"I have had the pleasure of knowing Deborah K. Hines Esquire for over twenty(20) years. She was among the first Assistant State's Attorneys whom I hired. I was thoroughly impressed with her competence as a trial attorney. Throughout her tenure in the Baltimore City prosecutor's office, she proved herself to be of the utmost character and professionalism, trying difficult homicide, narcotics, sex offenses and other felony cases.

... I have the highest regard for her character and competence."

Kurt Schmoke, Esq. Dean, Howard University Law School and Former Mayor, Baltimore, MD
