JJ Hill

FOUNDING PARTNER

J.J. Hill is the engine behind some of New York’s most hard-fought personal injury and workers’ compensation victories. As co-founding partner of Shulman & Hill, J.J. has helped lead the firm to over $700 million recovered

A trial tactician with a background in complex litigation, J.J. built his reputation where it matters most: in the courtroom. He’s known for turning down lowball offers, forcing trials, and commanding juries in cases involving catastrophic injury, construction site negligence, and wrongful death. His courtroom presence is sharp, aggressive, and always client-centered.

J.J. doesn’t wait for justice—he builds pressure, sets traps, and drives defense teams to the table or to verdict. His ability to control momentum in both negotiations and litigation has led to multiple seven-figure recoveries, including life-changing wins for union workers, undocumented laborers, and families devastated by negligence.

“If they hurt you, we’ll make them pay. And we won’t stop until they do.”

Leadership & Firm Impact:
J.J. has helped transform Shulman & Hill from a boutique practice into a litigation powerhouse—with a growing team of attorneys, multi-borough coverage, and a rising reputation as the go-to firm when real justice is on the line.
