Grateful for his time and service to the legal community.Posted on Clay WoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr.Hines is by far the best attorney in Saint John’s County! He is honest, kind, caring and compassionate BUT most importantly professional and greatly respected! As a former LEO aka police officer, and a Prosecutor, He knows his way around court system quite well! Not only is he knowledgable, he cares deeply about his clients and will go the extra mile to get the best outcome possible for them. He gave me the best Christmas gift I could have possibly asked for by a tactical well calculated legal maneuvering which impressed me greatly, and as a professional negotiator not too many things do! I could go on & on about him and his amazing office staff but let me tell you one thing: If you need the best legal counsel and advocacy in Saint John’s County, there is only one attorney I would call!!! I promise you that he will have your back! Good Luck my friend, but if you have Mr.Hines representing You, you will not need it!Posted on Ania BronzinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Michael Hines last minute not realizing I need a lawyer for my daughter. It was the best decision I ever made. Michael, not only having the best bed side manner, was beyond prepared for this case that the other lawyer didn't even question my daughter n the stand. Michael made sure everything was ignorer and had every little detail ins file just in case. The case was dismissed and I can't tell you how thrilled we are. I hope I never need a lawyer again but if we do Michael Hines is the man to hire. We are so happy with the outcome and his due diligence.Posted on drorit silvermanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Fast and professional service, Michael and Camden were a pure please to have worked for me. No delays, thank you againPosted on Sal CucuzzaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Real Estate Partner and I came to his office to be treated rudely along with his team. We were simply popping by to drop off gourmet treats and leave our business cards because I, as a Mortgage Specialist and my Partner a Real Estate Agent work with various attorneys to help their clients and get their info for my own divorce filing.. to be rudely yelled at from Michael Hines in front of his staff and the clients in Lobby to "get out" yelling at us. Very unprofessional and in my 25 plus years of business never seen such behavior. I would NEVER use or refer this man to ANY of my clients. Word of mouth is very powerful.Posted on Rhiannon AlleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Run in the other direction. Especially of you're a woman. He basically took $2500 of my money and did nothing but file for divorce for me. Nothing else. Would not answer calls, no answered emails. He went on vacation and did not inform me he would not be available and did not allow anyone in his office to tell me. When I decided he was not the lawyer for me in that 2 weeks, he kept half of my retainer $2500 and when I asked that he return it because he ghosted me the whole time and did nothing bit $400 in filing after he took my $5000. He told me I was SOL. He touts what a good Christian he is... well.. if you say so Mike..Posted on Bei Capelli Hair Studio
