Falsely Accused - no charges filed !!

I was falsely accused of sexual assault and was devastated at the possibility of a life-changing outcome. Mallory Hughes and her team responded to my situation very strategically with a high degree of professionalism and provided me with excellent guidance and advice. They were able to instill confid...ence during a very difficult time for my family and I and thankfully I was able to realize the best possible outcome with no charges being filed.

Professional and Reliable!

Ms. Hughes was a fantastic advocate to have on my side in a stressful time for my family. She was professional, reliable and matter of fact. She was able to guide me through an unexpected situation and partnering with her eased my anxiety. I appreciated her and her expertise very much.

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!

Undeniably the best!

Mallory Hughes is undeniably the best! Mallory is straightforward, compassionate, knowledgeable, and the person you need representing you if you have been charged with a sex crime. When I first met Mallory, she told me that no one would work harder on my case than she would. Already having hired othe...r representation that I was not happy with, Mallory joined the fight. Time and time again, Mallory proved that she was the hardest worker in the room! Mallory took my case, and from the very start, she made it feel as though she was talking my case personally. I was facing 50+ years in prison in two different cases. Mallory was able to win one case by jury trial, and settle for a simple misdemeanor with the sentence of a monetary fine in the second case. During all stages of my cases, Mallory was a beast. She constantly made the prosecution, witnesses, and the experts against me look silly. Mallory has the contacts, the drive, the desire, and the proven record that you need!

Ms. Hughes

Ms. Hughes provided valuable consultation, advice, guidance and support. She guided me through a very difficult conflict and accusation time in my life that challenged my reputation and wellbeing. Her responsiveness and attention to the criticality and misinterpretation of the circumstances and con...stant support were invaluable. Ms. Hughes' attention to detail and knowledge of the law is extensive and impressive. She was always one step ahead of what's needed and enabled me to fight and defeat very distressing unfounded accusations and help me through this very difficult time. She is credit to her profession.

  • 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.
