Holly Hilton received her law degree from The National Law Center at The George Washington
University and was admitted to the Virginia Bar in 1987. She received her Bachelors of Business
Administration from the School of Government and Business Administration of The George Washington
University in 1981. Since opening her law firm in 2006, she has focused on elder law, estate planning,
probate and property issues. Her experience includes:
- Estate planning, will and trust development
- Long term care and Medicaid planning
- Guardianship litigation
- Probate administration
- Property transfers and litigation
- Small business organization and development
- Contract claims and defense
- Landlord/tenant issues
- Collection of judgments
- Uncontested divorces
- Addressing educational concerns for children in special education
- Other family law matters
Holly's preferences and experience lie in handling cases that
involve personal issues that affect the quality of her clients' lives, such as their legacies to their heirs,
planning for long term care, resolving physical and mental capacity issues in the legal context, organizing
their great ideas into viable businesses, and protecting their treasured property both through trust development
and litigating challenges to property claims. She divides her time between her Charlottesville and Orange offices.
Holly has served as a trained mediator, and is committed to approaching the opposite side of a case in an effort
to negotiate a result that is satisfactory to all, and that takes practical and financial issues into account.
She served on the Board of Directors for Piedmont Dispute Resolution Center for eight years, and held positions of Secretary and Vice President on the Board.
Holly's role as a wife and mother of three children ages 17 - 24 is her most treasured role. The L-rd and her family, including her five pets, are her passion and her joy. The beauty and peace of living in Madison County, enjoying the community, and hosting a home group of Messianic Jewish believers there are counted among her many blessings.
Holly appreciates her clients and thoroughly enjoys relating to them and serving them. She is the Vice Chair of the Aging in Place Business Roundtable at the Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce and has a network of friends and associates in that group that she trusts implicity and enjoys immensely. She also serves the Charlottesville community as President of the Board of Directors of the Youth Orchestras of Central Virginia.
