Fast and Easy

Tiffany was a pleasure to work with. She helped me file for divorce and navigate the legal process. I was pleased with the quick response time, and she explained the procedure clearly so that I knew what to expect.

Wonderful, caring, responsive attorney and staff- AMAZING!!

I hired Tiffany on my custody case. My ex has never been involved – not at the hospital, never paid a dime of support. After I filed a case with the Department of child support services, he filed for full custody of my son (who is now 5!). I was beyond scared. I called her office crying, and she calm...ed me down. Her office is the only one that actually made me feel like they cared about me. When I met Tiffany, I knew she was the right attorney, because she set forth a strategy and helped me understand in regular people terms how we would proceed. The case went EXACTLY as she explained it would. In the end, I continued to get full custody, and she helped me obtain arrears and establish a child support order going forward. I know that there may be future battles (as she explained, co-parenting is forever), but it’s nice to know I have someone who is knowledgeable and professional on my side forever.

Settlement Oreintated but a Shark in the Courtroom when needed!!

Tiffany, Is kind and patient and good at what she does. I had an extremely difficult and time-consuming divorce and custody case, she always made me feel like I was important and that my case mattered to her. She saw me through to the end, explaining everything in detail and keeping me aware of what ...the process was. She wanted to settle the case if possible to save me fees but I knew that if it didn't happen that she was one of the best litigators in the court room that I have ever seen (this isn't the first time that I have had a lawyer). She did an amazing job and was able to push the other attorney to settlement!! Shes a shark in the court room, and shes beyond amazing overall. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a competent, committed, and caring attorney who is highly effective at what she does.

For difficult situations you need the best, Hire Tiffany Hughes!!

Tiffany came in on the tail-end of my divorce and custody case: she helped me with the removal issues in my case with my wife wanting to take the children from me. No one could help me. She was able to resolve all the issues in the case, that the so called, "best lawyers" said could but didn't. She w...as very thorough, professional, responsive (always got back to me the same day), and easy to talk to. She is very meticulous and careful about everything. I found her to be very professional and ethical in her dealings with the opposing side--she's a shark when needed but puts her settlement hat on when she can. I found this to be very important in my divorce and custody case as things can already be very difficult and adversarial and having an attorney who dials that back rather than ratcheting it up really helped it move along more smoothly. I really enjoyed working with her and felt very supported and very trusting in her abilities. She is also very caring and showed interest in me and my children as people and focused on what I wanted rather than me just being another case. I would highly recommend her. I continue to praise her to others. I often just drop a line and say hello as well. I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

Tiffany is a born leader, negotiator, influencer, a real ADVOCATE who cares about me and my children.

The job Tiffany did on my divorce is nothing short of AMAZING. She got me divorced yesterday after a 4-year battle after hiring 5 attorneys before hiring her. That's right. 4 horrendous years of hellishness. And 5 attorneys; I interviewed so many other attorneys I lost count. Tiffany absolutely deliv...ered in negotiating an excellent settlement for me, and I owe her for getting me my LIFE back and my FREEDOM. Tiffany is a born leader, negotiator, influencer, and the difference she makes is the fact that she is a real ADVOCATE who cares about me and my children. She took my calls on weekends. Tiffany worked her a** off for me. My case was a major priority to her, and she is nothing short of an absolute God-send. Tiffany does not miss details and sifts through them like nobody I've ever seen, removing all the complication, and she operates on your behalf from a position of power: I can tell you unequivocally that my case was going in a terrible direction before I hired Tiffany. Really, my case was pretty much like Ebola: nobody wanted to take it on. I am so incredibly grateful to Tiffany that she did take my case on because she turned my divorce around in my favor. She is an expert litigator & researches all the applicable case law and knows exactly how to present your case. I love that she answers my questions in a way I can understand, not in some complicated, alien legalese. She worked very efficiently and put only exactly the time necessary for my case. If you meet her one time you will see why I recommend her so highly and trust her implicitly. I hope to never have to hire her again, but if the need ever arose like if I needed a pre-nuptual agreement or any custody issues or something (God forbid) there is nobody else I would ever even think of hiring other than Tiffany.
