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

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.

With Gratitude

We want to genuinely thank you (Nate and Brad) and all of your staff for the handling of my girlfriend’s case. Your professionalism and dedication that you showed us confirms that your firm was the perfect choice. Being Canadian and not knowing US State Law could have been very stressful but you explained and educated us throughout the entire process. You answered our endless emails and constantly reassured us that we would get through the difficult time together. Your ability to develop such a strong lawyer-client relationship had a great impact and alleviated much stress and anxiety. We want to give a personal shoutout to Brad for your sharp negotiation skills! Thank you for your determination and skill. With gratitude …

Outstanding Service!

Unlike the typical law firm where basic information is gather from the client and the client is sent on their way until a settlement is reached or not, the Hughey Law Firm made me feel like a part of the team and not just a client. They were very professional, they kept me informed, included me in discussions and decisions regarding my case, was available when I needed them, and above all, they made me feel comfortable throughout the process. They truly provided an outstanding service…

Mr. Nate Hughey

Mr. Hughey is the consummate professional with a thorough understanding of the law and the nuanced implications that change peoples’ lives. He was laser-focused on our issues and provided a pathway to justice that would not have been possible had it not been for his knowledge and skill in communications and application. We feel fortunate he was available to represent us when we needed the best. I would highly recommend his services to anyone with a cause or a need requiring the perfect combination of know-how and execution. He will not disappoint.

Experienced, Honest, and Compassionate Attorney!

My family and I have used Nathan Hughey for various legal matters since November 2013. In that time, we have used Mr. Hughey's knowledge and skills as a lawyer to handle a slip and fall claim, review contracts and other documents for my father's business, and more. Mr. Hughey has always been willing to listen to whatever legal questions and concerns that we have had, as well as give his much appreciated, honest opinion on the subject. I have already recommended Mr. Hughey to friends that have needed legal representation due to a car accident and assisted living abuse, and I most certainly will continue to recommend him and Hughey Law Firm for the foreseeable future.

Awesome Attorney!

I used Mr. Hughey for a contract issue that arose from our auto repair business. He was able to get the case settled quickly and for more than what we expected. He was very professional and responded very quickly to our questions. Even though our case wasn't a huge case, he still treated it as though it was. He was a great pleasure to work with. I would recommend him to everyone I know.

Thankful

I'm glad I hired Hughey Law Firm. Nate answered my original inquiry within minutes and has listened intently and responded to my questions without batting an eye. I'm experiencing a plethora of emotions as I'm processing the event that led to me reaching out for legal advice in the first place...it's very comforting to know that I have someone in my corner to help me move forward. His firm has definitely exceeded any expectations I've had going in thus far. If you just need an honest sounding board, just call. You'll be glad you did.

Nate Hughey

Nate is an excellent lawyer. He is an aggressive and very good advocate for his clients. I would recommend him highly! He gets results and will do a very, very good job.

An Attorney With A Heart for Fairness In the Underserved

In every legal and community matter that I've requested proper representation, Mr. Hughey showed knowledge and compassion. He's an advocate that shows tremendous empathy for the underdog and those who have no voice. I'm proud not only call him a good "barrister", but, a very well informed representative of my community and its residents.

Painless experience

I was referred to Mr. Hughey by a friend. I was not looking forward to the experience of having to sue someone but had no choice. This firm offers a streamline process that makes everything very easy and efficient. They are all business and know exactly what to do and how to do it so that you can get what you deserve. Also I would add that through my dealings with Mr. Hughey I was fortunate enough to spend a little time talking to him in matters beyond business. I have no doubt that he is an individual who lives at the highest level of character and integrity. Very honest and up front. Qualities that are often hard to come by. I have a lot to owe to Nate Hughey and his firm. If I have any other legal issues in the future I will not hesitate to call him.

Very Knowledgeable and Friendly

Nathan has helped my family and I on various issues. He has reviewed contracts for us when we began our business to ensure that we were not being taken advantage of. He has additionally given us advice in other matters regarding our business. Nathan is a very caring individual and has always given us his honest thoughts in anything we have asked him. He and his firm are very knowledgeable and are very responsive to their clients.

Hughey Law Firm came through for me.

Hughey Law Firm represented me against the insurer of a pool building company that built a substandard pool in my yard. The pool flooded with debris each time it rained, due to improper sloping on the deck. Nathan Hughey and his staff recovered damages for me and were great to work with.
