Very Impressed

Mallory and her team were amazing to work with. I was forced into a very difficult situation in which I was wrongly accused. The panic and uncertainty was overwhelming. They did a phenomenal job breaking everything down for me and providing a strategic plan as to how we were going to address my le...gal situation. The experts they have access to and their thoroughness were simply amazing. As a result, my case was dismissed. I would highly recommend Mallory, her team, and Berry Law Firm. I was very impressed with their services.

Highly recommended! Mallory Hughes is a true professional who communicated clearly and worked efficiently resulting in a positive outcome. It's never fun when you need an attorney. From the initial consult until the end I knew I was in good hands. Hopefully I won't need an attorney again, but if I do..., I will reach out to Ms.Hughes again in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything!

A Decision Which can Alter Your Life

Mallory is the best criminal defense attorney in the state of Nebraska, and is surely growing that reputation to include the country as well. I was facing false allegations which carried 50 years. I was arrested one random morning and my family contacted her, to which she responded immediately, whi...le at an airport in Mexico. Mallory streamlined every step of the criminal case concisely, precisely, and communicated effectively what the next steps were. Once the rubber met the road with pre-trial hearings, I was able to witness the most fervernt and detailed display of zealous advocacy. Mallory truly leaves no stone underturned and the level of professionalism combined with legal knowledge is unmatched. If you find yourself in what is usually the worst situation to ever occur in one's life, Mallory is the attorney you need to call.

governors' pardon granted

My 2 year journey started with Mallory but along the way we also acquire her associate Seth. Both were amazing in skills, knowledge and communication. I never ever feel like i was just another unimportant client or they were ever too busy to address my questions or concerns. In the end, they got me a... pardon for a 25 year old past. I am so grateful for these two attorneys and would recommend them to anyone!

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.
