Outstanding representation and counsel

John McHugh and Tatyana Spurgeon made a phenomenal team during an emotionally draining legal action. Their combined approach ensured that I was completely confident in their professional skills, while they also conveyed compassion and empathy during the situation to its conclusion. They were forthr...ight, direct, communicative, and honest throughout the entire process. Any and all questions that I had were responded to in a VERY timely manner, and both seemed to go well beyond the routine working hours to address my questions. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to L&M, and to have been served by this wonderful team, and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal representation.

Don't hesitate. If you need him, Jon is a go-to attorney.

Jon was a professional from the beginning. He replaced another departing attorney, and picked up my file on the run. He advocated and was persistent in dealing with the DCSE bureaucracy. He kept me well informed, and was responsive to email- sometimes within seconds. I'd recommend Jon, and will u...se him again if the situation arises.

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.
