Who We Are?

Our Mission

The Hilsee Group has been involved in 250 complex legal notifications, delivering notice in the most complex and largest settlements in class action history.

Mr. Hilsee was the first judicially recognized notice expert in the United States and in Canada. He created with the Federal Judicial Center its plain language notice models, its Judges’ Notice and Claims Process Checklist, and contributed to the FJC Pocket Guide on Class Actions, 3d (see www.fjc.gov).  No class action expert practicing today has testified or been cross-examined more frequently in open court, or more effectively, than Mr. Hilsee.
