This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very Knowledgeable and caring

I had to hire Mr. Hughes to represent me because my previous Attorney (I will not put his name bc he is also in Friendswood) dropped the ball and folded in Court when he never should’ve. Mr. Hughes was able to get certain Orders modified. He is not scared to go up against ‘bully’ Attorneys, especiall...y the ones who think they’re smarter than everyone else. His Certified Paralegal is very kind and will treat you with the respect you deserve. She is extremely diligent about checking her email and will reply quickly or when she figures out the answer to your question. I don’t want to put my name on here because I have some privacy concerns due to my ex-spouse being extremely violent. I hope I never need an attorney again, but if I do, I will use Mr. Hughes.

Very Impressed by his knowledge.

I was very scared going into all this child custody matter with my children's father. Fortunately, he ask if I had any text, pictures or any other proof I had on him (my ex) and of course, I did. It was the easiest legal process I've ever been through. His staff is amazing, One of the women in pa...rticular takes her time to comfort you just if you are having a rough day. I can tell she's busy or I might hear someone else saying if she needs to talk about these things, she needs to come in, but this woman does it for me anyway. She has helped me so much and you know you have hired a great attorney when the staff cares about your well-being...I know her name, but I don't want to put it on here. I won my case and will only use Mr. Hughes from this point forward, He is so kind, but doesn't hold back in the Courtroom. It's amazing to watch....thank you Greg Hughes for helping me get my life in order and for making me feel like I am capable of anything.

Amazing Attorney!

I have hired Mr. Hughes 4 times now! Not only does he know the law better than most attorneys I've spoken with, he is amazing in Court. I know the term 'bedside manner' is normally used when speaking of M.D.'s, but Mr. Hughes does indeed have great bedside manner. He made sure I felt safe; told me... to stop worrying and let him do that for me because that is his job, not mine. If he tells you that you need to do something in your case, I would suggest listening to him bc if I wouldn't have listened, I would've lost my children during my divorce. All four matters, I hired him on, I got exactly what I hoped for. All I can say is, I highly recommend him for everyone.

Divorce

After $30,000 and 2 1/2 years he had done nothing!! Terrible with communication!! Not knowledgeable on how to proceed with a divorce!! He's all about extending case... he gets more money!! Had to ask him several times to take care of certain things for me...can't depend on him to follow through!!...!

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.
