Amazing

Absolutely amazing, they took care my every need. Great to work with, they actually care for you the person, not just the case. If I could give them a thousand stars I would.

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 e...xplained 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 di...scussions 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 communica...tions 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.

Avvo Rating

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.
