Michael Brainard Hines

if you get into a situation in which you really need a good attorney to fight for you, definitly call Galigani Law Firm. I hired Michael Hines over the phone as i was located in different area of the state for 3 charges ( including dui which would have been my 3rd) in which i was facing serious jail ...time in Levy county. He explained everything he would do for me including at least having two of the charges dropped and he did more, he had ALL of my charges dropped. I very highly recommend Michael Hines and Galigani Law Firm

I had Mike work with me on an injunction recently with my soon to be ex-wife. He helped me get the injunction dismissed and left the other lawyer grasping for words. He is responsive, thorough and thoughtful about your case. I don't know how his rates compare to others but he was worth every penny I ...paid. I highly recommend him for any criminal issues.

Mr. Hines is one of the most knowledgable, reasonable lawyers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He goes out of his way to answer clients as promptly as possible, and has helped me achieve incredible results, given that my cases were very intricate in nature. Given his years of experience, and ...his knowledge of the law in such profound detail, I HIGHLY recommend Micheal Hines as an attorney because of his All-in-one expertise and advice, and will be utilizing his services for all my future legal needs.

Getting arrested is terrifying. I had never gotten into any legal trouble previously, so I asked a lot of questions. Mr. Hines was understanding, helpful, and extremely informative. He took the time to explain to me, step by step, what legal terms meant, what their implications were, and what all t...he possibilities of my situation were. He also took a great deal of time to listen to me tell the whole story and listen to my concerns. He was fantastic with communication. Every time I called, he either answered or called back within minutes. Every email was responded to almost immediately with thoughtful answers. He was always available when I dropped by the office, and became someone who I was glad I had on my team. I also appreciated that he wasn't overconfident and overly optimistic; he was realistic. Under a bizarre set of circumstances, I was facing felony charges, and he explained that we could probably knock those down to a misdemeanor, but that it was extremely possible to be convicted of the misdemeanor, based on my case, evidence, and what had been told to law enforcement. It was nice to know what I was up against. Mr. Hines went above and beyond, getting to know me as a person, advising me to do things voluntarily like seek counseling, to show that I personally was taking an initiative to better myself, and even wrote a letter to a prospective employer explaining the situation while the case was still pending. He also gave constructive advice, explaining what I did wrong in speaking with the police. The charges ended up being dropped, thanks to Mr. Hines, and he proceeded to handle my expungement at no extra charge. Working with him was a breeze, and made a stressful situation much, much easier.
