Marietta Personal Injury, Workers’ Comp & Criminal Defense Lawyers

A legal problem, whether an injury, a job accident, or a criminal charge, is stressful enough without driving across the metro to find help. Hines Law Firm handle personal injury, workers’ compensation, and criminal defense from our Marietta office, right in the heart of Cobb County. Our Marietta law firm works in English and Spanish and takes cases through trial when that is what it takes.

Marietta is the Cobb County seat, so the courts many of our clients face are here in town, not an hour away. We use that home-field knowledge on every case, from the Marietta Square to the I-75 corridor. It also means shorter drives, faster answers, and a team that knows the local courts and procedures.

Call (678) 310-2800 for a free consultation with a Marietta lawyer. We answer in English and Spanish.

Marietta Personal Injury Lawyers

Our Marietta personal injury lawyers represent people injured by another person’s negligence, from highway crashes on I-75 to falls in local stores. Georgia sets a firm two-year deadline to file most personal injury lawsuits under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, and a Cobb County injury suit is filed right here in Marietta. We take these cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless we recover for you.

The insurance company starts building its side within days of a crash. Getting a lawyer early keeps the pressure off you and preserves the evidence your claim depends on. It also means someone is answering the adjuster’s calls, so a rushed recorded statement does not undercut your case.

We handle Marietta personal injury cases including:

  • Car, truck, and motorcycle collisions
  • Pedestrian and bicycle injuries
  • Slip, trip, and fall claims
  • Dog bites and unsafe property injuries
  • Catastrophic and life-changing injuries
  • Wrongful death claims

Marietta Car and Truck Accidents

Car and truck crashes are the most common injury cases we see in Marietta, and the I-75 and I-575 corridors are frequent trouble spots. After a serious crash, medical bills and lost wages pile up while the at-fault driver’s insurer looks for reasons to pay less. We handle the claim, deal with the adjusters, and pursue the compensation the law allows.

Slip, Fall, and Premises Injuries

When a property owner fails to fix a hazard or warn about it, a fall can cause lasting harm. These cases turn on what the owner knew and whether the danger was one they should have addressed. We gather the evidence that shows how the injury happened and who is responsible for it.

See our personal injury page to learn more about how these cases work.

Marietta Workers’ Comp Lawyers

If you were hurt at work in Marietta or elsewhere in Cobb County, our workers’ comp lawyers help you get medical care and wage benefits. Report a work injury within 30 days and file with the State Board within one year under O.C.G.A. § 34-9-82, or you risk losing benefits. As with our injury cases, there is no fee unless we recover benefits for you.

Cobb County’s aerospace plants, hospitals, warehouses, and construction sites produce serious injuries every week. The setting changes, but your right to benefits does not, and we handle the claim from the first filing to a hearing before the State Board. If a claim is denied or benefits stop, we take it to a hearing rather than accept the insurer’s word.

Common Marietta workers’ compensation matters include:

  • Warehouse, construction, and forklift injuries
  • Back, neck, and repetitive stress injuries
  • Denied, suspended, or delayed claims
  • Occupational illness and toxic exposure claims
  • Catastrophic on-the-job injuries

How to Protect a Marietta Workers’ Comp Claim

Two steps protect most work injury claims: report the injury to your employer quickly, and get authorized medical care. Keep copies of what you reported and when, and follow your treatment plan. Missing the 30-day report window or the one-year filing deadline is the fastest way to lose benefits you would otherwise receive.

What to Do If Your Claim Is Denied

A denial is not the end of a workers’ comp claim. You can challenge it by asking for a hearing before the State Board, where a judge weighs the evidence rather than the insurer’s word. Many denied Marietta claims are approved or settled once the case is prepared and presented properly.

Learn more on our workers’ compensation page.

Marietta Criminal Defense Lawyers

A criminal charge in Cobb County is serious, and where you are charged matters: these cases are heard at the Cobb County courts here in Marietta. Our Marietta criminal defense lawyers defend people accused of misdemeanors and felonies, and the first consultation is free. Criminal cases are billed on a defense-fee basis, not contingency.

The early days of a case often decide its direction. We examine how the stop, search, or arrest was handled, what the state can actually prove, and the path that gives you the best position. Whether the goal is a dismissal, a reduction, or the strongest defense at trial, we build toward it from day one.

We defend Marietta clients against charges including:

  • DUI and serious traffic offenses
  • Drug possession and drug felony charges
  • Assault, battery, and family violence charges
  • Sex crime charges
  • Bond hearings and probation matters

DUI and Drug Charges in Cobb County

DUI and drug charges are among the most common cases we handle out of Cobb County, and both carry consequences that reach beyond court, from your license to your job. The defense often starts with how the stop and any testing were handled. We look hard at that first, because it can shape everything that follows.

The First Days After an Arrest

What happens in the first days after an arrest can affect bond, the charges, and your defense. Avoid discussing the case with anyone but your lawyer, and do not assume the police account is the whole story. The sooner we are involved, the more we can do to protect your position.

Marietta Legal Questions, Answered by Our Attorneys

01

Do you have Spanish-speaking attorneys and staff in Marietta?

Yes. We run cases in English and Spanish from start to finish, including consultations, paperwork, and court. Many Cobb County families prefer to handle serious legal matters in Spanish, and we make that seamless.

02

What kinds of cases does the Marietta office take?

The Marietta office handles personal injury, workers’ compensation, and criminal defense, including car accidents, on-the-job injuries, and misdemeanor and felony charges. We do not take medical malpractice cases.

03

Will my Marietta case be heard in Cobb County?

Usually, yes. Personal injury lawsuits and criminal charges out of Marietta are generally handled in the Cobb County courts here in town. Workers’ compensation claims go before the State Board of Workers’ Compensation instead.

04

What does it cost to hire a Marietta lawyer?

The consultation is free. Personal injury and workers’ comp cases run on contingency, meaning you pay a fee only if we recover for you. Criminal defense fees are set after we review your case.

05

How soon should I call after an accident or arrest?

As soon as you can. Injury deadlines, workers’ comp reporting windows, and criminal timelines all move quickly, and early evidence fades. A free call early on protects your options later.

06

Can I start my case without coming into the office?

Yes. Many clients begin by phone or online, and we gather much of what we need remotely. When an in-person meeting helps, our Marietta office is easy to reach in the center of Cobb County.

07

What should I do right after a car accident in Marietta?

If you can do so safely, call 911, get medical attention, and photograph the scene, the vehicles, and any injuries. Exchange information, but avoid giving the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement until you have spoken with a lawyer. Prompt medical care and clear records protect both your health and your claim.

08

Do I need a lawyer for a minor injury or a first-time charge?

It depends, and a free consultation is the best way to find out. For a small, fully paid claim or a very minor matter, you may not need a lawyer, and we will tell you that honestly. For anything involving serious injury, denied benefits, or a criminal record, having a lawyer early usually makes a real difference.

09

How is the Marietta office different from a large ad-driven firm?

You work with a team that actually handles Cobb County cases, not a call center that signs you up and passes you along. Matthew Hines tries cases himself, and our size means you can reach a person who knows your file. That combination is hard to find at a high-volume operation.
