Law Offices of Hilary Hedemark

I started working with Hilary two years ago after my mom passed away without a will or trust. Hilary was patient, comforting, and responsive throughout the entire process giving my brother and I, advice about how to navigate through different scenarios as we tried to understand how to proceed with our mother’s husband/​our step dad.
Ultimately, through the process of working with Hilary we learned the importance of a trust and created one for the two of us w/​in the same year. I have since given my entire family trust planning books, which motivated my great Uncle’s family to start working with her.
I cannot stress enough how critical it is that every person and every family have a Trust created, especially if parents are divorced and have children.

My wife and I finally decided that we were long overdue in getting our legal affairs in order — will, living trust, medical directives, power of attorney, etc. So glad we found Hilary! She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Made the entire process fast, understandable and pleasant. These things can be complicated and was great to have her walk us through our options and address these extremely important documents. I highly recommend her.

Hilary helped me set up a trust, living will etc. Don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner. The process was a breeze and that’s just credit to her.

I recently hired Hilary to create my Will, Power of Attorney, Advanced Healthcare Directive and a trust. It was a great experience. I recommend Hilary and would hire her again without hesitation.

Our family was faced with a owner move-​in from our rental home (single family) of 6+ years. We receiving mixed advice from several San Francisco resources before we contacted Hilary to represent us.
Hilary handle things wonderfully! She is well versed in tenant rights and we felt we received the best possible outcome from a unfortunate situation.
Hilary was very timely with her responses and professional in every aspect of working with us and with the attorney representing our former landlord.
We look forward to using her real estate expertise sometime down the road.

Hilary has been remarkable in helping me with my landlord issues. I would recommend her to anyone seeking legal advice.
She was very professional, extremely available for me and I really trusted her through the entire process. She is also really knowledgeable and helped me in difficult situations.
Thanks again Hilary for your kindness and guidance through an extremely stressful time!

Hilary was a great help with a very stressful situation we had regarding the contract for our house purchase. She was available to meet with us very quickly which helped to put us as ease. Hilary’s advice was incredibly clear, coherent and understandable. Even though we are very unfamiliar with the processes and procedures here in the US, Hilary made us very comfortable with understanding the situation we were in and the available options. In less than an hour we knew exactly what we needed to do, why, and what the implications were. We felt so much better after just one meeting and really felt we were in good hands. A true professional, excellent at explaining complicated legal matters in a simple way. I cannot recommend Hilary highly enough and we will use her again soon for other matters.

I’m not one of those people who normally provide write ups on Unilocal,etc. In this case, I think it’s essential to spread the word.
Estate planning is not a death sentence. It’s planning for the people you love for in your demise. Whether this is a wife, husband, child, pet or same sex partner. In my case, same sex partner.
My partner and I, are a gay couple. Managing our assets and assuring both our futures would be addressed should either of us pass was essential to us. We’d seen too many of our friends, colleagues, and loved ones loss everything they worked so hard for as a couple because their affairs were not in order at their demise.
Hilary is not only knowledgeable in her field, she approachable. No question was too small for her and she’s always willing to address them no matter how crazy we thought the question might be.
Thank you Hilary for assuring our home would stay «our home» if one of us should ever leave.
You truly are the best!

She took the time to read and answer questions and offered suggestions without pressuring to set up any appointments. He was thorough and knowledgeable and I would not hesitate to contact her with any future needs.
