Family Law
Family law issues can be challenging for anyone dealing with domestic violence, divorce, separation, child custody or child support issues. Having a knowledgeable but empathetic and understanding attorney will help to ease the uncertainty of the legal process while going through a personal family legal crisis. Ms. Hines handles family law matters in Washington, DC and in most counties in Maryland.

Administrative Hearings
Many legal issues are not handled in court but in an administrative hearing before an administrative law judge in Maryland and the District of Columbia. However, they are often as serious as ones occurring in local or federal courts. Many administrative hearings involve forfeiture of professional or business license and one’s livelihood, animal cruelty laws or alcohol beverage license issues, to name a few. Facing the potential loss of a professional or business license with the attendant loss of income or the confiscation of a beloved pet can be as stressful as if one’s liberty were at stake. Having a competent attorney by your side is an asset. These administrative hearing matters require swift actions to preserve one’s rights. Be careful to avoid delay when contacting an attorney.
