Adrienne Marie Hines

Adrienne, with nearly 30 years of experience fighting for the rights of injured workers and those faced with bankruptcy, is a voracious problem solver who knows exactly how to get the best possible outcome for each person she represents.

Workers’ compensation and bankruptcy law aren’t flashy. They’re not table-pounding, courtroom shouting, TV-worthy cases. But they are some of the most necessary areas of law with the potential to change lives.

And that’s exactly what draws Adrienne to the field.

She knows that when clients are navigating the most difficult times in their lives, they need more than a lawyer. They need compassion and decisiveness. Empathy and experience. Space for vulnerability and clear legal direction that will help them focus on the task at hand. Adrienne is able to merge it all.

But while it’s her empathetic nature that puts clients at ease, it’s her decades of experience and track record of success that win their trust. When obstacles arise, Adrienne never falters. While others dwell over disrupted plans, she’s already found a new solution.

And it’s not just her clients that take note. Her commitment to the people she serves and her growth in the field is recognized across the country. In 2019, Adrienne was one of only two attorneys in the state admitted into The College of Workers’ Compensation Lawyers, and for the last decade, she has maintained a Specialist Certification in Workers’ Compensation through the Ohio State Bar Association.

But for Adrienne, there’s one more important measure of success: When her clients walk away at the end of a case relieved, grateful, and in a better place than when they arrived, she knows she’s accomplished something wonderful.

As an attorney, the characteristics she most values and works to embody are those of compassion and communication. Hines provides a listening ear to each client who comes to her for help so that she understands what the client wants from the process and can work to help the client meet his or her goals.

Outside of work, Hines is a wife and the mother of teenage twins. She constantly strives to make family life a priority. She is also an amateur photographer, avid boater, and animal lover. She often can be seen in her office accompanied by one of her dogs.

Hines also values public service and is a leader in her community. She serves as a board member for the Ottawa County Board of Elections. In that role, she helps ensure that local elections are conducted fairly and accurately, and that voters’ rights are protected.
