Lucky to have found her when searching for representation.

Samantha Hughes was our attorney for a child custody matter. Ms. Hughes has all professional and otherwise qualities for legal representation, with class. She came in near the end of our case, spoke with us, read everything catching up quickly and was very prompt with down to earth support and any l...egal inquiries or questions moving forward. We would highly recommend Ms. Hughes. We felt, and were, in good hands during a process no one wants to have to go through. She is intelligent, responsive and efficient and we were very lucky to have found her.

Best divorce attorney!

From our initial consult Samantha always treated me with the utmost care and respect. She returned my calls, emails and texts in a timely manner and prepared documents in the same fashion. At times when I felt anxious or down due to my divorce she gave me hope that it would be alright. She truly had ...my best interest at heart. I would recommend Samantha to anyone who has to go through the divorce process.

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.
