Doylestown, PA – Attorney Heather A. Hines has joined Williams Family Law, P.C. as an associate, bringing with her a distinguished background in family law, criminal prosecution, and civic engagement.

“What makes Heather such a powerful addition to our firm is the incredible duality of her experience,” said Jeffrey M. Williams, Founder and Managing Partner of the firm. “She has navigated some very high-stakes cases in the courtroom, yet her extensive background in public advocacy ensures she never loses sight of the human element.”

Before entering private practice, Heather spent nearly a decade as an assistant district attorney in Montgomery County, prosecuting cases involving firearms, drug offenses, violent crime, and sex offenses. Her work resulted in multiple awards recognizing successful prosecutions of violent crimes, including a first-degree murder conviction. She also served with the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, where she was chief of the forfeiture unit.

Heather later transitioned from government service to public-interest advocacy, joining the Senior Law Center, a legal aid nonprofit serving older adults. She opened the organization’s Bucks County office and provided free legal services to senior victims of crime and financial exploitation, further strengthening her client-centered approach to advocacy.

A magna cum laude graduate of Southern Connecticut State University and a graduate of Widener University School of Law with pro bono distinction, she is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania.

She is a member of the Bucks County, Montgomery County and Pennsylvania bar associations – with memberships in the Family Law sections of each organization – and is Vice Chair of the Bucks County Bar Association Women Lawer Division.

Her community involvement includes serving as a Trustee for the Bucks County Bar Foundation, as a volunteer PFA attorney for the Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania, full membership in the Vidocq Society, and as Vice President of the nonprofit, Cold Case Initiative.
