DO NOT USE

By far the most expensive and worst lawyer I could of hired in north tx. 6 months into a dwi case he didn't even know my name. Nothing good. I spent 3500 with Jeffrey. And didn't receive any help that I couldn't of carried out myself

No attorney can guarantee a particular outcome for any case, despite what the public perception is of the legal system. I am sorry to hear you were not satisfied with the outcome of your matter. Please call me at 940.257.6440 to discuss your review.

Jeff Hines help

Jeff was assigned to takeover my case after my original attorney passed away. Thus he had to try to understand a very complex situation that was over 5 years. His diligent effort and strategy proved to be successful i being able to negotiate a very good settlement. I would recommend Jeff to anyone t...hat is looking for a hard working smart attorney.

Knowledgable,Thorough and Professional

Jeff represents our association and has handled a number legal issues and defended the interests of the association well. He is well versed in property law and is thorough in his review of the applicable statues. Jeff is a good litigator and presented our case before the court well and professionally....

Exceptional

Mr. Hines has seen me through a very long and arduous civil suit against a former business colleague. For over a year and a half, Mr. Hines has been incredibly helpful, informative and has guided me through every turn of my case with unparalleled professionalism and expertise. I would, and have, re...commended him to anyone seeking legal help in a business dispute. When choosing an attorney there is no way of actually knowing how they will handle themselves when the plan meets opposition, I was lucky enough to find Mr. Hines and have absolutely no regrets.

Details make the difference

Jeffrey proceeded to take all of the details/facts to form a defense that when presented to the DA they simply dropped the case. He is the real Perry Mason!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
