Hilder & Associates, P.C.

Stephanie McGuire of Hilder & Associates is an outstanding lawyer. She is knowledgeable, professional, and has great communication skills. As a lawyer, I have consulted with Stephanie on numerous occasions, and she always provides thoughtful insight into any legal issue. Along with her legal abilities, she is personable and direct. She will provide a client with an honest assessment. I do not hesitate to refer clients, friends, and family members to Stephanie because with her legal skills and abilities, she will obtain the best possible outcome. Hilder & Associates is lucky to have Stephanie McGuire of counsel.

I am happy and proud to share that after 7 years I am 100% a free man. Mr Hilder and Ms McGuire guided me through a multi agency and multi national FCPA conspiracy case that could have ended much worse had it not been for their concern for my well being and ultimately that of my family. On May 2016 I got the knock on my door that would turn our world upside down until the 1 year reduction of my supervised release the team at Hilder & Associates was able to deliver June 2nd 2023. I would not have done it differently, I read some of these reviews and feel like I am reading a Disney novel, utter nonsense. No. 4:17-cr-00006

From the very beginning, I encountered numerous difficulties in communicating with their team. They consistently failed to respond to my inquiries in a timely manner, if at all. It became apparent that they lacked the basic courtesy and respect for their clients, as well as a genuine commitment to resolving the matter at hand.

Moreover, I was deeply disturbed by their evasive tactics and the constant stream of excuses they employed to avoid addressing the fraud allegations against John Fernandez. Instead of engaging in a meaningful discussion and taking decisive action, they seemed more interested in deflecting responsibility and protecting their own interests.

I made an appointment with the assistants at the law firm to deliver a Demand Notice. Despite driving for an hour and waiting patiently for 45 minutes, I received no acknowledgment or welcome upon my arrival. This lack of professionalism and basic courtesy left me feeling unwelcome and unsafe to discuss anything personal. It is clear that Hilder Law does not prioritize conducting business in a professional and client-centric manner.

Furthermore, during my initial interactions, I had a legal advisor who drafted my first Demand Notice. However, when the lawyer from Hilder Law learned that my advisor was registered in Texas, she expressed her unwillingness to communicate with him. In response, I made the conscious decision to sever ties with my legal advisor and represent myself. I took the time to draft a second Demand Notice, clearly stating that I would be representing myself in this matter.

Despite my explicit declaration of self-representation, Stephanie from Hilder Law sent a message to my previous legal advisor, reiterating her unwillingness to communicate with me. This behavior not only displays their unprofessionalism but also their disregard for clear instructions and requests outlined in the second Demand Notice.

I would also like to note that despite my attempts to engage with Hilder Law, I have yet to receive a response from them. If they continue to disregard my attempts at communication, I will not hesitate to take all necessary legal measures to ensure that my rights are protected and justice is served. It is of utmost importance to me that the fraudulent actions of John Fernandez, a client of Hilder Law, are exposed and addressed appropriately.

For further reference and to shed light on the seriousness of the situation, I would like to attach an article published by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding John Fernandez's Ponzi scheme. The article provides important information about his fraudulent activities and serves as evidence of the need for swift and decisive legal action.

I hope that by sharing this information and my experience with Hilder Law, others will be cautious and informed when seeking legal representation. It is essential to work with professionals who prioritize their clients' interests and demonstrate a commitment to upholding the principles of justice.

My overall experience with Hilder Law has been marked by a complete lack of acknowledgment, unprofessionalism, and an avoidance of addressing the fraud allegations related to John Fernandez. This conduct is highly concerning and does not inspire confidence or trust in their services.

Based on my personal encounter, I strongly caution anyone seeking legal representation to reconsider engaging with Hilder Law. Their actions have demonstrated a concerning lack of professionalism, a failure to address clients' needs, and an unwillingness to conduct business in a manner that inspires confidence and trust.
