Working with Vines was very difficult he was very unresponsive and evasive for over a year. A very disingenious and crooked person that doesn't genuinely advocate for children. I would stay away from this terrible person. All he wants is money. This guy is a big time thief. He should be locked up. He has been divorced 3 times yet he is going to recommend what is best for my family... No thanks.

Working with Mr. Vines was a terrible experience and I would not recommend him to anyone. The only time he makes himself available is when he thinks he's going to receive some money. He was rude and disrespectful.

Working with Mr. Vines has given us a glimpse into his methods. He will relate to a child by telling an alleged story of he himself loosing custody of his children. How he fights to get that child back and into the arms of those they deserve. He does this by manipulating the child. The story serves as a trigger. The child hears words like "taken", "justice" and "fairness" and immediately vilifies the other parent based on Mr. Vines emotional nudging of the child. On 4/15/24 We also witnessed Mr. Vines explode in open fit of rage in front of myself and two other attorneys. He did this against one of the moms preset of the children he was "representing" the whole time yelling "THIS IS THE WAY I WANT THINGS DONE" A child manipulator and a verbal and emotional assaulter of women is all we can expect from Mr. Vines. Please look elsewhere.for your child's representative. Jessy
