Since beginning her career as a legal assistant in 2017, Elivia has provided unwavering support to attorneys in a variety of different practice areas ranging from Family Law and Estate Planning to Personal Injury. She is fiercely dedicated to achieving her goals and uplifting those around her to continue to push toward their own success. It is this drive to accomplish everything that she sets her mind to that allowed Elivia to receive her Paralegal Degree from Wallace State College at the age of eighteen while working in tandem to be at the top of her high school graduating class.
Elivia began her career at the age of fourteen as an Administrative Assistant in the medical field. She attributes much of her success to her parents, who she refers to as “superheroes of their community,” for instilling within her a strong work ethic and passion for helping others. Elivia’s background has allowed her to hone her skills and become a well-rounded Paralegal with a wide range of knowledge of the legal field, as well as the inner workings of the medical field.
Striving each day to be the best version of herself that she can possibly be, she prides herself on being a dedicated, attentive individual who provides compassionate guidance to those affected by the wrongdoings of others. Elivia currently resides in North Central Alabama with her partner and rescue pets, and spends her time outside of the office with the friends and family who make up her support system.

No one expects to find that their parent, grandparent, or spouse has been physically or sexually abused by those entrusted with their care. But in nursing homes across Wisconsin and the nation, these appalling acts occur more frequently than most realize.
At Michael Hill Trial Law, we have seen the heartbreaking consequences of such abuse and stand ready to fight for victims and their families.
When families place their loved ones in a nursing home, they trust that basic needs—food, water, dignity—will be met. But in many facilities across Wisconsin, elderly residents are suffering from a quiet, devastating form of neglect: malnutrition and dehydration.
This isn’t simply about someone skipping a meal. It’s about systemic failures that lead to weight loss, weakness, hospitalization, and even death. At Michael Hill Trial Law, we believe every resident deserves proper care—and we’re committed to holding negligent nursing homes responsible when they fall short.
When a loved one moves into a nursing home, families hope for attentive care, timely help, and dignity. But many facilities are chronically understaffed, creating unsafe conditions where even basic needs go unmet.
This isn’t just a business decision. It’s a form of systemic neglect—and in many cases, it’s avoidable.
When we think of nursing home injuries, we often picture falls, infections, or pressure ulcers. Yet one of the most sudden and fatal threats in long-term care facilities is choking. Elderly residents—especially those with cognitive disorders, neurological issues, or difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)—are highly vulnerable to airway obstruction during meals or medication administration.
