We are excited to continue growing as a firm, and to announce that Abby Hilliard is joining the Sheehy firm. Abby will be working with Maria Peña and Spring Thummel in the Family Law practice.
Abby attended undergrad at Texas A&M before attending Baylor Law School. While in law school, Abby interned for the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office in the Child Protective Services Unit, where she discovered her passion for family law. During law school, Abby received the award for Outstanding Achievement in Family and Juvenile Law, and was honored with the “Boots on the Ground” award for her dedication to the Baylor Law Veterans Clinic. Her passion for serving others was also recognized when she was named a Pro Bono Champion for contributing over 100 hours of volunteer legal work.
Upon becoming a licensed attorney in October 2025, Abby has continued to advocate for clients with compassion and integrity. Abby approaches family law cases with attention to detail, practical guidance, and honest communication. She has prior experience working in high net worth divorces, complex custody cases, and other contested matters.
Outside of the office, Abby enjoys spending time with her husband, their new baby, and their four-legged family members. Abby also enjoys cheering on the Aggies and her favorite Dallas sports teams, as well as attending Texas country music concerts.
