Amazing Customer Service

Mr. Hughes and his team are wonderful. My legal assistant, Kristen, provided exceptional care. She always kept me informed of what was going on and what was going to happen next. I would strongly recommend and encourage anyone who needs their services to contact them.

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.
