    Michael was great to work with. This case has been going on for years and transferred several times which has required me to change attorneys several times. Michael was the first attorney that made me feel at ease and that he really cared about my case. With all the difficulties and stress with going to court and dealing with something as personal as custody of a child it was really a relief to have an attorney as competent and caring as Michael. I would recommend him to anyone.

    I've had Mr. Hines as my attorney the last 19 months and in that time he's represented me on various cases involving family law. He keeps me informed on the 3 cases that are opened. I've been in the courtroom with Mr. Hines and he really knows his way around one which puts me at ease during a very trying time. He has a excellent staff working for him and they've been very helpful when I needed anything.

    Michael Hines is an excellent attorney who consistently impressed me with his knowledge of the law, experience in working within the local court system (which is very important) and his attentiveness to my case. As a fellow attorney, I immediately knew that hiring Michael was the right choice to guide me through a very difficult period. I would not hesitate to hire him again or to recommend him to anyone who is dealing with family or criminal law issues.

    Michael handled my Divorce in 2006/7 - from the beginning, he and his staff were able to listen carefully to my requirements, were open and available for discussion throughout the case, were very knowledgeable concerning different options and provided excellent feedback throughout the divorce. Michael knew how the court system worked, knew personally the judges and opposing counsel, and was able to reach an agreeable situation that was satisfactory to myself and opposing counsel. I have used Michael twice before in other cases outside the divorce, and he has always provided excellent service.

    Michael's experience and insight were a step beyond his peers. His responsiveness to requests for contact were timely and helpful. His staff's professionalism and skill reflect Michaels standards. I would and have recommended him to others.

    Michael is a great attorney up to date on current laws. Michael has defended me against a "Rambo style" attorney and an ex who has used five other attorneys. He manages his time well. Knows his way around the court and is a pit bull in any depo or confrontation. He is an honest, hardworking, well respected family man and attorney. His staff is a dream and communication is excellent. I would not have placed my child's custody in anyone else's hands.

    Michael did an excellent job with my case. With out getting into the specifics, he was able to get the judgement I wanted. He and his staff were always friendly and communicated frequently and kept me up to date. I hired him approximately three months ago. I have no reservations recommending him to everyone I know.

    Could not have had a better experience. I called this attorney after hours on a Friday and he called right back - we met that Monday and had all my matters taken care of within a week. His experience speaks for itself - a former police officer and state prosecutor - he sees the BIG PICTURE - and he explains that picture to you. You won't find a better lawyer but more importantly a better person to help you with your legal needs, I was fortunate to have worked with Michael Hines!
