![]() As a certified public accountant and an attorney with a long history in family law representation, Lisa Hughes and the firm of Hughes & Sullivan have a promise: They will work tirelessly on behalf of their clients. By having a friendlier type of approach, Hughes hopes to minimize the trauma that often accompanies a legal event. Even the offices are housed in a cozy, rustic Spanish-style hacienda, complete with living rooms. Having a lovely office, a warm and caring staff and dedicated lawyers is important. But it’s not unique. Hughes can name at least a half-dozen law firms meeting that criteria. It’s the team’s credentials that set Hughes & Sullivan far apart from other firms. No other family law firm in Orange County boasts three certified public accountant/attorneys and three lawyers who hold further degrees as masters of taxation. That type of expertise is particularly important in marriage dissolution cases, which almost always require the analysis and allocation of financial assets and cash flows. Additionally, the firm’s attorneys and staff speak several languages. A client whose native tongue is Spanish, Korean, Farsi, Chinese or Cambodian (Khmer), for example, can be confident that a Hughes & Sullivan attorney will understand the nuances of the case and the cultural considerations. Hughes & Sullivan is adding another dimension to the firm – a mediation practice. Clients who choose this method of resolution agree in writing not to litigate. A number of divorcing parties can benefit from the experience and professionalism Hughes & Sullivan exhibits in a mediation environment. Hughes graduated law school with honors and spent several years at a multinational accounting firm before practicing law. But she believes her obligations extend far beyond the practice of law. She currently serves as a Juvenile Justice Commissioner for the County of Orange, and is on the Orangewood Foundation board and the Drug Use is Life Abuse board. THE FEATURED LAWYERS:
