Jennifer L. Hughes is an amazing attorney to work with!!

Jennifer is absolutely an outstanding attorney that is so easy to work with! When I called her for a consultation regarding my Estate planning she was very knowledgeable and comforting for a subject that wasn’t easy for me. I went to call a 2nd attorney for a consultation (as we do for comparison) ...and it just didn’t feel right so I never did. I am so very happy with Jennifer and my choice to retain her as she was incredibly helpful, thoughtful, thorough and fast. She finished my planning in an incredibly timely manner and I was very impressed! I highly recommend Jennifer for your Estate planning needs. You can not go wrong working with her! Thank you Jennifer!

Highly recommend

I needed to find a lawyer to help me with settling a trust, and also to set up a new trust. A friend of mine recommended Jennifer Hughes to me, he had hired her for estate and trust planning also. I couldn't have been happier with Jennifer's ability and the way she took care of the entire process; ...she responded to my emails in a timely fashion, she answered all my questions (which were many) no matter how trivial they may have seemed, she made herself available to discuss and explain things to me, and she always kept me informed each step of the way. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who might be looking for a lawyer, the information she provided me with helped me make the best decisions on a topic I didn't know much, or really anything, about. And, she was a pleasure to work with.

Excellent and Conscientious Attorney

I consulted with Jennifer Hughes on an elder abuse case and also ended up working alongside her. She is conscientious and diligent in the way she advocates. She is caring and spends the extra time to make sure that she uses all of the strongest arguments for her client's case. She does not skip a bea...t. I would definitely recommend her.

Jennifer Hughes Trust

My wife and I came to Jennifer for living trust to ensure our family is protected and taken care of in case of an emergency. She was very helpful with giving us guidance and advice. She was not pushy or trying to get a client. She actually wanted to give us the information so we could make our own e...ducated decision. We of course decided to use her services and we are happy we did. Jennifer is always prompt and answering any questions we have. I highly recommend Jennifer Hughes.

Marilyn Reed review of Jennifer Hughes

I liked working with Jennifer Hughes. I found her services to be very good. When I saw her, I had just lost my mother and was going through physical challenges with cancer and cataracts she was very patient with me and ultimately deferred to Martin Reed who became my conservator. He is an attorne...y and understood the legalities. He had no trouble getting her to answer questions or stay in communication with us. She is prompt and thorough. She also helped us get another attorney to work with my sister. We were happy with her services. I have given her name to friends who are seeking help getting estate matters settled.

"Ms. Hughes and I met about four years ago. Since that time I have had the pleasure of gleaning knowledge from her about so many things, and in more areas than just estate planning or law. She is incredibly knowledgeable and generous. She applies her knowledge in a very measured and careful approach. I would trust her decisions and counseling in any matter I presented to her. I endorse Ms Hughes."

  • 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.
