I was wrongfully accused of a crime that could have cost me ten years or more of my life. My family hired Evan Hughes as my Defense attorney. We couldn't have made a better choice. Evan fought by my side for four years and remained confident each time we stepped into the court room. He is a very tenacious lawyer and has deep commitment to justice. I could have, and with out Mr. Hughes would have become a felon. To put your life in someone else's hands is terrifying, so when choosing a lawyer you need to pick someone you can trust. From experience, I am telling you Evan is someone to trust. All of my charges have been dropped and I am am completely exonerated. My family and I are beyond satisfied with the services that was provided and I highly recommend Evan for an attorney.

Writing this review just days after I was found not guilty!! A week long JURY TRIAL. Mr. Hughes delivered as guaranteed. His performance was exceptional, extraordinary even. If you value your freedom & well being in the court of law, Evan Hughes should be your attorney. I read a few other reviews, but I can only speak for myself; we had regularly scheduled meetings, inquired about my opinion and counseled me on almost every decision pertaining to my case. NOT GUILTY!!

I hired Evan Hughes, after losing thousands of dollars with other lawyers just taking my families money. What I appreciated most about Evan, was that he was very honest and very clear about what he could and could not do for my brothers unique situation. He stayed in communication, He made sure to make every deadline, and he got the job done!!! Thank you Evan, you are truly an amazing person!
Great lawyer did a great job for my father! Keep doing you man!

Hello Evan. I promised you I would not forget about you. This review will be strictly based on facts since Evan threatens to sue those that write bad reviews and or expose their case information. That is a factual statement.
I, sadly, hired Evan for an extremely serious case a while ago and the day after I paid my retainer he became a ghost. As a result of his negligence, critical time passed between the initial reporting and the charge due to a lack of movement on our part for a case that lasted several years and cost north of high 6-figures.
My contention with Evan is not in the charge itself that is something no one can control, my problem lies in his lack of professionalism, preying on the desperation of others by saying all the right things (he is a great salesman) and setting unrealistic expectations that were implausible or downright false. I implore you if you find yourself needing a defense attorney, to interview several people and the contrast will become glaring.
I acted out of desperation and impulse because he happened to be the first one to meet with me. It was a bad move on my part, and I paid for in more ways than one. If you value your life or freedom stay clear of this door to door salesman passing as an attorney.
At this point, it is all behind me, but my desire to help others before they make the same mistake I did is only just beginning.
Evan, I didn't forget about you, and treating people like a quick buck has its consequences. I wish I can write it in big red letters. Seek legal counsel elsewhere! In meantime Evan, I promised you would hear from me again and you will.
BTW. If I were you, I would take the bad review on chin. Trust me, it will be much more beneficial to you than if you decide to get on here and say "my memory is fuzzy" or "I am inaccurate" I am sure you would hate for me to post your email to me and text. That WOULD not be good for business. So, take it on the chin.

I believe that Evan Hughes is a very good to excellent lawyer fighting the good fight in a corrupt judicial system. I interviewed over 50 lawyers before I chose him and felt he was the best. For the record, we lost twice in summary trials carrying momentous consequences for me in Luzerne County , which is a geographical tale of county legal corruption unto itself. Research corruption in Luzerne County, the county that according some say was pivotal in electing Donald Trump. It was not his fault that we lost; we faced corrupt judges who had predetermined decisions and ignored all evidence, injury photographs of assaults, hospital record of assault, and stories by the perps that were obvious perjury heaped on perjury. Their stories changed with each appearance and witness. Evan did his best and presented a ferocious defense that the Founding Fathers would have been proud of. Our great lesson in the form of a caveat is this: If we the people do not fight for court and judge reform, including the televising of all trials, yielding a forum for public accountability then what happened to me...a 58 year-old disabled white woman with a PHD who was trying to save her daughter's life at Lehigh Valley Hospital Hazleton --- then believe me, it can happen to you, even if you choose the best lawyer, as I did. What happened to me demolished American justice, but it was a triumph of American fascism. Listen hard. Take action. Become an activist. Or we will reap a charred and defiled harvest in this Great American experiment of democracy.

