Our WORK

In addition to insightful analysis and carefully researched and substantiated opinions, Mr. Hilsee speaks and writes on notice issues. While steeped in experience executing the most comprehensive and complex notice and media plans in class action history, in order to maintain neutral credibility in today’s “low-bid wins” environment, The Hilsee Group no longer executes notice plans, nor undertakes legal advertising or media management. Also, the Hilsee Group charter caps compensation and mandates charitable contributions including for judicial education to enhance the delivery and effectiveness of legal notice and due process.
