What We Don't Do

At Hilderbran Hitchcock, we have been intentional in limiting our services to those things we do well. We do not provide litigation services, but we will readily find a litigation attorney outside of our firm with experience or expertise specific to your issue. If you are a client of our firm and a dispute arises for which you need the services of a litigation attorney, we will stay involved as general counsel to assist you in understanding and overseeing the work of the litigation attorney.
