About Jason
Jason Hine is an attorney practicing in Missouri and admitted to appear in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. He entered the legal profession after completing law school and has spent his career at a single firm where he built courtroom experience and client relationships.
He earned his Juris Doctor from Saint Louis University School of Law in 2014. His time in law school included the standard mix of doctrinal courses, clinic work and moot court, and it set the foundation for his early work as a trial lawyer. Classmates and professors recall a practical approach to problems and an interest in litigation work.
Shortly after graduating, Hine joined Miller & Hine. He began there in 2014 as a lawyer and has remained on the firm’s roster since. The firm has served as the base for most of his professional development. He has handled matters in state and federal forums and has taken cases to brief and argument stages before appellate panels when the facts required it.
Hine is admitted in Missouri and has the permission needed to present cases in the Eighth Circuit. That combination shapes the types of matters that come his way. He is familiar with local court procedures and the expectations of both trial judges and appellate judges in the region. Over time he has become conversant in the tactical choices that influence case outcomes at different stages.
He maintains current professional memberships and participates in the bar culture that surrounds litigation practice. Those memberships have kept him connected to continuing legal education and peer review. Colleagues say he values clear legal analysis and practical preparation rather than theatrical courtroom flourishes.
Clients and peers describe Hine as a steady presence at Miller & Hine. He manages filings, motions and oral argument preparation with an eye toward the calendar and the next decision point in a case. Outside the courtroom he spends time reviewing recent appellate decisions to anticipate how changes in precedent might affect ongoing matters.
He remains based at Miller & Hine and continues to represent clients in Missouri state courts and in cases that reach the Eighth Circuit. His current practice includes representing clients in litigation at both the trial and appellate levels.
