About Hillstone Law Accident & Injury Attorneys

Hillstone Law Accident & Injury Attorneys is a Westwood-based firm co-founded by Edwin Essakhar and Yvette Essakhar. They serve as partners with William Percy. All three are active California lawyers: Edwin Essakhar was admitted in 2012, Percy in 2014 and Yvette Essakhar in 2015. Edwin Essakhar earned his J.D. at Pepperdine University School of Law, Yvette Essakhar completed both her undergraduate and law degrees at UCLA, and Percy earned his J.D. at Suffolk University Law School.

The partners' earlier work included matters on the defense side. Edwin Essakhar represented insurance companies in personal injury litigation, while Percy represented corporations in personal injury and consumer cases. Before co-founding Hillstone, Yvette Essakhar handled civil litigation and white-collar criminal defense at The Kaufman Law Group. The firm has 12 lawyers in partner, senior trial attorney, attorney, associate and supervising-attorney roles.

Hillstone's personal injury practice covers collisions involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, trains, bicycles and pedestrians, along with Uber and Lyft crashes. Its listed matters also include aviation and boating accidents, dog bites, burn and brain injuries, other catastrophic injuries, premises liability, slip-and-fall claims and wrongful death.
