His practice also includes preparing wills, living wills, and powers of attorney. Hines serves clients throughout north-central Connecticut, including Enfield, Rockville, and Manchester, and provides practical guidance focused on each client’s circumstances, rights, and legal objectives.

Hines earned his J.D. from Western New England College in 1983 after receiving a B.A. from Ithaca College in 1975. He was admitted to practice in Connecticut in 1984. His legal education and early courtroom experience provided a foundation in legal analysis, case preparation, and client advocacy.

Before opening his firm in 1996, Hines spent ten years with the Connecticut Public Defender’s Office in Enfield and served as its supervisor for six years. This experience gave him substantial knowledge of criminal defense and courtroom procedure. He now handles criminal and motor vehicle charges, including operating under the influence cases, and advises eligible clients about Connecticut diversionary programs that may help them avoid a conviction or permanent criminal record.

Charles D. Hines has defended people accused of crimes in Connecticut for more than 30 years. His approach emphasizes listening carefully, preparing thoroughly, staying current with changes in the law, and respecting the client’s decisions.
