A Remarkable Experience

I had the privilege of working with an exceptional divorce lawyer.. I wholeheartedly recommend J.P. Hough without hesitation. Mr. Hough's exceptional professionalism, extensive legal knowledge, and compassionate approach transformed what could have been an overwhelming experience into a manageabl...e one. I must also commend the entire team working with my divorce. Mr. Hough's staff was friendly, responsive, and consistently ensured that my case progressed smoothly. I achieved a resolution that provided me with peace of mind and the opportunity to move forward with my life. If you are searching for a divorce lawyer who will tirelessly advocate for your best interests while providing unwavering support, look no further.

A must hire in family law!

I filed for divorce and was very pleased with the work of J.P. and his assistant Karyn. J.P. took the time to answer any questions I had and made the process simple and fast. They did not nickel and dime for every little thing and were very focused on doing the job the right way. J.P. and his team ma...de sure everything was taken care of which really lessened the stress of my divorce. J.P. is one of the good ones you're going to want to hire! I highly recommend J.P. and his team to anyone! You won't be disappointed.

Definitely Recommend

I filed for divorce at the age of 70 which was very scary got me. I had never been thru this before. JP made the entire process painless. Everything went smoothly and quickly. I filed in April and was divorced by June. He was very patient with me. I had many questions, and he answered them thoroughly... without making me feel stupid. I didn’t even have to go to court. Everything was done virtually. If you need an attorney I would absolutely recommend JP. I know if I need anything in the future, I will be calling JP. Thank you JP and also your assistant Karyn you are both amazing. I appreciate your help.

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.
