    When we first started searching for an attorney, we came across a lot of unprofessional ones that couldn’t even return a phone call. I only called one time to Tricia Hise’s office and immediately knew they were who we wanted to use. Throughout the many months we worked with them, I felt secure and knew my family and myself were in trustworthy hands. Tricia and her team will always be who I recommend as I know they take care of their clients. My family is relieved of such a burden by her efforts, and we will always be grateful for that.

    My husband who resides in Toronto, Canada got a ticket while driving his long haul truck in Georgia. He had not gone back to the states for years due to covid and needed assistance in fighting this ticket. After doing a google search and finding Hotard and Hise, I decided to advise my husband to go with them as the reviews spoke for itself. We have no complaints. We worked with Tricia who was more than accommodating and worked with us to resolve the ticket. They attended the hearing on my husbands behalf saving us the challenges of having to fly out to address this matter. All communication was professional and clear and they followed up with my husband to let him know where they were in the process. Would highly recommend Hotard and Hise.

    I am so thankful for Tricia Hise and her staff. My case was an emergency and she met with me in record time. She cares about me and my kids. She went above and beyond in helping me. She was prepared for court, reviewed all my documents, pictures, and videos I had. She kept me informed every step of the way. We went to court and I saw why they call Tricia the “Bulldog in the courtroom.” She really did a great job. We won! She tore up my ex on the witness stand. I highly recommend Tricia Hise.

    Tricia Hise and Tara Simmons are the best of the best! I reached out to the Law Office of Hotard and Hise to represent me in a divorce and custody case, only to find I would also need them to clear my name after being falsely accused in a criminal matter. Tricia and Tara went above and beyond to make sure my best interests were taken care of, explaining each step along the way. They are dedicated, respected, extremely knowledgeable and fierce in a courtroom. At our first meeting I quickly found she would fight for me and what I wanted. She delivered more than I thought was possible, as she not only fought to get me custody of my daughter, but also custody of my step sons as a result of the Equitable Caregiver Law. It is because of Tricia and Tara I have everything that is important in life… my children.

    Lawyer will put false liens on your property for “unpaid legal fees”. I had to hire another lawyer to get her to confirm she was paid (even after I emailed proof of checks cashed). Be careful she seems to put liens too easily and you won’t ever know til you try to sell your home and it appears.
