HILL & HILL: ATTORNEYS AT LAW

You may have seen the Hill brothers roaming the pits at any given FTR race over the last 15 years, but did you know they are owners of their own law firm? Tommy, 28, and Danny, 25, opened up Hill & Hill Attorneys at Law, PLLC in June. “We wanted to open up our own firm because of the flexibility and we didn’t want to work the way normal law firms function,” says Tommy, who graduated from Florida Coastal School of Law in 2017, “We’re people people, we wanted to create a law firm where people receive the attention they deserve.” Hill & Hill is located in Orange City and specializes in Real Estate, Landlord/ Tenant Law, Business Law, Estate Planning, and Civil Litigation. “Real Estate has always played a big role in our family,” says Danny, who graduated from the University of Florida’s Law Program in 2019, “With real estate its not a hostile experience, we get to use creative means to resolve issues and help people buy property, it’s very rewarding.”

Although the firm just recently opened the Hill brothers have been hard at work in order to get this thing off the ground. “The hardest part was spending the money to get it going, when we had no money coming in,” says Tommy.

Luckily with the help of fellow FTR member Kent Ashby, Hill & Hill was able to get its website and social media pages rolling and began to gain new clientele.

For Danny, being a lawyer was always the plan, “I remember at a young age watching TV thinking, dang, those lawyers are big shots, I want to be a lawyer.” For Tommy It wasn’t so cut and dried, it wasn’t until a couple years into undergrad that he knew what he wanted to do. “I didn’t have a whole lot of direction on what I wanted to pursue as a career,” says Tommy, “I ended up taking a

Tommy Hill Business Law class that was interesting to me, I had a talk with my parents and decided to pursue it.”

The boys first got involved in FTR in 2004 and raced each year consistently, that is until law school came around. While both Tommy and Danny made it out to a few select races during those years, they admit it was hard to keep up with. “For me it was really hard, I think I would only make three or four races a year at that time,” says Tommy “I ended up racing bicycles more because I could practice every day without having to travel.”

For Danny, the races were a way for him to clear his mind of the stress that comes with being a full-time law student, “I took school very seriously, I was really stressed out and at the end of a hare scramble when you’re struggling you get to forget about having to go back to school on Monday.”
