About Jeffrey Alan
Jeffrey Alan Hines built a legal life that moves between trial dockets and appellate briefs. He studied economics and political science at Austin College, earning his B.A. in 1976. He then attended the University of Houston Law Center and received his J.D. in 1979. Those years set the foundation for a long-running practice in Texas and beyond.
His early professional record includes a stint as an associate at Hayes, Berry, White & Vanzant, L.L.P., where he served in 2012. The record shows a mix of courtroom exposure and appellate filings over the decades that followed. He later established an office under the name Jeffrey A. Hines, Lawyer at Law, and has maintained a private practice since that time.
Hines is admitted to practice in Texas and holds authorization to appear before several federal courts, including the Fifth Circuit and the Eleventh Circuit. He is also admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. Those admissions reflect a practice that spans trial-level representation and appellate advocacy.
Professional memberships have been a steady part of his career. He has been a member of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association since 2008. That association ties him to a network of criminal defense practitioners across the state. Records also list other professional memberships, current as of recent listings.
Colleagues and court records show that Hines has handled criminal matters as well as appeals. His courtroom work runs from local trials to filings in federal appellate courts. He prepares briefs, argues motions and manages case strategy. His appellate appearances require attention to procedural rules and an ability to frame legal issues for higher courts.
Clients who come through his office encounter a lawyer who has practiced under his own name and who has experience in both trial and appellate settings. He works out of his private office and manages a caseload that includes criminal defense and appellate matters. He remains active in professional circles and keeps his practice engaged with developments in criminal law and appellate procedure.