I wish I would've did better research on this attorney, I've never had a defense attorney make me feel like I hired the opposition, by hiring him to work against me rather then for me. I thought there where laws to protect you from this happening. The worst defense effort I've witnessed by a paid lawyer to date. If you care about your well being or friends /families freedom, I suggest you find an attorney who cares more about his or her practice in defending, rather then what they can profit from being allowed to have a license to practice as a defense lawyer. I almost feel like I'm being prosecuted by a defense attorney I hired to defend me. I'm working with the bar association and another Law firm now, Hopefully I can seek compensation. This is unethical, and it should be punishable by law. Being persecuted by a hired defense attorney shouldn't never happen or be allowed in court. How does a case make it to trial based off hear say and circumstantial evidence. One reason is hiring a defense lawyer who's not fighting your case, continues once a month for a year without your permission!, to help prosecution and doesn't make or file one motion in your defense. What bar association did he get his license from? This is ridiculous.

This Lawyer made me wire him $5000 and he did nothing but send a fax to a judge. It ended up being the wrong document. He then disappeared, not answering anyone's calls. He completely scammed us. He will promise the world and deliver nothing. I wouldn't use this attorney for a parking ticket.

Do NOT! I repeat DO NOT use Evan Hughes as your lawyer. He only showed up to 2 of my court dates, BOTH times he was late. After the 2nd court date he stopped showing up and sent his assistant. He wont answer your phone calls, texts, or emails. You will not be important to him. He only cares about your money. Hiring Evan just made the worst moment of my life much worse. Avoid this crock at all costs.

Prosecutors love to intimidate and railroad people who are in a difficult situation, some due to no fault of their own. Mr. Evan Hughes handled my family member's case professionally, and was truly a rock star. A lot was at stake, and my family member's record is blemish free!
Do not go into a courtroom with an inexperienced attorney, or one who does not have the staff to step in when schedules conflict.

When we are in a bad way and suddenly are facing the might of the justice system...it is humbling and horrible. It's easy to feel alone and like the end is near. Evan and Arianna have been some of the most remarkable people - people that have become a friends. Their deep commitment to justice, their ability to really HEAR what happened and their mastery of the court room makes them my go to ... pretty much for everything.
Evan and his team have the relationships, the skill and the tenacity to create a legal plan that is quick(as quick as is possible!) and allowed me and my family to continue to work etc.
I can not recommend him more highly- he is a good person, an honest man and a true believer that justice is meant for all of us; not just the rich and powerful.

I had a serious case in 2014 that worried me a lot, I met a couple of lawyers, their prospectives about my case were uncertain. When I reached out to Mr Evan Hughes, I stopped looking right away. He is very professional, very nice and top notch in his profession. As for my court date, I have never seen a preliminary trial ended so quickly. Mr Evans would lawfully shutdown the other party every time they were addressing to the judge, they barely made it to five words at once; I am not even exaggerating. The judge even had to apologize to Mr Evans for their misstatements and corrected them for their lack of knowledge about the twist of the law in question. Mr Evans rocked the entire court room like a superstar from police officers to judge. My case was dismissed right away. Hiring Mr Hughes worth every penny; I was so happy that I chose him.

I can not say enough about how pleased my family has been with Evan Hughes' service! Evan is responsive, timely, effective, committed and works with the highest level of integrity! He has represented a handful of my relatives and the outcome has been favorable every time. I have a no doubt in my mind that when he represents me in March, the end result will be favorable as well. No matter how big or small, he gets the job done with a personal touch!

My husband and I hired Evan Hughes for his defense and we were very pleased with the outcome we received from Mr. Hughes. Mr Hughes kept us informed and updated with the case and done whatever needed to do to get the outcome we all wanted. Our hats goes off to Evan Hughes and his team for everything he assisted with. If every needed, we would definitely hire Evan Hughes again for our defense.

I was falsely arrested and beaten by Philadelphia Police in what was one of the highest profile cases of 2012. Attorney Evan Hughes was my lead trial attorney and represented me both in the criminal and civil cases. Due to his excellent representation I was exonerated on all charges and was then able to successfully sue the city to recover damages. I highly recommend this attorney!
