Chico's Best Lawyer

I hired Mr. McHugh in November of 2017 and it was the best decision I made for my child custody case. My custody case is a nightmare. Through Mr. McHugh and my own hard work, we slowly but surely have gained ground. Mr. McHugh is honest and up-front about how to handle the twist and turns of family... law cases. From what I have gathered over the year, Mr. McHugh is well respected by fellow lawyers and more importantly by judges.

Dave with neighbor dispute

Very blessed to have had Mr. McHugh deal with my case. He took the concerns we had with our families to heart and didn't let the other lawyer twist things around. He did his homework with what evidence we had. He stood by myside and the other people that were involved also and we got what we got our ...restraining orders. With his help everything went smoothly and expeditiously as it could. We appreciate him and his firm and would recommend him to anyone that needs a good attorney. He is very trustworthy and knowledgeable. Thank you David

Trustworthy and Knowledgeable

I have worked in the legal field in Butte and Glenn Counties for more than 8 years. I had the pleasure of working for Mr. McHugh as his legal secretary for more than three years and he also represented me though a very difficult personal family law matter. I highly recommend Mr. McHugh for legal a...dvice and representation in Family Law matters as well as Criminal, Probate, Personal Injury and Civil Matters. His proven reputation for being professional, ethical, and an intelligent confident litigator, is recognized and well respected by the Butte County Court, Judges and fellow attorneys. From initial consultations to court dates, Mr McHugh and staff go above and beyond to keep clients well informed, they are always professional, positive, supportive and well prepared for the multiple complex and difficult court hearings and trial. Mr. McHugh's attention to detail and knowledge is outstanding, he provides solid legal arguments with positive results and his fees are extremely fair for the amount of hours and work he and his staff provide. I feel fortunate and thankful to have had Mr. McHugh not only as a boss and mentor but also represent me legally through a very complex, difficult, and challenging case, that resulted in positive resolution and closure.
