NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - TelAve -- Attorney Steve Hilst has been named partner at the Newport Beach personal injury law firm of Bisnar Chase. Hilst joined the firm in 2016, and has secured multiple seven and eight figure results in product defect, premise liability and personal injury cases.

"I'm proud to stand with this team of attorneys who don't just value success, but also treat people with dignity, respect and compassion," Hilst said. "The reason I came to Bisnar Chase was to work with a team that goes above and beyond to fight for clients' rights, and is not afraid to stand up to large corporations."

Hilst has seen personal injury law from the perspective of plaintiffs as well as large companies. He used to represent corporations such as insurance companies. He saw injured people being deprived of compensation and being denied justice. That is why, he says, working for a personal injury law firm like Bisnar Chase has been so fulfilling, and continues to drive his career with purpose and intention.
