Posted by anonymous | September 08, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Speeding citation

Mr. Hughes is an EXCELLENT attorney. He’s professional, attentive and very knowledgeable in his field. He helped me overcome a speeding citation (115 mph+). The case/citation was thrown out and I could not have done it without his help. He is very passionate and willing to go above and beyond for his... clients. I am very glad to have retained his services.

Truck Accident

I was hit by a semi truck on the freeway last month. I reached out to Vincent S. Hughes for help because I was not at fault and the truck driver tried to hit and run. Vincent was so kind to assist me in all ways possible to be sure my case was taken care of the right way. I definitely felt relieved o...nce he said he would help me. Vincent is the most professional lawyer I've ever dealt with and he's a great listener! I trust him to handle my case and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a great lawyer. I immediately could tell he cares about people in general because he asked if I was alright and he prayed for me. Good people still exist in this world, Vincent S. Hughes is one of them! Thank you for helping me and taking my 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.
