Matthew E. Hughes

One of the best decisions I ever made was hiring Matthew E. Hughes for my child custody case. He was extremely knowledgeable and had extensive experience in both military law and family law which is the exact lawyer I wanted to work with in my case when interviewing lawyers. I appreciated his calm, c...ool collected demeanor and professionalism throughout the entire process. He gave fantastic legal counsel when asking questions and was extremely understanding, responsive and a great communicator on updates regarding my case. He thoroughly answered questions to make sure that I understood everything and kept me calm and prepared me every single step. And walked me through what to expect in court and how to prepare and most of all was extremely kind and understanding. I could not thank you enough sir for your assistance and I will be recommending this lawyer to others in the future as well. Thank you for my children most of all. Due to Mr.Hughes extensive experience knowledge and understanding in both the military law and civilian law i won my case and I truly believe without his knowledge and expertise i wouldn’t be in the position I am today. If your going through a case that involves military service members and child custody and family law then I truly believe theirs no better choice then Matthew Hughes.

I admit, I am a difficult person to work with! In my divorce court battle of two years, I changed two sets of lawyers (some who have been highly rated as the absolute "best" in VA costing more than $500 an hour). Matt Hughes was the third, and a charm he certainly was. Matt definitely brought me bac...k confidence in my case, and at the end, I got everything I wanted, seriously. I am very thankful that now I get to spend much precious time with my kids and do all the things I want to do with them. When my "calculation" said I should pay $1000+ in child support, Matt managed to bring it down to $200. Matt is responsive on email and text. Paying him is easy and flexible. Setting up the file exchange on the cloud was very helpful, rather than mailing paperwork through snail mail and office visits, etc. I should also mention that I hired Matt during Covid. I looked him up online, hired him online, emailed and uploaded all the documents online, he wrapped up the case, and we never even met once in person - much as I would like to(!) but Covid dictates otherwise. I got to "see" him once on Zoom in the hearing before the actual court trial. We had such a strong case that the opposite side literally waited until the day before trial to agree to all our demands - avoiding trail and settling outside court. I wholeheartedly recommend Matt Hughes.
