Founding Partner | Personal Injury & Workers’ Compensation Attorney

For nearly four decades, Robert Hines, Jr. has dedicated his legal career to helping injured individuals and their families navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives. As a founding partner of The Hines & Wilson Law Firm, Robert has built his practice around a simple but powerful principle: people deserve an advocate when they are facing insurance companies, employers, and legal systems that often place obstacles between them and the compensation they deserve.

Since beginning his legal career in 1988, Robert has represented workers injured on the job, individuals harmed in serious accidents, and families coping with the financial and emotional consequences of life-changing injuries. Throughout his career, he has remained committed to protecting the rights of everyday people and helping clients secure the benefits and financial recovery needed to move forward after an injury.

Robert’s educational background reflects both his legal and business expertise. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 1983 and his Master of Business Administration in 1984 from the University of Missouri before returning to earn his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Missouri School of Law in 1988. This unique combination of business and legal education provides him with valuable insight into the financial and practical challenges clients face after an injury and strengthens his ability to advocate on their behalf.

Under Robert’s leadership, The Hines & Wilson Law Firm has continued the mission established by the firm’s founder, Robert Hines, Sr.: helping people rather than corporations. Today, the firm remains focused on representing injured workers and accident victims throughout Missouri, providing personalized representation and experienced legal guidance backed by decades of combined experience.

Robert is an active member of numerous professional organizations, including the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys, the American Trial Lawyers Association, the Boone County Bar Association, and The Missouri Bar. His involvement in these organizations reflects his commitment to maintaining the highest standards of professional excellence and staying at the forefront of developments in personal injury and workers’ compensation law.

Robert is also a member of the Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG), a national organization focused on advancing the rights of injured workers through education, research, and advocacy. His involvement reflects his longstanding commitment to helping workers and their families navigate the challenges that often follow serious workplace injuries.

Throughout his career, Robert has earned the trust of clients by combining legal knowledge, practical judgment, and a genuine commitment to helping people through challenging circumstances. Whether assisting an injured worker pursuing benefits after a workplace accident or helping an accident victim seek compensation for serious injuries, he approaches every case with the same dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for the individuals and families he serves.
Today, Robert continues to focus his practice on workers’ compensation and personal injury matters, drawing on decades of experience to guide clients through the legal process and fight for the compensation they deserve.
