At the Law Office of Richard L. Hughes PLLC, excellence isn’t just an idea, it is the result of a professional background uniquely qualified to serve the client well. This arsenal of experience includes being a former partner in a 103 year old civil litigation firm where he handled hundreds of cases, a tenured college legal professor for 4 years, and General Counsel to a regional utility for 10 years.  Add to that experience as an arbitrator for several Superior Courts, the American Arbitration Association, and the National Association of Securities Dealers; an elected city council person; President of two local non-profit corporations; and author of several legal publications.
