Mr. Hineman helped me sort some things out on a weekend which he doesn’t usually does. My case is still going and he’s helped me.

Mr. Hineman is the best attorney. He represented a relative a few years back in a federal case and did a great job! This year he represented me in a case as well and I could not be happier with the outcome in my case! He will not let you down! Highly recommended!

Did not work much on my case and lacks proper communication. Seemed professional at first, but then started noticing multiple errors throughout the process. Not detail oriented.

Mr. Hineman represented my family in my Fiance's custodial relocation case. He was well-prepared and a force in the courtroom that the opposing counsel was not ready to contend with. He and his office staff were pleasant and welcoming in preparing each of us to participate in the trial, but he was a seasoned litigator in the courtroom that kept the opposition against the ropes and aggressively attacked their case. We will continue to use Mr. Hineman for our legal needs.

I was a part of one of Mr. Hineman's cases dealing with a friend's child relocation. He prepared me for my testimony very well and used me to forcefully defend my friend. Mr. Hineman is aggressive and well prepared in all aspects. His staff is friendly and very welcoming. I would feel confident using him in any legal actions I could have in the future.

Mr. Hineman represented my son in his response to a petition to relocate my grandson out of the state. I was anxious to be a part of the trial, but Mr. Hineman was kind and guided me through my role as a witness and his hard work meant that I get to see me grandson as much or more than I did before. I would recommend Mr. Hineman again because he fought for my son and grandson as if they were his own family.

Mr. Hineman represented me in my response to a petition for relocation. My experience was very positive and I found him and his associates to be well-prepared and knowledgeable in helping me to be successful in keeping my family here in Arizona. He aggressively, but tactfully, fought for my voice to be heard in court and he went the extra mile in understanding the nuances of my case in order to ensure that we could come to the best possible solution in my custody hearing.

Phil Hineman is a fighter! He will have your back, and speak up for you in court. He is very well versed and will hold opposing counsels accountable at every avenue of approach. Mr. Hineman is confident and passionate when it comes to your defense. I went through a very long and grueling divorce. This divorce to many looked simple. I knew it wasn’t going to be. Other attorneys turned their back to me saying I didn’t need them. Phil Hineman though through his experience knew what I was dealing with a very vindictive, bitter, and unreasonable individual. Mr. Hineman dealt tremendously well with my divorce. I was very pleased with the outcome. Could not have gone better. Phil Hineman’s staff is on point, and very professional. I thank them for all for their time. I enthusiastically recommend Phil Hineman to anyone.

Mr. Hineman did an excellent job on my case. My goal was to keep custody of my children, set up visitation and get some help from their father to support them. The opposing party was very difficult to deal with and after being served with court paperwork he tried getting my children removed from my home by CPS as a "defense strategy".
Mr. Hineman went above and beyond, I am more than satisfied with the results. The entire staff was very professional and very prompt in responding to any questions or concerns I had. Mr. Hineman and his staff have been there every step of the way. I am sincerely thankful for this law firm. Everyone in the office is kind and understanding. I definitely recommend this office!

Mr. Hineman is a true professional. My son needed to hire him for some legal matters and Mr. Hineman listened to my son, prepared my son to go to court, and on the day in question he was superbly prepared and attacked the opposing party in a legal professional manner. If the need ever arises again, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Mr. Phil Hineman as my legal advisor.

Mr. Hineman, is an attorney who takes his/her clients needs seriously. He listens and evaluates to the wants of the clients and when it comes down to game day. He is ready to strike like a true professional. I am very satisfied with everything Mr. Hineman has done for me and my family. I would definitely recommend him for all of your legal troubles.

I have had the pleasure of using Mr. Hineman for both Bankruptcy and Divorce. In both cases his knowledge and expertise were above reproach. Mr.Hineman and his staff leave no stone unturned very thorough, concise and precise through out the whole process. Mr. Hineman will go above and beyond to ensure your desires of you case of choosing are met with realistic advise and realistic expectations. I havwe been more than satisfied with Mr. Hinemans services in both my cases and would give him my highest recommendation to anyone. Through the services provided Mr.Hineman has made a lasting impact on my life and my future.

Mr. Hienman is the most understanding lawyer I have ever met. I prayed for Mr. Hienman to call me without even knowing him or meeting him. God granted my prayer and I now have full custody of my daughter. He's a pit bull. I can't thank him enough for getting my baby girl back home with her mommy. God answered my daughter's and my prayers. If you want a Fantastic lawyer, Mr. Hienman is your man. Cyra, thanks for your help and always being so sweet.

He didn’t show up to court, which completely embarrassed me because I had no idea what I was doing and the judge even called him out saying this was the second time he has done this.

He pushed back a court date and requested to change judges without our consent which we were not okay with we were ready to get this over with.

He submitted documents that had false information on them about the defendant because he didn’t our input into consideration.

He had missed a meeting where I had to take off of work to attend with no apology.

The most unprofessional incompetent professional, if you can even call him that, I have ever worked with.

By the way, to my understanding he doesn’t even live in Yuma! He lives several hours away!

