Hilliard Law

What Hilliard Law does

Hilliard Law is a privately held, family-owned plaintiff-side law firm founded in 1985 by Robert C. Hilliard, headquartered in Corpus Christi, Texas, with a regional office in Chicago, Illinois. The firm represents individuals and classes in personal injury, automotive and trucking accidents, wrongful death, product liability and mass tort, medical malpractice, pharmaceutical litigation, business and commercial litigation, and social justice/civil rights matters. Its practice spans traditional contingency-fee plaintiff work alongside court-appointed lead counsel responsibilities in major national class actions, including what the firm describes as the largest litigation in US history (the GM ignition switch defect matter, $575M settlement) and a $310M verdict in the Tyre Sampson wrongful death case.

The firm monetizes through contingency fee arrangements: clients pay no attorney fees unless the firm wins, with free initial consultations via phone (866-927-3420) and online intake forms. Its go-to-market is sales-led plaintiff litigation, relying on earned media, content marketing via a long-running blog, community sponsorship (Hilliard Center naming rights in Corpus Christi), and referrals from co-counsel relationships such as the partnership with civil rights attorney Ben Crump. The firm accepts cases nationwide, including California, Illinois, and Mexico-based clients, and has developed dedicated landing pages for emerging mass tort categories (Depo-Provera, PFAS, Suboxone, Semaglutide, Roblox, video game addiction, Tesla/self-driving vehicles). It is owned and operationally led by the Hilliard family — Bob, Catherine, Alex, and Emily Hilliard — with no disclosed external, institutional, or private equity ownership.

The firm reported 101-250 employees. Notable mass tort and high-profile matters are handled in collaboration with co-counsel networks and court-appointed leadership roles. There is no disclosed revenue, and the firm does not have a public API, software products, or technology platform beyond a consumer-facing website used for marketing and case intake.
