Since beginning his practice, Mr. McHugh has represented clients in many types of employment cases including severance negotiations, employment discrimination, wage and hour disputes, and more for both employees and employers. He also has experience in many types of business litigation, construction litigation, traffic infractions, and civil litigation matters. His breadth of experience makes him a compassionate counselor and a fierce advocate in the courtroom.
Colin enjoys traveling in Latin America, playing music in a band, photography, and anything involving the outdoors in the summertime with his partner Em, and his shiba inu, Banks.
