​”I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the superior service provided to me by Dean. Dean, from Dean Hines Co. managed a rather difficult tax liability on my behalf. During the extremely lengthy case, Mr. Hines listened and more importantly, trusted me for more than 3 years. Likewise, Dean earned my trust providing a sense of comfort for myself and my family during the hardship. Lastly, Dean’s keen and creative ability to navigate through the details and intricacies of my case resulted with the intended outcome and victory! Thank you Dean; forever grateful.” ~EO

“Dean has been my attorney for over 20 years, he has represented me on a variety of cases. I have always had a sense of security having him standing next to me. He has always been upfront and honest with me about what to expect and not given any unrealistic expectations. Dean has always gone above and beyond. He has a heart of gold! I have referred many of my own friends and clients to him and have always received many thanks for his help. Thank you Dean for all that you do!” ~KS

“When I needed legal help, Mr. Dean Hines was the first attorney I met with and also the last. After our first meeting I immediately knew he was the person I wanted on my side and I was not wrong. I found Mr. Hines extremely professional, dedicated, and knowledgeable. He worked my case as if he himself were in my position. He looked out for my best interests both personally and financially. I always felt he worked for me and not for my money and I know I received the best possible legal representation for the least possible cost. His straightforward approach and professional demeanor were particularly effective in the courtroom and I could tell he was highly respected by the court staff and the Judge. I cannot overemphasize how pleased I am with the services I received from Mr. Hines and if you choose him as your legal representative you will feel the same way. He is one of the best, if not the best, attorney in the state of Ohio.” ~DB

“We HIGHLY recommend Dean Hines. We’ve had a long-standing relationship with Dean. Due to some poor business management and even poorer financial decisions, we managed to get many, many years behind in IRS payments and faced an insurmountable financial obligation to Goliath. We were referred to Dean and found him to be very knowledgeable and professional, nonjudgmental, but most of all very caring. He served as the wall between us and the IRS. He negotiated on our behalf and was able through Offer in Compromise to settle our IRS obligation at a Fraction of what we would have had to pay through our own efforts. We have found following his advice to be of great help. Dean and Michelle have always been extremely helpful, courteous and timely; and we highly endorse Dean and his staff.” ~ JW

“Dean Hines has worked with me for a number of years. I was in deep IRS debt when he started working with me.I am currently under a payment plan thank I can handle thanks to Dean’s ability to negotiate. In addition to his years of experience in dealing with the IRS, again his negotiating skills, Dean’s big plus for me was his existing relationship with the agents of the IRS. Dean not only has a working relationship with these people, he knows how they think and work. It was a great move hiring Dean to represent me to the IRS.” ~KS

“I was referred to Mr. Hines office by my parents who had worked with him on their business and personal legal needs for many years. I’ve been a client of his for over 15 years. I work with technology and websites and we have a lot of technical legal issues, he’s helped my business on demand anytime he’s needed, sometimes in other states, and he’s been there to sort through plenty of IRS headaches for me along the way while building many businesses over the years. He’s my first call when a legal issue arises and he’s never let me down.” ~MB

“Dean Hines represented me for a custody case in 2014-2015. I was more than a little apprehensive being an out of state father bringing the case to Ohio, but Dean and Michelle went above and beyond to make sure everything was clear and we were on the same page even though we were thousands of miles apart. Every time we had court, Dean made sure that I was up to speed on the proceedings and ready for whatever lay ahead of us. After the first court date, I knew I had made the right decision and was very comfortable with the case in general. It took a year and several sessions in court, but Dean made sure that our case was solid and he helped me get my kids out of a less than ideal situation. Honestly, I feel like Dean saved my kids from an unstable and chaotic future and I would highly recommend his services to anyone in the area that is looking for help, he will fight for you. He will be the first person I call if I ever need representation in Ohio again. Michelle was a huge help as well, she scheduled all of our meetings, assisted when Dean was in court, and she happily answered the myriad of questions I had. Hands down, the most pleasant and professional experience I’ve had to date with the legal system.” ~DS

“I had a large and serious liability to the IRS and sought the help of Dean Hines. I have experience using law firms and I can without reservation recommend the law firm of Dean Hines as efficient, cost-effective and successful. My liability was entitled at less than 10% of the original balance owed. Mr. Hines advised me throughout the process, handled negotiations, and all for a fixed and reasonable fee. In addition his assistant was also very helpful and always available. If you have a tax issue to be handled, Dean Hines is the one to represent me to the IRS.” ~RD

“I can’t say enough to express how important my relationship with Dean Hines as my attorney has meant. I was faced with very serious tax problems which required many years to resolve. Throughout that time Mr. Hines was always available, responsive, and effective. That he was able to resolve the various issues to my satisfaction was key to a positive experience over several years. Whenever we spoke I came away from the conversation with renewed hope and understanding that things would work out. And indeed they did.” ~LC
