Excellent Attorney

I can say with confidence that my experience with Atty. Samantha Hughes has been outstanding. My divorce case was incredibly complex and difficult to get through. Mrs. Hughes helped me to make the most of a very tough situation and helped me through every challenging moment. She was very attentive an...d responded quickly to all of my questions and concerns. She was able to calm and reassured me when things got rough. My divorce was protracted and draining. I did go through two previous attorneys that I let go over my frustration with their inattentiveness and propensity to bring even more conflict to, what was already, a high conflict situation. Mrs. Hughes was able step in and reduce the amount of conflict and reduce the amount of time and expense associated with time in court. Trust was the number one factor for me when I was looking for an attorney. I was hoping to find someone I could trust to represent my interest and I could not be happier with service and attention I received. So, if you’re looking for an experienced professional that you can trust to represent you when the stakes are very high, you should consider Samantha Hughes.

Dedicated, Experienced and Compassionate

I was fortunate enough to be able to work with Samantha during what I can only call a tragic divorce for the entire family. Samantha handled our case with the careful care that it needed and skillfully created enough momentum to help us structure and attain a custody agreement without having to go t...o court. I will always be extremely grateful for her dedication, she was consistently responsive, followed through with what she said she would do and kept on top of a large amount of discovery work in an organized manner. Samantha is as bright as they come, her strong work ethic matches her character and she is not intimidated by less graceful personalities. When you are in the midst of watching your family fall apart, keeping your family from going bankrupt through the process can seem impossible. Samantha said she bills as she would want to be treated, there were never surprise fees or any question of over billing, and her rate is considerably lower than what she could, maybe should, be commanding. I admire, respect and will be forever thankful for Samantha, Our family is in a better place because of her.