I acquired Phil Hinemans services to fight for full custody of my two boys who lived in Arizona. He represented me, as I lived in Michigan. There were a few times I was skeptic of being able to win and he repeatedly assured me that its what must be done and we could win. A month ago we won 100% sole legal custody. This man is amazing and I will forever be grateful to him. I never once had to leave Michigan. Now I, as a single FATHER, finally have my boys and can give them the life they deserve which is priceless. Worth every penny!

Phil Hineman didn’t do anything for me in my bankruptcy case. It was very hard to communicate with him and he didn’t try anything to help me with the trustee. I turned in paperwork and documents to help my case which he never even looked over. He even came off a bit prejudice towards Hispanics at times. I wouldn’t even recommend this attorney to my enemies, let alone friends and family. My all and out experience was a nightmare.

It was seven years ago when I first hired Mr. Hineman to represent me on a custody matter. Mr. Hineman was aggressive yet professional in court. He prepared me well and we won our case at that time. I was extremely happy with the results - hence the five stars from years ago.

2018 - 2019: Once again I had to hire Mr. Hineman to represent me on this ongoing legal battle and I'll say the same as I've said before: Mr. Hineman continues to fight an excellent fight for me! He is very knowledgeable and he's aggressive in the courtroom. He is straight forward - tells you how it is; no sugar coating here.. He will tell you what is important to fight for and what direction to take. I know I am in good hands as he continues to fight my case.

After enduring an extremely controlling and mentally abusive relationship for 11yrs, I couldn't even muster up a voice for myself. I felt like a failure and didn't have a clue of where to begin to pick up the shattered pieces of what remained of my life and my children's lives. Mr. Hineman's office was the first office I walked into when I decided to seek counsel, and I did not have to look any further. I knew I had found a diligent, professional team to represent me in my up coming divorce/custody battle.

I was in a constant battle with myself because I was still allowing my ex to manipulate my thoughts. Mr. Hineman helped me realize this and genuinely guided me towards the path I needed to take in order to begin a successful life and career for myself and my six children. Without his guidance, I would have never enrolled into counseling (which helped me heal tremendously, and helped build my self-confidence). Nor would I have believed I could still pursue a college degree at my age.

Not only did Mr. Hineman represent me at the most vulnerable time in my life, he advised me on what I was entitled to and answered every question I had with no hesitation. He was very respectful and courteous to me, as his client; but as soon as he was presenting my case in court, he was extremely aggressive and professional. Even in an intimidating court room, Mr Hineman was never, even once, apprehensive for any reason. He was very organized for all of the dozens of hearings I endured throughout this lengthy three year process, and paid particular attention to every minute detail.

Without Mr Hineman's dedication and expertise, I would not have had such a successful outcome with my divorce/custody battle; I would have allowed my ex to take control of this situation as well. There are not enough words to express the amount of appreciation and gratitude I have for Mr Hineman and his amazing team, for helping me get my life back. Thank you so much to you all!!

My journey begins a few years back, a divorce and custody case that was overwhelming legally and was a complete mess .My first attorney flat out quit my case when things got tough. My second attorney asked to withdraw from the case. I found Mr. Hineman in 2016 ,after thousands dollars spent and much time wasted in attorneys that were not willing to go all the way. In my first consultation with Mr. Hineman I knew he was the perfect attorney that was fit to achieve the best possible outcome in a nasty custody case and to finalize the divorce where my prior other two attorneys failed. He has the experience, the skill, the determination, the passion and a strong work ethic. Mr.Hineman is a strong force to be dealt with in the courtroom and did it in such a fashion were it was calm but hard-hitting. Mr.Hineman took my case from day one and organized the mess It had become, and made it move along as fast as possible in a timely fashion and accomplished in months the best outcome possible. In my child custody case and divorce . My divorce was finalized and I was granted sole legal custody of our children. An astronomically huge win !! Not only did he win the case but Changed the future of my children for the best and myself. THANK YOU enormously, Mr.Hineman for your relentless efforts and passion for my case and to see it through to the end. When it comes to such life-changing delicate important matters like child custody and divorce. Mr. Heineman is the only attorney I would trust . Also his staff is diligent and very caring.

Mr. Hineman helped my daughter in an very tough case where the opposing party was extremely difficult to deal with. Two prior attorneys she had actually flat out quit the case due to the headaches the opposing party was giving. One of the quitting attorneys is a long time prominent attorney in town. For over 2 decades I have worked in a field where I have regular interactions with attorneys. I have witnessed Mr. Hineman's personal interaction with his clients, witnesses, the judge and the opposing party. He stands out as one of the few premier lawyers in town. Intelligence, knowledgeable, savvy are just some of his positive traits. When needed he can be firm and is not intimidated by anyone. His goal is this case was to get the best outcome for my daughter which certainly was achieved.

Having to get an attorney to take care of family matters is very difficult. Phil is a compassionate experienced hard working attorney that can think outside of the box and make you feel comfortable with a very difficult situation. He knows how to get the job done with positive results. His professionalism is reflected by the experience and competency of his staff. I would recommend Phil Hineman law office for anyone needing help with family matters.

