Hilary and her firm compassionately and expertly walked me through the most difficult time in my life - divorce, catching details I would not have considered and making sure that I got the best settlement for myself and my children. It was my goal to be fair, kind, and diplomatic to my ex, who is not an easy man to get along with. They allowed me to review all correspondence before it went to him, and change wording as I saw fit so as not to provoke him. It worked. My divorce was amicable, fair, and, as divorces go, easy. Everyone at the firm that I had any interaction with, email or phone, was professional and kind and knew my case personally. I can't say enough about Grunyk and Hilary and her team. No one wants to go through a divorce, but if you have to, Hilary and her team will make sure you maintain your dignity and sanity through the process.

I hired Hilary from Grunyk Family Law to represent me in my divorce. I wanted a law firm who had a stellar reputation with morals and ethics. I was very nervous to go down this path knowing my ex had hired two attorneys and was trying to strip me of every penny after 17 years of marriage and two kids. I can honestly say that Hilary stuck with me, answered all my questions, was always responsive to my emails and calls. She showed up for court even the days I couldn’t to fight my fight. Her entire staff is amazing. She only charged me when she did work without nickel and dimming me for every little thing. After my divorce I was able to provide for my children under a new roof, had peace again and could rebuild my life with incredible ease. I recommend Hilary Sefton in the highest regard. Don't know how I would have made it without her. She is smart, knows the law and works with an amazing amount of integrity in which everyone saw. Whether you are a man or woman, she will do the finest job for you because that is who she is. I am so grateful to Grunyk Family law and Hilary Sefton. She is truly the best attorney! Choose Her!

I needed to end an 18 year marriage for the safety, security, and happiness of myself and my daughters. With Ms. Sefton's guidance we were able to do so efficiently, and as painlessly as possible for all parties. Thanks to her counsel, we were able to move forward to an amicable resolution. I highly recommend Hilary Sefton.

I have hired Hilary on a few occasions and she has never let me down. She handles my toughest fights with dignity and grace and consistently sees me through to the end when dealing with my ex. She is more than "winning" the case - she is "caring" for her client. I have and will continue to recommend Hilary Sefton.

I had a chance to work with Hilary Sefton about a year ago and I have to say her level of representation was impeccable. Hilary is the ultimate professional while still showing true compassion to her clients during a difficult transitional period in life. She works with a wonderful team and helped make the process of legal separation and divorce a better alternative for me. She is a tremendous advocate for her clients.

As with anyone else who has been through this process, I'm sure they'd agree it is a brutal experience. It's hard to make a point to anyone involved, namely lawyers and judges, because they have opinions that make no sense, and memories that leave much to be desired. In this light, I consider myself fortunate to have used Hilary Sefton. She was the one coherent person in the whole process. Organized, had a good memory and didn't need to go over the same things countless times, and this may sound small but it isn't - the motions and petitions she scribes are well written and understandable. On top of those things, all of which are obviously important, Hilary is also just good at what she does. She'll give it to you straight. She won't have you "chasing rainbows" or going down paths that get you nowhere. Again, my opinion of the entire system is pretty low, so I was glad to have found Hilary and someone who I met with once to go over the big ticket items, and then just got out of the way. It's worth me repeating again that she didn't constantly need to ask for the same information over and over (a divorce lawyer trick), was organized, and remembered the items and topics important to me, the client. Some of these things may seem obvious, but after going through two previous lawyers and dealing with a know nothing judge and opposing counsel who did nothing to facilitate a settlement, I wish I'd used Hilary the entire time. It would have saved me months of squabbling and thousands of dollars. If you're going through the unfortunate circumstance of divorce, seriously, do yourself a favor and hire Hilary. She listens. She can write. In a bad experience, she is professional and does it right. I was so impressed with her I referred two of my friends to her already.
