Review D. Hughey

Exactly the kind of attorney that I needed! He got the job done!

Posted by

Nate was my defense attorney on a Home Inspection lawsuit. He was very clear in explaining the process and putting me at ease that he would be working diligently to protect my interests. I appreciated his confidence, both in me and in his abilities. The Hughey team always kept me up to date with all matters pertaining to the suit and I never felt “out of the loop”. I dealt with several of the people inside his office, but could always get Nate on the phone when I needed him. The end result was a highly-skilled attorney providing the highest level of service to his client. I was and still am pleased with Nate and the Hughey Law Firm. I have referred friends to him because of the way in which he handled my case.

Great law firm

Posted by

When i had my accident in June 2014 Hughey law firm worked hard to handle my case. When i needed to contact them they always returned my calls. Brad handled my case and was great about keeping me updated on where we were in the process. If i needed any questions answered they made sure to answer so that i understood. I am very pleased with this firm.
