This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

abandoned by my abusive husband and by my divorce attorney.

Jane Hughes, you convinced me to give Diane Tiveron's firm $3500 to retain your expertise in divorcing my passive aggressive, covertly narcissistic husband and you abandoned me without one word. Where did you go Jane? I made it very clear to you that I am disabled, unemployed and on my last few doll...ars to pay my mortgage, but I needed your expertise and I needed you on my side. And then you disappeared. You took the time to contact my probono attorney to obtain my file, but did no other work in the months that I was waiting to hear from you. I sent an email inquiry and after waiting a week to hear back I received a call from some guy. Did it ever occur to you that the abusive relationship I have been trying to survive in and get out of would make me uncomfortable with a man as my counsel? In my experience, you lack the sensitivity and empathy needed to truly care about and stand up for abused women. I am now in a battle with Diane Tiveron as she seems to believe I do not deserve a refund. Diane became so angry when I fired her after the child she assigned to me forgot all about our scheduled appointment. Why did you convince me to give up my probono attorney knowing full well you would not be around to fulfill your obligation to me? Why Jane? You took my money and my probono attorney and I continue to be trapped in this marriage that is literally making me closer to homelessness with each passing day. I can't even hire another attorney because Diane Tiveron won't refund my money. Thank you so much Jane Hughes-you really are a great attorney. If being an attorney means hurting people rather than helping them. Great work.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
