DJ Hinton Lawyers

DJ Hinton Lawyers is a criminal law firm established in 2016 by David Hinton. David Hinton has provided legal assistance to clients in Hervey Bay and Maryborough since 1998, after beginning his legal career in 1989. He was admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland and the High Court of Australia in 1991. The firm is family-owned and operated, with offices in Hervey Bay and Caloundra.

David Hinton is a member of the Queensland Law Society, the Queensland Family Law Practitioners Association, and the Australian Lawyers Alliance Family Law Section. The team is headed by principal David Hinton in Hervey Bay and associate Meaghan Smyth in Caloundra. The firm provides assistance and support to family law clients, handles will and estate disputes, specialises in insurance and TPD claims, provides conveyancing services, handles civil and commercial litigation, and handles traffic and criminal law matters.

A criminal law practice in the Hervey Bay area, DJ Hinton Lawyers draws consistent praise for the manner in which it guides clients through demanding matters. Reviews time and again mention the professionalism and depth of knowledge brought to each engagement, with David, Holly and Karen singled out by name for the personal attention they provided.

A point made in several accounts is the standard of communication: explanations were given in full, queries were answered without delay, and clients felt informed at every stage rather than left to wonder what came next. Charges are described as fair and reasonable, and the firm's grasp of the issues at hand is said to have given clients confidence in the advice they received. Reliability features strongly too, with problems that surfaced being addressed promptly instead of being allowed to drag on, and results that matched what clients had hoped for.

The team's approachable style is noted across the feedback, including from one client who dealt with the firm over a two-year period and found the experience distinguished by expertise and a readiness to help. Matters span criminal law and broader legal services, and the recurring theme is a practice that keeps clients informed and responds quickly until the work is finished.
