About Donald Arthur
Donald Arthur Hilland is a former attorney based in San Fernando, California, who specialized in personal injury, criminal law, family law, employment law, immigration law, civil rights, and domestic violence cases. He earned his Juris Doctor from the University of West Los Angeles. Throughout his career, Hilland was recognized with the Witkin Award for Academic Excellence.
Hilland was admitted to the California State Bar in 2002. However, in 2017, he faced disciplinary action resulting in a 12-month suspension and three years of probation. The suspension was due to multiple counts of moral turpitude, dishonesty, and corruption, including falsifying bankruptcy documents.
In 2022, he was disbarred for further violations, including disobeying a court order and engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. Prior to his disbarment, Hilland operated his law office at 209 N Maclay Avenue, San Fernando, CA 91340-2908. His practice areas encompassed personal injury, criminal law, family law, employment law, immigration law, civil rights, and domestic violence.
He was also listed in the Avvo directory as an employment and labor lawyer — Hilland's disciplinary history has significantly impacted his professional standing. The California State Bar's official records reflect his disbarment, and he is no longer authorized to practice law in California. Given his disbarment, individuals seeking legal representation in the areas Hilland once practiced should consult current, licensed attorneys to ensure competent and ethical legal assistance.
