Out of her normal expertise.

Jennifer and I met at a Dinner Party and she helped me with an eviction/debt on my rental history. It was easy and pain free. She resolved the issue quickly and was a pleasure to work with! I think she worked with me because I was out of her normal area of practice (trust/probate/wills) and it was su...ch a small issue.

"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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
