About
From Cincinnati, Ohio, Chelsea grew up the daughter of an Ohio Family Law attorney and followed in his footsteps. Licensed to practice in Colorado and New York, Chelsea has experience in family law with divorce, guardianship, adoption, mediation of high-asset estates, allocation of parental responsibilities, and paternity. She is also experienced with military families and the unique obstacles military persons face in family law. Chelsea has a warm and welcoming personality. She believes reaching a person empathetically will benefit the client’s case because trust is invaluable between attorney and client. Chelsea feels patience and the art of listening greatly benefit both client and attorney. Allowing the client to vent and speak before the attorney begins to develop legal strategies is a way to connect with not just the facts of the case, but with the entire person and their life. Chelsea is all about connectivity and bonding to better serve her clients. She utilizes open communication, explaining realistic expectations a client should have while discussing the heart of the client’s goals and develops fully realized pictures of both the client’s needs, concerns and legal goals. Chelsea is not afraid to take a client’s case to court—however she also believes in the importance of settlement and negotiation. It is Chelsea’s goal to make a hard situation a bit easier, and that is through honest and heartfelt connectivity.

Going through a divorce is never easy and most often is painful. This is especially true if the divorce is contested. My divorce drug on for 18 months during which I did not have an attorney. I filed a few motions on my own but at the last minute it looked like I could potentially lose custody of my daughter because I did not have representation. Desperate for help, I called Ms. Chelsea Hillman 5 days before my Final Hearing. Ms. Hillman assured me that she could arrange her schedule and represent me....and she did. I had 2 meetings before the day of the hearing and a strategy was launched. She was confident and she helped build my confidence. She worked closely with the opposing council to hammer out an agreement before our court time which included all the points I wanted in the agreement. She was very knowledgeable in family law and saw the weakness in the opposing attorney. She was amazing. She continues to advise me how to make sure my ex follows the agreement mandated by the court...with this paperwork and her support I feel like I have a team behind me.
She missed deadlines, argued my case poorly, and overbilled to the extent that she nearly faced sanction by the bar for it. Lawyers are a dime a dozen. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere unless you're looking for a reasonable candidate for a malpractice suit.
