At Hines Maxwell, we combine local knowledge with legal expertise to provide you with effective representation. When you choose Hines Maxwell, you will never be passed off to an inexperienced associate attorney. All legal representation is provided by the named partners of the firm: Mark Hines and Kevin Maxwell.

Mark’s practice areas include residential and commercial real estate, wills, trusts and estate planning, and business formation and representation. Mark Hines is the only attorney in Johnson County to be board certified in residential real estate by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Board certification is “a mark of excellence and distinguishing accomplishment,” and is achieved through an extensive peer review process that culminates in a thorough written examination administered by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. It is one of the few accolades for attorneys that must be earned and cannot be purchased. By becoming board certified, Mark joined the elite group of roughly 7% of all Texas attorneys who are board certified.

Kevin’s practice areas include residential and commercial real estate, wills, trusts and estate planning, and business formation and representation. Kevin is a former financial auditor for the United States Federal Reserve. He then spent several years as a home builder before pursuing his law degree. Kevin’s background allows him to provide special insight to real estate development and the risks that are faced by small business owners.

At Hines-Maxwell, our attorneys are committed to our areas of practice and we won't stray from that.

Probate, real estate and business matters often go hand in hand, and we want our clients to be able to develop a strategy and plan that takes all of those factors into consideration.

We know our practice areas and we know them well. That also means we know our limits.
