Jack Hicks is an associate attorney in the Family Law group at Hellmuth & Johnson. He specializes in high-net-worth dissolutions, often involving complex spousal maintenance claims and property division. He enjoys working with clients to reach positive outcomes, whether that is through alternative dispute resolution or going to trial. He has successfully argued in front of judges and worked with them behind the scenes. Jack knows the strategies and tools to get clients the best outcome possible. He understands that dissolving a marriage takes time, patience, and empathy, but sometimes, individuals and their attorneys must be aggressive. Hiring an advocate that differentiates from the two and provides high-level representation, no matter the case, may be the most important decision a person can make. The team at Hellmuth & Johnson provides that specialized service.
