Tiffany Hughes is the Advocate for you!!

Undergoing a divorce as a reluctant defendant...particularly after a long term marriage with complicated business, contractual, estate, and childcare-related issues...is a brutally emotional process that most of us have no experience in navigating. The terminology, the invasive nature of inquiries, a...nd the prescriptive legal requirements are all foreign. Having someone representing you that can maintain a rational discourse with you as well as opposing counsel is essential. Tiffany Hughes did exactly that for me. She presented the hard realities of my case, the law, and early-on set my expectations. At the same time Tiffany developed solid defensive strategies built on facts, events, and chronology to counter the bombastic theatrics of opposing counsel. This was a protracted roller coaster ride and at times, Tiffany served as both legal counselor and therapist. Her style is both collaborative and strategically offensive; a nice mix. During nearly a full year of support and hand holding with enough twists and turns to make a long running soap opera, Tiffany was not only able to pull my emotions off the ceiling, but steadly educate opposing counsel on the rational weaknesses in their case. Despite our defendant status, Tiffany took the lead in nearly every filing and proposal to ensure that plaintiff's counsel reacted to our templates, ideas, and requirements. This is not the cheapest way to go, but the only way when facing a wave of unrealistic and marignally logical thinking from opposing counsel. I didn't always like what Tiffany was telling me...and at times didn't even follow that advice...but her counsel was dead on accurate. Tiffany always had my interests at heart and were extraordinary in her knowledge of the ever-changing details. There was never the need to revisit issues or bring them up to speed...they were nearly always acting, not reacting. Through it all, and because my husband wanted to fight tooth and nail about everything which made this so expensive, the exceptional quality of that defense is unquestioned.

A Impressed Professional

Tiffany Hughes is a great attorney. I hold her in very high regard. I have worked on cases with her and it is clear to me that Tiffany will go that extra mile for all her clients. She does her research. She is thorough. She is always well prepared and because of that she can aggressively argue for h...er clients. If you want someone who cares to fight for you I advice you to hire Ms. Tiffany Hughes.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED-- If your looking for the best you have found it

I am very impressed with the firm The Law Office of Tiffany M. Hughes. Tiffany represented me and she looked at my case as though it was her own life and protected my family as well as my interests. Tiffany represented in many capacities. She handled my divorce, child visitation, child support, and... my ex's contribution to my attorney fees. My case with complicated, but Tiffany was strong and smart and presented a fair and thorough argument that ultimately protected my children from a terrible situation and we were granted a supervised visitation order (reversing the judge's initial inclination to gloss over the entire issue). I was so impressed with Tiffany that I hired her again when further issues came up a year later, regarding my ex's petition to abate child support. I never felt ignored or patronized by any staff at this firm, even when I was asking tons of questions that I knew were beginner level. I would recommend Tiffany and this firm to anyone.

Great results- Tiffany is an Amazing Attorney!!

I hired Tiffany to help me obtain child support from my daughters father. It had been years and I had not received anything. I kept going into Court but nothing would happen, I never got a dime. Then I hired Tiffany and FINALLY I got child support. Tiffany also helped me get contributions toward medi...cal premiums, dental, extracurricular activities, day care and MORE!! I couldn't believe it!! I have worked with many attorneys in the past and Tiffany is by far the most talented and understanding Attorney I have ever met. If you want results and you want an Attorney that understands you and your situation, HIRE TIFFANY NOW!!!! You wont be disappointed.
