I would whole-heartedly recommend him

The most competent attorney I have ever known…As the mother of a client and a former paralegal, I have to say that Scott Hilderman is the most competent attorney I have ever known. Not only did he get the job done, but from the moment we hired him he made us believe that everything would be alright. I would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone with legal issues. He’s the best!

I Can’t thank you enough…Scott

I Can’t thank you enough…Scott, I can’t thank you enough for the stellar representation I received from you. The stress from legal matters is unsettling to say the least, and it was a monumental relief to have an attorney that gave me assurance that not only was everything going to be alright, but also, that I had somebody on my side. You were confident, helpful, and easily accessible to me to answer any questions I may have had. I would, and will, refer your services to anyone who may need them.

Sincerely, Timothy J. Standiford

T & S, business owners, Kalispell

I have been practicing criminal defense for nearly 40 years. I have known Scott as an opponent, colleague, and co-counsel for much of that time. Scott is the finest and most successful criminal trial attorney I have ever met. He would be my first choice for DUI and Criminal Defense representation. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

You need not worry with Scott Hilderman on your side. From my experience, he is king of his craft; his expertise and knowledge will help you to navigate the complexities of Montana law. In addition, he is patient and kind enough to explain thoroughly anything you may not fully understand. He will put some real effort into working on your case. He makes himself available to you when you need him and you will feel like you are in good hands, which you are when working with Scott. I highly recommended Scott Hilderman for your legal needs, you will not be disappointed.

Karolyn Seidl

Scott gave me some legal advice a few years ago and I really appreciated it. I have referred several friends to him over the years and they have all been very happy. The last friend was found not guilty of a DUI with Scott’s help.

David Thorstenson

Mr. Hilderman is a very committed attorney. He is very knowledgable, knows the law and takes action. You will not be another case file that sits on a back burner, you will be a priority if he accepts your case. I always got the sense that he was the nicest guy in the world, but that he would demolish opposing counsel if it was in my best interest. This is a guy you want on your side. Mr. Hilderman has represented me in the past and was recently recommended to me locally by a large corporation on a personal/corporate issue. I highly recommend Mr. Hilderman, and I do believe one would be fortunate for his representation.

Loretta Fitzhugh

Scott was my divorce attorney I can tell you he got me everything I wanted…and MORE! He cares about his clients and takes the time to keep you informed on your case. I highly recommend him!

Laura Staley

Scott has been my attorney in my post dissolution and parenting case. He has worked tirelessly on my behalf, and no issue I have come to him with has been too small. I would highly recommend his legal services to anyone.

Larissa Anderson

Scott Hilderman is very competent & will take action to resolve your case as well as possible. He was straight forward in his interaction with me & concise in his explanations as well as his plan to handle my case. I am an RN who has the highest standards since my area of expertise was maternal child nursing, NICU/PICU as well as public health. Scott listened carefully, living up to my standards, even exceeding them by delivering precise action which resulted in a dismissal when he took the time & effort to meet face to face & confront the the deputy DA. He told her frankly, she would lose & why. I recommend Scott without reservation & hope you achieve the same favorable outcome which was eluded by a disappointing prior attorney who worked on the case for almost a year. Scott resolved my case in weeks, always delivering what he promised. Knowing I had the top criminal attorney, allowed me to cease worrying which was of enormous psychological value, relieving the stress experienced when the prior attorney lacked the force & respect of his peers to get any results but an insulting “settlement” because he did not take the time or make the effort to meet face to face with the deputy DA. Expect top legal representation with Scott’s knowledge & experience working for you. Thank you Scott for a task well done!
