Easy and Affordable

I retained Leo as my lawyer for an uncontested divorce. The process was simple and clear and he made sure I was given all the details. He was always very quick to respond to any questions and overall easy to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending him to others going through divorce.

Excellent service

Mr. Hughes represented me in a fairly easy divorce proceeding recently. He is very professional and answered all of my questions/concerns within a reasonable amount of time and made a difficult process much easier.

Uncontested Divorce - Streamlined process

This review applies to my experience with Mr. Hughes for an UNCONTESTED divorce only - no children or property to divide. The cost was exactly the same as I would have paid with the highly touted legalzoom online (including court/filing fees which are charged no matter the method of preparing paperwo...rk). The benefit here is he could efile quickly which only attorneys are authorized to do, as I understand it. I chose Mr. Hughes for that reason and because I prefer to have an attorney review the docs and represent me in the courtroom. NOTE: I come from a family of corporate attorneys and was initially not-super-impressed with his largely email-only approach. In fact, I never spoke with Mr. Hughes until we met outside the courtroom. However, after considering the whole experience, turns out I didn’t need warm/fuzzy - I needed a divorce. Can’t find fault with his professionalism. I was amazed (and a little weary) at the stack of case files he had for the day of my hearing. I wondered if that meant I was in for an all-day ordeal. No worries there - I have never met such an organized person. His process is nailed down SOLID; took maybe thirty minutes to get through about 7 cases ahead of me, then approx 60 seconds for mine to be heard and not one hiccup. Strangely quick and easy: His emails throughout the process are no-nonsense guides that explain CLEARLY the costs, steps required for executing docs, info on final hearing/where to park etc. TIP: READ the emails carefully!! There is nothing left to guess - it’s all in there for this type of case. He spells it out l, but take the time to read directions. I am pretty expert at minimizing attorney communications, but not everyone is. Don’t waste time asking questions that are answered in the emails he sends. BONUS: He was good enough to walk me down to the clerk’s office along with another client who waited about ten minutes for him to wrap up his other cases. He filed our final decrees on the spot and patiently waited while we paid a small fee for two certified copies (the clerk’s credit card machine is dicey, bring $20 cash just in case).. Getting walked-through the filing is a nice touch for anyone restoring their maiden name - it felt good to walk out of the building LEGALLY divorced with MY name back. Now...on to bigger and better adventures!!

Uncontested Divorce

Mr. Hughes was professional and courteous. He took the time to walk me through the whole process and answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly. He sent me the paperwork to fill out and then did all the processing and necessary filing. The overall experience was much easier and pain free tha...n I expected entering in to the divorce process. I will definitely use Mr. Hughes again for my next divorce.
