also known as Hines & Associates, PLLC
I was born in Colombia and immigrated to the United States at a very young age. I currently hold dual citizenship. I came to Washington, DC in 2000 on a recess appointment with the Clinton Administration. I worked as Legal Counsel at the International Trade Commission. I had been working in Ann Arbor, Michigan at the time. I went into private practice soon thereafter.
I love what I do. The best part of my job is the interactions I have with people I probably would not otherwise meet. We are living in very difficult times when it comes to immigration. The laws are changing fast and it's nearly impossible for someone whose mother tongue isn't English to understand them. It's my job as an immigration lawyer to know the regulations and ensure you take advantage of everything that is available to you so you can remain in this country.
I have a little boy, whom I adore beyond belief. He's my only child. Everything that I am, everything that I do, is for him. I hope that when he truly understands what I do for a living he will be proud and want to follow in my footsteps.

I am writing this review because I am a review reader and I know how difficult it is to find a good attorney. Attorney Hines came to me via an acquaintance who had used her services when he was placed in removal proceedings. She was so highly recommended that I felt I could not go wrong. I retained h...

This my first time making review. I love my lawyer. One of the things I love about her is she took my calls even when she’s in court during my case. She made me feel like she has everything under control. My case was very complicated and my husband, he passed away in the middle of it. My lawyer kne...

I had been to many lawyers before I came to see Miss Hines. Most took money from me but failed to help me. When I got Miss Hines' name from a friend who had been her client and spoke highly of her, I immediately called her. She gave me all my options upfront and a plan for moving forward. All without...
