Fantastic Lawyer

I hired David Hughey to represent me during my divorce in 2018, and was very happy with the work he, and his office performed. From the very beginning I was impressed by the friendliness of him and his staff, their professionalism, and the attention he paid to my case. He made a difficult situati...on as easy as you could hope for, was prompt in his responses to my questions and situations that arose, and provided advise that was always in my best interest in the long run. I wouldn't hesitate to hire David in the future for any legal needs I may have.

Divorce Advice

Mr. Hughey took his valuable time, on a Monday, to speak with me about possible solutions for my very contentious and ongoing divorce. He did not charge me for his time, but offered his very pertinent advice freely. It is the first time I have seen an attorney offer anything without expecting payment.... He just decided to offer a bit of legal counsel because he could see I was in need. I think this speaks to his character.

Capable, Persistent, Honest

My ex left the country without dividing court-ordered assets. Dave worked persistently to help me find my overseas ex, and negotiate a settlement. Dave's fees were always fair, and he was generous with his time. I recommend him highly.

Satisfied Client

I met David Hughey when I hired his wife to draw up wills for my husband and me. I was impressed by the friendliness of his office and his wife's knowledge. I recommended him to a close relative of mine getting a divorce. Mr. Hughey did a great job representing her, and my relative was very pleased.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Hughey is a fabulous family law attorney. He and I represented opposing parties in a divorce several years ago. David doesn't fight just for the sake of fighting, but if negotiation fails, he will roll his sleeves up and go to battle. If you live in Collin or Dallas County, give this attorney a call for your family law case."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
