Hina practices at the trial and appellate levels in state and federal courts nationwide, where she focuses on securing justice for mesothelioma victims through rigorous analysis and innovative legal strategies. She is respected for her investigative, research, and writing skills, as well as her deep commitment to clients.
Hina excels in motion practice at every stage of litigation. Her work includes managing complex discovery, drafting and arguing dispositive and pre-trial motions, and handling post-trial briefing in cases involving consumers exposed to asbestos-contaminated talc products and other sources of asbestos exposure. Her strategic approach has contributed to important trial and post-trial victories nationwide.
Before joining Iola Gross & Forbes-King, Hina worked at nationally respected mesothelioma litigation boutiques and spent nearly a decade as a briefing attorney with the Federal Public Defender’s Office in San Antonio. In that role, she handled trial, appellate, and post-conviction briefing in a wide range of cases, including death-penalty matters—experience that sharpened her ability to analyze records, identify legal error, and present clear, persuasive arguments under the highest stakes.
In 2017, Hina worked on the U.S. Supreme Court case Rosales-Mireles v. United States, 138 S. Ct. 1897, which addressed the standard of review for sentencing-guideline miscalculations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she led compassionate-release efforts in the Western District of Texas on behalf of medically vulnerable inmates, work for which she received the Lucien B. Campbell Award for Exemplary Public Interest Service.
