Posted by Patrick | August 21, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Car Accidents

Great guy to have on your side

Let me preface this by saying that this is the first time that I had ever needed an attorney so I have nothing to compare it to so therefore the 4 star rating. This should in no means reflect Mr. Hughes's knowledge, skills, or talents in any way. My dealings with Mr. Hughes went very well. He was v...ery understanding of my situation and helped me through a very difficult time in my life after the fall out from my car accident. Would I hire Mr. Hughes again? In a heartbeat. The only suggestion I would offer to anyone who is getting ready to litigate is to keep accurate documents and files. Because I did this this, we both received a better outcome.

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.
