About Ray
Ray Hindieh studied history as an undergraduate and finished law school in the same city that shaped much of his early career. He earned a B.A. in History from Hofstra University in 2008 and a J.D. from Tulane University School of Law in 2011. The sequence of degrees set a straightforward path into courtroom work and public service.
He began his legal career in the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office in 2011. There, he worked on the prosecution side of criminal cases. The job offered a steady stream of courtroom experience. It also revealed the procedural and tactical contours of criminal practice from the government’s perspective.
In 2014 he moved into private practice as a partner at Puente & Hindieh, PLLC. That period marked a shift from government work to representing individuals and businesses. He handled cases across state courts and appeared in matters that required federal admission. The partnership role involved case management, client counseling, and trial preparation.
Ray launched his own firm, Hindieh Law, PLLC, in 2021. Founding his own practice allowed him to shape the firm's docket and client service. He remains admitted to practice in Texas and before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Those credentials support work in both state and federal matters.
Professional associations have remained part of his professional life. He belongs to the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers and the Tulane Young Lawyers Society. He is also a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. These memberships connect him to peers and resources that inform courtroom strategy and procedural developments.
Throughout his career he has worked on both sides of criminal cases — as a prosecutor and then as defense counsel. That perspective informs how he evaluates evidence, negotiates pleas, and approaches trial. He takes on pretrial litigation, hearings and courtroom advocacy as part of representing clients who face criminal charges.
Outside the courtroom, he draws on his history background when preparing cases. He applies contextual analysis to evidence and witness accounts. That analytic habit ties back to his undergraduate training and persists in his litigation work.
He maintains an active practice through Hindieh Law, PLLC, where he represents clients in criminal matters at both the state and federal level, handling trial work, pretrial litigation, and client counseling.
