Arelis Hughes

I would completely recommend Mrs. Hughes as a family attorney. I originally had gone with a prorated lawyer thru my company and I had to end up firing him. He treated me like as if I was just a burden and wouldn't fight for me in and out of court. He just wanted to settle with my ex spouse even thoug...h my ex spouse had recurring substance abuse issues. After my fourth time in court I knew I had to find another lawyer. I made an appointment with Mrs. Hughes and from the very start I really felt that she would fight for me and my child and that I wasn't just going to be another case to her. She really cared. She showed a lot of passion and she was my voice in court. I really needed somebody who understood my case and she took the time to understand. She went far and beyond for my case. If I had not gone with Mrs. Hughes I would have ended up paying a lot of attorney fees for recurring court appointments and would have ended up having to settle for something that was less than what I wanted. With the help of Mrs. Hughes I ended up being able to get full sole and physical custody. And not having to pay any spousal support. -Client

I will always turn to Arelis for my family law matters. My ex prevented my children from flying to my home overseas to see me during my custody periods. Arelis quickly and efficiently obtained court orders that enabled my children to fly to see me and prevented my ex from further interfering wi...th my custody. Thereafter, Arelis expertly represented me in complex modification litigation with my ex and brought those proceedings to a conclusion as expediently and favorably as was possible. In representing me, Arelis consistently displayed a remarkable ability to take complicated facts and present them effectively and simply to an overworked court that could not take the time to evaluate or grant the relief that I sought. This is a rare ability that few attorneys have. Arelis also has a deep and highly nuanced knowledge of substantive family law that greatly helped me. I am an attorney. I also have a lot of experience using family law attorneys, as my divorce lasted 5+ years and I had to use 5 different attorneys during this difficult process. Arelis consistently gave me solid, pragmatic advice and was the most effective litigator with whom I worked.
