The Law Offices of Matthew C. Hines in Atlanta

The Law Offices of Matthew C. Hines is a bilingual Georgia law firm handling injury, workers’ compensation, and criminal defense cases from its Atlanta office. Most of the people we represent speak Spanish as their first language, and every part of a case, from the first phone call to a courtroom hearing, happens in the language the client is most comfortable in.

For clients who speak Spanish, that in-house approach matters at the moments that count. An insurance recorded statement, a deposition, or a hearing before a judge is not the place to rely on a translation app or a call-center interpreter. The people building your case are the people who speak your language.

Atlanta is the firm’s headquarters, and it anchors a practice built on trial work rather than quick settlements. Three things shape how the firm works:

  • Trial-first representation. Matthew Hines prepares cases as if they are going to trial, which strengthens a client’s position whether the case settles or reaches a verdict. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
  • Fully bilingual service. English and Spanish are handled in-house, not through an outside line or a translation plugin.
  • Broad local coverage. Beyond Atlanta, the firm has offices in Austell, Dalton, Gainesville, Jonesboro, Marietta, and Norcross.

Personal Injury Claims in Atlanta

The firm represents Atlanta clients hurt by someone else’s negligence, from car and truck wrecks to slip-and-fall injuries, dog bites, and serious or catastrophic harm. In Georgia, most injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, so it helps to speak with an attorney early. The firm does not handle medical malpractice cases.

Common injury matters the Atlanta office handles include:

  • Car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, and rideshare collisions
  • Slip-and-fall and other premises liability claims
  • Dog bites
  • Spinal cord, burn, amputation, and traumatic brain injuries
  • Wrongful death

Workers’ Compensation Claims in Atlanta

If you were hurt on the job in the Atlanta area, workers’ compensation may cover your medical treatment and part of your lost wages, no matter who was at fault. The Atlanta office takes all types of work-injury claims.

Georgia gives injured workers a short window to act. You generally must report the injury to your employer within 30 days and file a claim within one year under O.C.G.A. § 34-9-82.

A workers’ compensation case often involves:

  • Reporting the injury and filing the correct forms on time
  • Getting medical care approved and paid for
  • Recovering a portion of lost wages while you cannot work
  • Responding when a claim is denied or benefits are cut off

Learn more on our Georgia workers’ compensation page.

Criminal Defense in Atlanta

The firm defends people facing criminal charges throughout the Atlanta area, and criminal defense is one of its most established areas of work. An arrest does not decide the outcome, and having a trial attorney review the case early can affect what happens next. The firm does not handle record expungements.

Charges the Atlanta office defends include:

  • DUI
  • Drug felonies
  • Assault, including simple assault, aggravated assault, battery, and family violence
  • Sex crimes, handled with discretion and care

You can read more on our Georgia criminal defense page.

Serving Clients Throughout Metro Atlanta

From its Atlanta office, the firm represents clients across the metro area and into north Georgia. Injury and criminal matters in the city are typically heard in the Fulton County State and Superior Courts, while workplace-injury claims move through the Georgia State Board of Workers’ Compensation, and the firm handles cases in each.

The Atlanta office regularly helps clients in:

  • Fulton, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties across metro Atlanta
  • Whitfield County and north Georgia, through the firm’s Dalton office
  • Communities served by the offices in Austell, Gainesville, Jonesboro, Marietta, and Norcross

See every location and service area on our Georgia office locations page.

Why Atlanta Clients Choose the Law Offices of Matthew C. Hines

  • A trial attorney at the head of the firm. Matthew Hines tries cases through to verdict, so insurers and prosecutors know the firm is prepared to go the distance rather than accept a quick, low settlement.
  • Spanish spoken at every step. For the many Atlanta families whose first language is Spanish, the firm offers real representation in Spanish, not a translated form or a call-back from a service.
  • One firm for three kinds of trouble. Injury, workplace, and criminal matters are handled under one roof, so you are not left hunting for a different office if your situation involves more than one.
  • Roots across metro Atlanta. With seven offices and attorneys who appear in local courts, the firm knows the judges, procedures, and pace of the courthouses where Atlanta cases are decided.

What to Expect When You Contact Our Atlanta Office

Reaching out is simple, and the first conversation costs nothing. You tell us what happened, we listen, and we explain the options in plain language. Here is how it usually goes:

  1. Free consultation. You speak with someone about your situation, in English or Spanish, at no cost and with no obligation.
  2. Case review. The firm looks at the facts, the deadlines that apply, and whether it is a matter the office handles.
  3. Representation. If the firm takes your case, it handles the paperwork, the negotiation, and the courtroom work so you can focus on your life.

For injury and workers’ compensation matters, the firm is paid from the recovery, so there is no upfront legal fee to get started.

Atlanta Legal Questions Answered by Our Attorneys

01

Does the Law Offices of Matthew C. Hines have an office in Atlanta?

Yes. Atlanta is the firm’s main office and serves as the base for its work across the metro area. The firm also has six other offices in Austell, Dalton, Gainesville, Jonesboro, Marietta, and Norcross.

02

Can I get help in Spanish at the Atlanta office?

Yes. Most of the firm’s clients speak Spanish, and the Atlanta team handles cases in Spanish from the first call through any court appearance. You are not routed to an outside translation line.

03

What kinds of cases does the Atlanta office handle?

The Atlanta office handles personal injury, workers’ compensation, and criminal defense matters. It does not take medical malpractice cases or record expungements. If you are unsure whether your situation fits, a free consultation is the quickest way to find out.

04

How much does it cost to speak with an attorney?

The first consultation is free. For personal injury and workers’ compensation cases, the firm is paid only from money recovered in the case, so there is no upfront cost. Criminal defense fees depend on the charge and are explained clearly before you decide.

05

How soon should I contact an attorney after an accident or arrest?

Sooner is usually better. Injury claims carry a two-year filing deadline in Georgia, workers’ compensation claims generally must be filed within one year, and criminal cases move on the court’s schedule from the moment of arrest. Talking with an attorney early gives the firm time to gather evidence and protect your options before a deadline closes.

06

What areas around Atlanta does the firm serve?

The firm serves clients throughout metro Atlanta, including Gwinnett, Cobb, and Fulton counties, along with north Georgia through its Dalton office. You can see every location on our Georgia office locations page.

Ready to Talk It Through?

The hardest part is often the first call, especially when you are worried about bills, a court date, or how you will be understood. That call is free, and it comes with no pressure to hire anyone.
