Very Passionate Lawyers
Tiffany always put me at ease. She knew the right lawyers in her office to work with me. I started with Nadia, who put me at ease right away and relieved my stress level. Later, Alexandra worked with me. Alexandra defended my son's rights passionately. She made sure his rights and feelings were respected in each decision. Tiffany was involved in every single step. She made sure I and my son were represented fairly. Tiffany and her team stood up for me. They understood what I was going through and supported me. They never gave in. They got for my son what is fair and right.

Someone you can trust
Tiffany took over my child custody case from my initial attorney who literally did nothing for me. Originally, I thought Attorneys were not punctual and were just always unavailable, but with Tiffany that was never the case. Tiffany jumped right in, not missing a beat. She was familiar with what was going on, made recommendations and was always immediately responsive to what I did or did not want to do. She always very clearly advised me of the pros and cons moving forward. Throughout the process, she never lost patience listening to me complain or cry or just calling or emailing about something to set my mind at ease. Though you could say, she is just doing her job, she has a special way of dealing with people, never making you feel like you are bothering her or asking a stupid question. Not only has she acted as my legal counsel, she became my confidant on other levels as well. She is very knowledgeable and responsive and a wonderful attorney. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good attorney. You will not be disappointed!

Hardworking and Driven
I am a divorce professional who met Tiffany about 2 1/2 years ago and have talked with her pretty regularly since. Since then, I have referred about 3-4 people I know to her and I have heard back from 2, both saying they were very satisfied and happy with the outcome that Tiffany helped provide. I find her to be hardworking and driven, and I believe she cares about each client tremendously. I will continue to refer clients to Tiffany!

No Stone Unturned
Tiffany was both that voice of reason and strong voice advocating for me. She worked diligently and persistently, with a thorough approach, in order to respond to matters of my case quickly. She heard my concerns, provided options and was that much needed voice, aligned with what I truly needed in my case.

Competent, Dedicated, and No Surprises
I hired Tiffany's firm to handle my divorce, well after I had dug many holes for myself and put myself in a vulnerable position. Tiffany Hughes, will set you up so as to avoid nasty surprises and traps you never knew existed. Tiffany's firm was able to explain to me in terms I could understand my position and the damages I had already done to myself. No nonsense, and so I had my expectations set. Tiffany and her firm were excellent at keeping me up to date with each step of the process. In my experience, not knowing is the worst situation, and this law firm kept my blinders off, cushioned my expectations, and did not leave me hanging in a world of hurt. Sadly, divorce is not only expensive, but it is time-consuming and stretches into the future with many unexpected twists in the path. The Hughes firm was always available to provide timely updates and advised action steps, and cautioned me about many of my own instincts. Tiffany has good market intelligence which she used to inform her advice and my decisions. For instance, she was able to advise me as to the likely treatment I would receive based on the judge assigned to my case. In addition, the Hughes firm has dealt with many different law firms in the Chicago area, and Tiffany seems to have a good feel as to which are the stronger and more aggressive adversaries and those which may be are weaker and more willing to compromise. Good value for money paid. The firm did not send me on any expensive wild goose chases and worked hard to ensure efficiency so as to keep my costs under control. Importantly, there were NO financial surprises!

Excellent Firm
Tiffany and her team of attorneys were excellent to work with. From the start and the initial consult, I felt that my needs and mission were understood. The firm worked together and was always on top of my case. I didn't feel like just a number or another client. I truly felt that my case and the other cases I'm certain were going on simultaneously were all given due attention and care. I would highly recommend this firm. If you don't work directly with Tiffany, any of the other attorneys she has on her team will certainly handle your case with the utmost care and professionalism.

Best attorney!!
I not only recommend attorney Tiffany Hughes but I guarantee once you have used her service you too will look no further. She responds in an extreme timely matter, she is a very knowledge, trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. I used Tiffany for child support case in Sarasota Florida, she is a wonderful attorney I could not have been happier and I will never go anywhere else. Also her supporting attorney Dagny Broom and all office stuff are outstending as well!

Great experience
Tiffany was really great at drafting a pre-marital agreement on short notice. Despite my limited knowledge on the matter, I never felt like I didn't know what was happening with my case. Tiffany was always available to answer questions and explain anything further. Everything was accurate and true to the expectations I had. By hiring Tiffany you can be sure that you will be looped in at all times and never feel like you don't know what's going on with your case. I believe that I got the best representation for my case and would recommend hiring Tiffany.

Highly recommended to help you with your divorce
I spent about 14 months working with Tiffany during my divorce and she was great from the beginning to the end. It was a long process involving a business dissolution too. I interviewed couple other attorneys and when I spoke with her it was brainless, I had to hire her! No regrets at all. She was always very responsive and hard working. She was also providing me a very good emotional support too, which I wouldn’t expect from a lawyer. I had a mediation session with a reputable Judge and she was there to represent me. During the mediation she was very well prepared and confidente and fought for my rights. The case was settled at mediation and no need to go to court. If you are looking for someone who is committed to your case, very personal and has a lot of experience, she is the person to help you.

If you need to win..
I interviewed four attorneys before selecting the BEST one to represent me in my divorce after 30 years of marriage . I reflect on the 3 years I worked with The Law Office of Tiffany Hughes and was continually in awe of Tiffany’s keen intelligence, her dogged determination and indomitable spirit . She fiercely advocated for me at every twist and turn of a contentious litigation. In court one day, I happened to see all the messages she had received during our time in front of the judge and I was floored to see all the emails and texts needing her response - because I truly felt like I was her only client and Number One Priority . How does she do it ? She’s as smart as a whip and her skin is always in the game. Not only that but she is always professional yet very empathetic. She soothed my jagged nerves when needed, and kindly but firmly relayed hard truths about my case at all times. Ms. Hughes knows Family Law, and in the courtroom she’s a force to be reckoned with, completely prepared and laser focused in her craft. This recent client wholly admires her and is abundantly appreciative for her knowledge and attention to detail. Also, a shout out and huge thank you to her associate Lydia Karjaka. Much gratitude to these amazing women who contributed to my well-being and helped me to move forward in creating a new chapter in my life - by working tirelessly for closure and a favorable ending to my former chapter . I remain forever appreciative , Lynda P.

An experienced attorney who fights for you and doesn't nickel and dime you
To those who don't understand what its like having the benefit of Tiffany, they don't know what an Attorney is until you have an Attorney like Tiffany on your side. So, if you want an experienced Attorney who doesn't nickel and dime you and will fight for you like your child is her own, then Tiffany is the Attorney for you. Tiffany truly changed my life. My case was very contentious, after my separation my ex wasn't cooperating with me and was basically using our child as a pawn to get a custody agreement that was favorable for her. Tiffany was involved with my separation every step of the way and without her advice and boldness, I would be an every other weekend Father. Due to Tiffany's extensive knowledge of family law, professionalism, work ethic, availability, boldness, etc. I ended up getting a parenting agreement that was favorable to me (more time than 50%). I am extremely happy with having Tiffany handle my case, am glad I had the The Law Office of Tiffany M. Hughes' team behind me during this tumultuous time.

Attentive, caring and truly a blessing
I was struggling with my separation and couldn't believe I was heading for a divorce. Ms. Hughes and her team did a great job looking out for my best interest when at times I just felt like a mess. She was patient with me but didn't let me get consumed in my grief. I am a divorcee now for almost 6 months and it's good to move on and not have all that weighing me down. Thanks, Ms. Hughes for helping me through one of the hardest times of my life.
