Review

Mr Vincent Hughes, took care of my case very aptly and ensured that I do not have to face any jail time. He was very supportive as I was not very cooperative with him at the starting of the case. He is a wonderful human being with lot of patience and guided me what was best for resolving my case and ...getting a minor conviction which should ideally not impact my immigration application . He was kind enough not to charge me for my second case which was violation of a court order. Both the cases were resolved in one single day . He is very responsive on email and phone .

Skilled and Professional Attorney

I have personally known Attorney Hughes for many years in his professional and personal capacity. He is a former colleague who was very skilled in many areas including civil, family, and criminal matters. So when I came into my own case, I immediately consulted Mr. Hughes because he is very thorough ...and works quickly and efficiently. Most importantly, he always follows through. He is highly recommended by myself as well as many other attorneys at my firm. Great attorney.

Very professional and with Integrity.

I would like to thank Mr. Vincent Scott Hughes who stepped up to help in my son’s criminal case while his Mentor Attorney Ronald Freeman was out ill. They both worked so hard on my son’s case, it first started as a felony then it was brought down to a misdemeanor with therapy and work release. They ...believed in second chances for there client. My son did make a big mistake and has learned from it. He is forever grateful for all the team who believed in him. Mr. Hughes is very much recommended to help you if your looking for a criminal attorney/ DUI and DWI/car accident. Highly recommended.

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.
