You can trust Hugh to give it 100 %

I was at a loss when it came to my disability. I had been trying for a long time and getting denied over and over. Hugh really came up to the plate and helped. I appreciate all that he did. There was no way I would have gotten my disability in the end if it wasn't for Hugh.

Real Professional

I terminated an attorney on my disability case because there was simply no dialogue. Buyer beware of TV commercials advertising legal services. What this really means is they're inundated with cases because of the high exposure which in turn creates one sided communication. I was blessed that Hugh to...ok me on mid-flight and got me to the finish line. He is a great communicator and is on-top of his game. I highly recommend his services. Thanks Hugh!

great lawyer

Hugh was very helpful and his knowledge is second to none. If you want a good lawyer, go somewhere else, but if you want a GREAT lawyer that understands what your going through and always keeps you in the loop then Hugh is your man

Helpful Hugh

Hugh was very helpful and informative and kept me up to date on my disability case. Whenever I called, they answered my questions. It was an interesting experience.

Staff

This attorney won my disability case and I am thrilled. But don't expect any other help after they get their pay. Hugh said they're not done representing me until I get my back pay, but upon e mailing his staff wondering what they could do to help i was treated like I was an inconvenience.

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.
