Overview

Hilda offers clients customized representation in complex litigation.

Hilda always knew she’d be a litigator: she loves the fast pace nature of litigation, as well as investigative research and innovative problem solving to clients’ unique legal needs.

Hilda enjoys taking and defending depositions, motion practice, and collaborating with clients, always taking into account their individual stories and goals. Hilda has significant experience in case management and factual investigation and aims to resolve cases by seeing them through to resolution, whether at trial, through settlement, or by obtaining favorable outcomes through filing dispositive motions. Whether the clients are individuals or large companies, Hilda enjoys advising and working with them to develop strategy. 

Over the years, Hilda has represented companies involved in the manufacture, sale, and distribution of various products ranging from personal care and cosmetics to automotive parts to building and construction materials.

Hilda focuses her practice on the areas of general liability, mass torts, products liability, commercial litigation, and real estate litigation. She also works closely with clients in pre-litigation to advise them of their best course of action to avoid litigation, when possible.

Outside the Office

Hilda enjoys spending time with her husband, their young daughter, and their two rescue dogs, Arya (named after Arya Stark) and Oliver. Having met in law school, Hilda and her husband share a passion for litigation and are always supporting each other’s careers. Outside of the office, Hilda loves to try new restaurants in the Los Angeles area with her husband, read, visit wineries, go to the beach, and hang out with family and friends, and travel. She has visited dozens of cities across Europe, with her favorite being Lake Como. Now as a family of three, local beach getaways, mountain trips, and weekend staycations on the West Coast have been the go-to for travel.
