not discussed on our contract, which I truthly appreciate. If you want a lawyer that will fight for you with everything that he's got and to treat you with respect, look no further.

    I worked with Max, and he listened to my concerns and desired outcomes, and got me to where I wanted to be. He also explained options at each step and guided me along our legal path to resolution. I trusted him to work for my interests, and he absolutely did.

    Max was the first lawyer we spoke with who we felt actually heard our side of the story. From the first phone call he asked specific questions and was available. Max worked hard to get us the best possible outcome and took time to make sure we knew the legal processes at work. This is the guy you want on your side.
