Posted by Vincent and Evelyn | March 10, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Professional, Competent, Rockstar quality attorney

Brett is on top of his game and extremely professional, and his knowledge and experience were incredibly evident. He is extremely thorough, and sensitive to his clients unique circumstances. He made sure that we had all the support we needed, worked directly with all our health care providers, and ...handled every minute legal detail fully. Of course he made sure we were properly treated by the liable party and we were satisfied with our settlement. But Brett's personal concern, communication, and integrity is what helped us a most through a difficult time, as the case took over a year due to the medical care needed. We hope never to need an attorney for an auto accident injury again. But if we ever do, Brett is our first and only call. Brett will not disappoint or mislead you, and you will be very well represented and protected under his legal care.

Mr. Brett Hughes-Excellent, Wonderful, Amazing

Mr. Hughes has been & continues to be professional, knowlegeable and very easy to talk to & understand. My husband and I are dealing with some issues with our young adult son and he has been amazing all the way through. He has kept us informed of every possible outcome and explains things to us where... we can make the best decision on how to proceed in the best interest of our son as well as ourselves. He answer's every email or call as soon as possible & makes us feel like we are his only clients. My son's issues are drug related with some traffic violations as well. The legal system would be totally overbearing without his guidance. He displays his vast knowledge base in every aspect of our case which has proved time & time again to be the best possible outcome for us.

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.
