About

James V Hill, attorney at Russell & Hill, PLLC, makes his home in Snohomish County along with his wife and three children. A lifelong resident of the county, Jim has devoted his law practice to helping people obtain the benefits and compensation they deserve, both in personal injury cases as well as social security disability claims.After graduating with academic honors from Seattle University School of Law, Jim went to work at a law firm that provided legal defense for multiple insurance companies. Working as a lawyer for the insurance companies provided valuable experience and insight into how insurance companies do business, how they value claims, and what they look for when litigating a claim against a plaintiff.In 2002, with the knowledge and information he learned working as an insurance defense attorney, Jim transitioned his legal practice to focus solely on representing injured people against the insurance companies. Jim’s experience working for insurance companies has given him the knowledge to bring a successful claim for injury and the insight to avoid the pitfalls that exist in the settlement and litigation process. Jim has successfully represented hundreds of Snohomish and King county residents in personal injury claims.In 2005, Jim Hill had a handful of personal injury clients ask him for help with their applications for Social Security Disability benefits. After successfully helping these clients obtain disability benefits, Jim noticed similarities between the two areas of legal practice. In both instances, injured people needed help fighting for the compensation that they deserved against entities much larger than an individual – whether the fight was against an insurance company or the federal government. Out of that experience grew a passion to help people with disabilities obtain their rightful benefits.When a physical or mental health condition leaves a person unable to work on a full time, sustained basis, Jim represents the client in all proceedings with the Social Security Administration to get his clients the disability benefits they need and deserve. Most clients have a hearing in front of a federal administrative law judge, and Jim makes sure that his cases are prepared thoroughly and presented in a manner that will best deliver a favorable ruling.Jim Hill continues to be busy with his vibrant and growing law practice at Russell & Hill, PLLC. He splits his time representing hundreds of local people in both personal injury claims and disability claims.

I would recommend Jim Hill to anyone who needs a lawyer for car accidents or whatever. I hired Jim to help with my car accident and he did everything he could to help and get everything handled.

Russell & Hill, PLLC are very professional and knowledgeable. Jim Hill and Diana represented me in my automobile accident. After 2 years of dealing with an insurance company their best offer was $3,600, I enlisted Jim Hill to represent me. When it was all said and done I received a net check in the amount of $107,000. I highly recommend Russell & Hill, PLLC.

I consulted with and hired Jim to resolve an auto accident settlement that had been dragging on for too long. Jim and his legal team immediately worked the case. Their ability to quicky navigate challenges, problem solve, and negotiate favorably on my behalf was extremely beneficial. Jim and his team delivered a settlement that was better than expected. Great lawyer to work with!

Mr. Hill and everyone else at his practice have been kindly guides for me throughout the process of navigating insurance company yahoos after my accident. Without their help, I would have long ago given up on this process. And although my neck and back will never be the same, I can walk away from this experience not like a victim but as a survivor. A huge thank you!
