A Wonderful Lawyer

I found myself terrified when having escaped an abusive relationship my child's father sued me for full custody making a plethora of false accusations. I met with several attorneys that all required a revolving retainer and other financial hurdles until finding Hugh. He worked with me patiently on a ...financial set up and has had continuous victories against the multiple lawyers from designer firms the man suing me has employed. He is encouraging, honest and efficient. He responds to phone calls, texts and emails and has been an absolute life saver in a very challenging time. I have every confidence that Hugh is a superior lawyer and I am lucky to have discovered his services.

There Til The End

We hired Mr. McCloskey to defend our 16 year old grandson. Mr. McCloskey took this to terms with his knowledge and determination, not just to help our grandson, but to fight the system to keep juveniles out of the adult system. He won't just take "NO" as an answer as he continues to file petitions ...with higher courts to right this. He continues to stay in touch and keep us informed of exactly where we stand with the system. So proud to have him as an attorney and would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants someone who will be there til the end as he has and continues to be for us!

Smart, honest and experienced!

Hugh's wide-range of experiences helped me in many ways. He's extremely fair and thoughtful and is brutally honest, which I appreciate. He knows the law and will look for the best outcome for his clients. He'll look at all sides of an argument and provide both sides of a prospective decision, expl...aining in depth what it means for his client. He's a researcher, and will determine the best path for success. Hugh rectified an unfortunate disillusion settlement regarding child support for me, I have no doubt that his expertise will prove invaluable for you, as well. I would highly recommend Hugh McCloskey to anyone seeking legal representation!

Would ABSOLUTELY Use Again

I came to Hugh with a nearly possible case - requesting termination of visitation rights for the non-custodial parent. Hugh got to know the children involved and did an outstanding job representing us and our particular situation to the court. He seemed to genuinely care - I never felt like a dollar ...sign to him. He saw the case through and continued to work for us when the other party kept refusing to cooperate and we ended up back in court 6 months later. I absolutely would use Hugh again for any of my legal needs; in fact, I have referred several people to him!
