About

I am a Founding Partner, at Hiden, Rott & Oertle, LLP.   I am a firm believer in communication.  I pride myself in keeping clients involved and informed in every step of their case. I also know that it is equally important to communicate with the opposing party and their lawyers, as they are the gate keepers to resolving your claim. While litigation and trial is always an option, I have been extremely successful in resolving our clients claims at early stages in the process, while being able to fully maximize our clients settlements.  The reason for this high success rate is preparation...preparing your case early in the game, so that trial is an option and not merely the only avenue. Because in the end, delays prevent you from getting on with your life and focusing on the positive aspects that involve friends, family and travel, which offers great peace of mind. Not to worry, in the event your case will not informally resolve for a great result that we believe is right for you; your injuries; and the case, we will take your case to trial.   Contact me at your convenience, as I make myself extremely accessible to existing clients, as well as perspective ones.  I have a phenomenal track record.  You will be glad you contacted me.

David is the most Honest Attorney I have ever Known. He is very knowledgeable and will let you know up front if he thinks he can help you are not. He does not charge for hours of work and then say oh I can't help you.

i have had Mr. Hiden on 3 cases which all turned in my favor thanks to his help & expertise which all settled with great results. I have also referred a few of my friends to Mr. Hiden who have nothing but great things to say. He was attentive to my needs and also kept me in the loop of everything that was going on.

David took time out of his day to provide me with legal advice very promptly when I really needed it. I appreciated his responsiveness, professionalism, and information. I highly recommend.

Dave settled several credit cards for me. He got great results, and his fee was very reasonable. He kept me informed throughout the process and led me through it step by step. I can't say enough good things about him. I give him my highest recommendation and will definitely use him again if I'm ever in need of an attorney.

My employer's benefits program referred me to a couple of attorneys who turned out to be duds when it came to handling my legal situation. But when they referred me to David, I hit the jackpot. He quickly gave me the direction I needed and continues to generously provide rapid responses to my questions. Although I haven't met him in person, I can tell that he is a kind and compassionate man.

June 2019, I was with my family on vacation, when we received the worst news of our life (1) We needed to go to court for an unknown reason; (2) our lawyer backed out of a case that we thought had been settled; (3) We found out that she refused to tell us about a settlement, (4) leaving us with thousands of dollars in court costs. Why? Our neighbor was embarrassed at City Hall after we had successfully ended a dog noise complaint - so he kept filing complaints. Our former lawyer turned our Cease and Desist into a SLAPP motion, which removes a person's right to the 5th Amendment. In 9 months of being our lawyer, she refused to meet face-to-face. In court, she did not know who I was until we stood next to each other before the judge. She immediately dismissed herself in court and walked out, leaving me standing in front of the opposing lawyer and judge - wondering, "What just happened?" In the weeks following, we lost a lot of sleep trying to find someone who would be able to stop the accumulating fines and charges. We had spoken with at least 15 lawyers. Most knew about the reputation of our lawyer. All sympathized, but refused, once they asked about the opposing law firm. It was a local Criminal Law firm and the attorney is a friend of our neighbor. All this and we had ultimately done nothing wrong. We finally got in touch with David Hiden, who (although being an Injury Lawyer) decided to take on our case. He said, "I just hate seeing good people get screwed by bad lawyers." David was able to make a settlement with the opposition and filed against our former lawyer, making her pay for most of the costs. I wish I could give the "fairy tale" ending and state that we paid nothing and that our former lawyer lost her license (but that wouldn't be real life, when it comes to lawyers). We did, however, end up paying only a fraction of what it could have been. David, quite literally, saved us from bankruptcy. In the end, we saw what pride and anger can do (from both neighbors and lawyers). We learned that court is no joke and feared for good reason. We have absolutely no intention on ever calling a lawyer again . . . but if we do, we found ONE with the absolute backbone and character to represent us. David: you have a client for life. May God continue to bless you and your firm!

It was a pleasure to deal with an attorney who was strait forward. He did a great job from our first consultation.He was able to lay out to me exactly how my case was going to progress.In the end it was a great decision by me to go with him and his firm.First class attorney.

I needed to find an effective, experienced and intelligent attorney... a professional that has years of knowledge of the WC system, who is tough, well connected with his colleagues and respected in the legal communities within the courts and justice system. When I met David Hiden for the first time during my initial consultation at the firm during my intake, I was impressed by how easy it was to talk and converse with him along with his calming demeanor. David was easy to understand when he explained the process and he possessed a clear and concise communication style. When I had questions, he didn't interrupt, he listened and patiently conveyed back explaining in a way I could easily understand the meaning and purpose. With no arrogance. I was very fortunate to be given his personal cell phone, so we could communicate via text or voice when we needed to check in or report on status. After 7 long years, We had the last piece of documentation needed for the case and David moved forward to propose pressure to the defense for us to move forward to trial or settle. I can ecstatically report, including being pleasantly surprised by the result of the entirety of all my claims was a total success. The award amount was worth the long wait. I owe this victory all to David. Without his professionalism, respect from his peers and gift of persuasion, the results would have been a lot different.
