About Steven
Steven Hill is an attorney whose legal training dates back to Southern Methodist University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts, and to Vanderbilt University Law School, where he received his Juris Doctor in 1994. Those years of study set a foundation for a lengthy career in the Georgia bar. He went from classroom to courtroom and has practiced in Georgia for decades.
After law school, Hill established himself in the Georgia legal community. He joined Hill, Kertscher & Wharton, LLP, a firm known in the region for its litigation practice. Over time he has built a practice that draws on the analytical methods emphasized at Vanderbilt and the broader liberal arts perspective he gained at Southern Methodist.
Colleagues describe him as pragmatic in approach. He favors clear analysis over grand rhetoric. That practical bent shows in how he prepares matters and advises clients. In day-to-day work he breaks complex problems into discrete issues. He then addresses each issue with direct argument and careful record-building.
His professional record spans routine filings and more contested proceedings. He has handled matters that required courtroom appearances and those resolved through negotiation. That variety has given him a steady grounding in the mechanics of litigation and client counseling. He also mentors junior lawyers at his firm, passing on procedural knowledge and courtroom tactics that are often learned only through practice.
Outside of casework, Hill has remained connected to the institutions that shaped him. He keeps ties to his law school cohort and participates in professional gatherings around Georgia. He is known for being methodical and reliable when cases demand close attention to detail and firm deadlines.
Today Hill works at Hill, Kertscher & Wharton, LLP in Georgia. He represents clients in matters handled by the firm and focuses his practice on legal work in Georgia at that office.
