Margaret Hughes is a shining light in the legal realm of attorneys.

I would highly recommend Margaret Hughes. She exemplifies the meaning of a hard working, honest, ethical, and knowledgeable attorney. Margaret has a heart of gold, and will fight for you when other attorneys will turn their backs. Her work ethic is second to none and you can depend on her legal skil...ls, perseverance and tenacity to win your case. Margaret will represent your best interests, she is someone you want on your side.

Margaret "Peggy" Hughes

Peggy did an oustanding josb representing me in my labor suit. Her attention to detail and organizational skills are outstanding. If I should have any future legal needs I will definitely use Peggy.

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.
