Top notch divorce attorney!

Tiffany is first rate! She took very good care of me throughout my complex divorce. My former spouse is a military man based abroad, who was adamant about not getting divorced, even though he hasn't seen me or our daughter for the better part of ten years. Once I was finally able to serve him papers ...(he was visiting the US very briefly), from that point forward he was completely unreasonable about the amount of money he wanted. I had been paying the mortgage by myself those ten years, plus putting my daughter through school, and yet he wanted half the value of the house and half of my pension, without giving me anything! I'm very happy to say that by the end of the whole process, I was able to pay him a much more affordable amount, and keep the house for myself and my daughter, and also keep my pension. How did things work out so well? All thanks to Tiffany. From the very beginning, she was completely resolute about researching the case law to see where I could win on various disputed points. She was a powerful and dogged negotiator on my behalf, pushing my ex to respond to offers quickly and helping me avoid all the emotional baggage that he was trying to throw at me. She was direct and to the point in discussing the case with my ex's attorney, and she made sure that this very complicated case could get resolved as quickly as possible. Tiffany has always been professional and accessible to any of my queries. If you are going through a tough divorce and want someone who will listen and really fight for your side, you should go with Tiffany.

Professionalism in Divorce and Custody at its Best!

Tiffany Hughes was instrumental during my divorce process and continues to be now even two years after the fact. Her counsel has an immeasurable value. She consistently goes above and beyond the call in providing thorough information and prompt responses to any of my questions or situations. I feel I... can contact Tiffany with any question regarding my legal issues and she happily responds, no matter what the issue. She always explains things to me so that I can easily understand how it relates to my specific decree and rights/responsibilities outlined in said decree. Her advice has been crucial during difficult legal issues regarding my ex-husband and how things are spelled out in our decree. She is a true professional and also a very relatable lawyer that really understands my needs and helps educate her clients to get them the best possible outcome. She remains a trusted resource that I go to for follow-up questions pertaining to my specific decree or any other issues that surface since my divorce was final. Anyone would be lucky to have her representing them.

Hired Tiffany for an Order of Protection-- SHES THE BEST!!

I hired Tiffany for a domestic violence case a few months ago. My wife had me kicked out of my own home and was trying to take away my kids. She got a temporary restraining order without even telling me and I was locked out of my house when the police knocked on my door. Gina went to the hearing with... me and we had a trial that lasted the whole day. At the end, the judge denied my wife's restraining order. Gina got me 50-50 custody of the kids. I am very grateful that she was there for me. I highly recommend Tiffany for any issues with Orders of Protection that you may have.

Never try to be your own lawyer----HIRE TIFFANY!

I recommend Tiffany a for any family law court issues. I started my case on my own while I was in another state. I signed everything and just wanted the case done. Then I went to Tiffany to try to fix what I had screwed up. I actually did this twice before I learned. I thought I could handle my case ...on my own because an attorney costs so much money. She was very patient and understanding. She immediately went into court to fix my errors. Because I had signed a few things without an attorney helping me I had quite a bit of work to do to get back what I had lost. But, Tiffany helped me get through the process and at the end of it all I was happy with the outcome. Sadly, my divorce included custody issues so I will be needing Tiffany’s services for many more years. But, I have learned my lesson and I will never go at the family law process alone again – I will always have Tiffany as my lawyer. I highly recommend Tiffany, you wont be disappointed!!

Tiffany gave me everything I needed; Tremendous Support, Strength and Courage!

After looking at reviews, calling and talking to a handful of different attorneys, I eventually called Tiffany's office and was connected to her right away. She immediately had a free phone consultation with me and I got to explain what my problems were. I wanted someone good and I wasn't disappointe...d. I let my instincts guide me and they were right on. From the start, Tiffany made me feel important to her. She spent time discussing my case and answered all of my questions, telling me what I could expect with my situation and outlined a detailed plan including possible experts she recommended in my case. Actually, at the first meeting, after Tiffany reviewed the tax returns that I had brought with me, she mentioned some deductions that had been missed, resulting in me filing amended returns and getting thousands back. Thank you Tiffany!! As I look back, what Tiffany had predicted on that initial visit all came true, plus much more. Tiffany always returned my phone calls and emails. She made the impossible, working with my wife possible, so I could make it to the other side in one piece. I relied on Tiffany to guide me through the turmoil, to be in the best position for me emotionally as well as financially. With Tiffany there by my side, she gave me confidence to make it through. Tiffany was phenomenal in encouraging me, as I relied on her heavily for legal advice and putting my mind at ease with my concerns. There were some curveballs thrown and Tiffany sidestepped them like a pro calling the opposing parties bluff. She has a magical way of connecting with people, making them feel important. Tiffany is smart, energetic, caring, professional, competent and hardworking with an extremely charismatic personality. When you put all these wonderful traits together you have an exceptional divorce attorney. Tiffany may care too much. She works hard and is on your side. Tiffany is someone you can trust because she will do her very best for you. You can't go wrong with Tiffany! She is the very best and she never let me down. Tiffany is a great attorney and I can see why. Many people that I spoke to who know Tiffany told me just how good of an attorney she is; including former staff, experts in her field and fellow attorneys. I really like Tiffany and I truly appreciate everything she did for me and I'm extremely grateful!
