MEET OUR TEAM
Hill, Kertscher & Wharton, LLP is a law firm established in 2003 with an office in Atlanta, GA. At this office location, there are 9 lawyers practicing employment law, intellectual property, business law and 19 other areas of law.
Steve Hill was the best lawyer I could have ever gotten. I could not have asked for anything more what so ever. He was diligent and won our case when I thought it was hopeless. I would recommend him for lawyer to anyone, anytime.
Steve and Doug were quickly responsive in providing sound legal advice on an urgent matter. I highly recommend this law firm.
Used this firm for a trademark matter and was very impressed by the efficiency and responsiveness. Would use them again if necessary.
I needed help with an employment issue and negotiating a severance package. It was time sensitive and from the moment I contacted Hill Kertscher & Wharton LLP, I felt that they had my back. I worked with the partner Doug and he was very responsive throughout the process. He also gave very practical advice from his experience. Overall, excellent service!
Working with Doug Kertcher was terrific. When you have lost your job and in physician pain it is difficult to think clearly. Not understanding the law or what a workers compensation claim is. Doug throughly explained my claim, outlined in clear language the steps we would take in the process. Doug's patience and knowledge of the law was invaluable to me. Thank you Doug, Holly and Danielle for giving me peace of mind and being there for me! Thank you!
Doug Kertscher is absolutely wonderful.. Highly recommended.
I hired Doug to resolve an employment contract dispute and failed to receive, not just the experience or representation promised, but also the honesty and good faith foundational to any acceptable representation at all. Doug misled me in the final weeks of my case by (a) omitting critical information essential to its proper resolution after (b) forcibly prompting agreement to a course of action of his choosing by (c) threatening to withdraw from his representation of me at the most in opportune time. This took place (d) just days before the deposition of the most critical adverse witnesses (and a few weeks before the expiration of discovery), which (e) Doug steadfastly refused to conduct. Aside from this, Doug persistently engaged in odd displays of self-promotion when mistakes were highlighted and allowed his emotions to overwhelm his judgment and fundamental provision of basic client service.
After mishandling my case, Doug suggested I petition the fee arbitration committee of the Georgia State Bar and file a complaint against him if I wished to recover a portion of the attorney fees I disputed. I followed his advice within one month and, crucially, notified Doug of this. Due to a significant backlog, the committee did not review my petition for nearly one year, which then prompted Doug to falsely claim that, because it had been one year and he had no notice of my intent to file a complaint for recovery of any fees, he did not agree to participate in the process (that he himself earlier offered and I promptly accepted and notified him I would seek). Not only does Doug provide poor representation and not live up to his promises exaggerated and oversold up front, but he then misleads his client and suggests a process he has no intention of following. Worst of all, he is willing to lie to the Georgia State Bar to get himself out of having to face any consequences.
Wow. Crooks. Simple, straight crooks. I can’t believe it, but… it’s true. The work they do for patent trolls companies is profoundly hurtful, just to make a buck. I can’t believe this is allowed. Hope it changes somehow.