Mr. Hineman helped me and my wife through a bankruptcy, we were very nervous in the beginning and it took a long time for us to even consider the option however Mr. Hineman quickly set us at ease and helped us though the entire process I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

Mr. Hineman and his staff were very professional but also warm and friendly. I was made comfortable during a very trying financial situation by their clear and timely communications. I was able to ask questions and discuss my situation.
When I was looking for help I found most of the other offices to be bit of a “Cattle Call”. Not here....
I would recommend Mr. Hineman, without reservation to anyone in need of the services he offers.

I am from CA and was in a traffic accident while in Yuma on business. More than a year later I received a DUI charge in the mail from the state of AZ. They waited 364 days to file a charge and then mailed it to me a month later expecting me to jump through hoops for them since I am out of state. After calling several lawyers in the area I found Phil and hired him immediately. He has fought diligently for me to preserve my rights and has done everything possible to mitigate the adverse effects something like this would have on my life. His vast knowledge of the state’s laws which are the strictest in the nation, as well as his years of experience working both as a prosecutor and defense attorney makes him bar none the best choice in the area. I am grateful to have found Phil in this difficult time and would strongly endorse him and recommend his office for others who are in similar situations. Nobody wants to call a lawyer, but if you have to you’d have a hard time finding someone more committed and competent than Phil Hineman

If you look up the definition of SHYSTER LAWYER in the dictionary, you will find a photo of this clueless clown. After talking for 5 minutes on the phone, he immediately went for the jugular, the MONEY! Then he proceeded to do nothing, less than nothing actually. He berated me on the phone, and totally disrespected me. I did better representing myself than paying this loser to blow hot air. In the court room, the judge asked him questions, and this clown got on his cell phone to look for the answers. The judge looked at him like "what a buffoon". Plus he interrupted the judge until the judge told him to shut up. The opposing attorney de-nutted him by saying "You must have been absent the day they taught long-arm jurisdiction at law school". All he did was look down at his shoes, like they were untied. ABSOLUTE WORST lawyer I've even had the displeasure of paying money to. STAY AWAY!

My wife and I sought out Mr. Hineman to help us out of severe credit card debt! Our initial consultation was free where he spelled out what he could do for us. He was able to immediately stop all calls from creditors and facilitated a payment plan to submit to the bankruptcy court. We are awaiting our 341 meeting with creditors at which time we are hoping for a speedy resolution by the court. Mr. Hineman has been there all the way and responds promptly to any and all questions. I love the ease of submitting documents and ability to talk to him when needed. I highly recommend Mr. Hineman to anyone that is looking for a PROFESSIONAL to handle any problem you might have with the law. He has helped me get back my self-worth as my pride of having to file bankruptcy was severely bruised. Give him a call. Louis

Recently my mom needed council for her divorce, and though the process dragged on, it was all a result of my step-father's attorney being out of compliance and untimely. Mr. Hineman was frank, honest, and always on point. Both Jesus and Mr. Hineman treated my mom with respect and worked to make sure she was well apprised of the progress of her case. I am thankful for Mr. Hineman's tenacity and diligence, which resulted in a very beneficial outcome for my mom.

I'm pleased with the results we got from court. I will strongly recommend his service as I have already done to some of my friends and co-worker that need the service of an attorney. Jesus, paralegal, was of great help and provided excellent service every time I need help or had any questions.

We obtained council with Mr. Hineman and from the beginning both Phil and his Paralegal Jesus were amazing. They were so helpful with all the procedures and informative on the things that were taking place. They were efficient and understanding and I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Phil Hineman.

Over the last six months in working with Mr Hineman and team i can say they are top notch. The services they have provided have been clear, concise, and very efficient in helping me with my current matters with the state. I was fortunate enough to be able to meet these fine gentleman and have them on my side, because without them i would not have been able to endure these trials and tribulations. Again if anyone is unsure as to whether to decide to have this man in your corner please understand it will be a great investment to keep him by your side, Thank You Mr Hineman

Phil Hineman and his team are amazing and handled my family matter above and beyond my expectations. My children mean the world to me and issues with child custody shouldn't be treated casually. Phil helped me navigate through a very difficult time in my life. He was sensitive, knowledgeable, and kept me aware of everything that was going on throughout the entire frightening process. I felt like I had his full support. Being a single mother of two wonderful children Phil was also generous enough to help us out by making reasonable payment plans. Thank you Phil! My little family would have been lost without you.

Dealing with Mr. Hineman has been the absolutely worst experience in my life! I met with him once for him to blow a whole lot of hot air and tell me how I would be taken care of. After paying his retainer I didn't deal with him again until the day of the court. After that he didn't return my calls or emails and neither has his paralegal who is as big of a con artist as his boss. They have done nothing but give me misinformation and have not attempted to help me in any way. It is going on two weeks since I reached out to this office for help, yet again, and I have gotten nothing in return. I hope anyone considering him as their lawyer takes a hard look elsewhere because he is not worth his weight in gold.
