the best team in Sacramento

Hughes Law group recently helped me complete a highly contentious divorce. I was recommended to the firm by someone with a great deal of experience in family law, and I could not have made a better choice than to hire Marc and Melanie. After taking the time to learn my needs, they determined an appro...priate path for my case, set clear expectations, communicated with me through the entire process, and ultimately landed a fair CCRC and judgment which was precisely what I sought.

CONSULT A DIFFERENT FIRM

Unbelievably bad experience. Mr. Hughes was a referral from a long time well respected friend who also practices law. When I initially met Mr. Hughes I was impressed, Very likable , intelligent classy guy, however that doesn't get the job done and his firm certainly dropped the ball. Multiple we...eks would go by without any contact or updates. Finally I heard back when they quickly exhausted the initial retainer. During the divorce proceedings the opposing Council is supposed to file a response to the petitioner, during our business relationship which was only about 2 months their firm never filed a response to the court. Without getting too deep into details their incompetence has cost me money but also damaged some extremely important relationships! I think this firm has forgotten they are supposed to be fighting for people's lives. I have finally found someone who I believe in completely, however there is some damage that can't be undone! I never thought about how important the "right attorney " is, it can and will change your life! This firm is only interested in making a buck and have no feelings or genuine aspirations of looking out for their clients best interests

Not Recommened

What ever you do DO NOT hire Hughes Law Group. I had a super simple divorce - no child custody issues - no real estate - all we had were credit cards and personal property. It took 2 years and $12,000 to complete my divorce. Every time I talked to Marc I had to refresh his memory on my case. I ha...d to constantly call his office for updates. He did not stand up for me. I lost personal sentimental items because Marc did not word the agreement correctly. I WOULD NOT REFER HIM TO ANYONE!

Not recommended!

If you're a single parent paying bills and this lawyer, you will regret it! He dropped me before trial because I could not give him enough in advance. You'll be spending at least $25,000 before you even get a chance to win.

Thank you Hughes Law Group!

I am in the third year of a complicated divorce involving domestic violence and many other issues. Hughes Law Group has been responsive, knowledgeable, and ethical, and they have been extremely effective in ensuring my children’s safety and well-being. I am so thankful for their representation an...d would recommend them without hesitation.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Marc is a good attorney to work with as opposing counsel on a matter. Though our clients did not always agree, he sought reasonable resolution and was able to help craft a mutually satisfactory agreement which saved both of our clients the time, stress, and expense of a trial. I hope to have him as opposing counsel on a matter in the near future."
