Posted by Ashley | October 19, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Family Law Case

It was the best decision I made having Mr. Hughes represent me. I had a moving out of state case. The father of my child has been very inconsistent throughout our child’s life and I have always battled the courts on my own. The moment we discussed my case during my consultation I knew he was the righ...t choice. He was very thorough and assured me he will be there to answer any questions I have throughout my case. He is a very busy man, but I he is a man of his word! He will always get back to you. The judge granted my move away. Thank you Mr. Hughes for your help in my case. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, hard working, and reliable attorney.

Attorney Hughes went above and beyond to fight for me in court, ultimately proving that the traffic ticket was unjust. Thanks to his exceptional skills and dedication, my case was d...ismissed. I cannot express enough how highly I recommend Atty. Hughes to everyone in need of legal representation. His fantastic job and unwavering commitment to his clients make him the go-to attorney for any legal matter.

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.
