DUI / Criminal Defense

If you or a loved one has been charged with a crime, it is critically important to retain an experienced criminal defense attorney to advise you and protect your rights.

I am Henry S. Hilles, III , a defense attorney and former prosecutor with offices in Norristown, Montgomery County, PA. 

Former Prosecutor / Experience

Before entering private practice in 1999, I was an Assistant District Attorney for the Montgomery County, PA District Attorney’s Office working in the Major Crimes Unit.  As a prosecutor and defense attorney I have handled hundreds of criminal cases ranging from Capital Homicide (death penalty) cases and Drug Felonies to Driving Under the Influence (DUI), Retail Theft/ Shoplifting and traffic offenses.  Many of these cases involved DUI charges where the person was ultimately admitted into the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) Program.

A defense attorney should have the experience and personal contacts to evaluate all the options that may be available for persons charged with a crime.  It is important to be fully familiar with alternative sentencing programs (such as the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) Program, "Section 17" probation and other creative options) that can result in the best possible result for the client. 

However, while a plea bargain or alternative-sentence resolution such as ARD is sometimes the best option, it is vital to retain an attorney who is not hesitant to take a matter to trial.  Prosecutors can sense when an attorney is afraid of trial and will be less-inclined to offer the best possible deal.  As both a prosecutor and defense counsel, I have a great deal of experience in trying criminal cases.  I have a thorough understanding of criminal defense practice and effective representation and am proud of my ability to come through for my clients.

As an experienced trial attorney, I have the resources to handle complex federal and state cases.  My career as a prosecutor permits me to “speak the language”, properly evaluate a case and negotiate pretrial resolutions where appropriate.  However, if a negotiated resolution is not acceptable, I will certainly not hesitate to take a matter to trial.

Professional Relationships

I have relationships with experts in various fields (e.g., private investigators, toxicologists, forensic psychologists and polygraphers) who I have used to help me evaluate and defend cases.  I am qualified to negotiate an appropriate result or prepare a vigorous defense on behalf of anyone charged with a crime.

Attorney - Client Relationship

A defense attorney and his client must have a close professional working relationship.  I am dedicated to fostering a relationship of trust and respect with my clients by answering their questions, returning calls and emails promptly, keeping them informed and standing by them throughout every stage of the case.  I treat my clients with respect and as an important member of the defense team.  I am proud that many of my existing clients were referred to me by previous clients (and other attorneys) who were satisfied with my performance.
