Charles A. March 1, 2021

The best criminal defense lawyer in Philadelphia! I've had the best representation in the city by far when I hired Evan Hughes. I was facing several serious charges and things were looking grim. I really felt like my case was going end in bad terms until I consulted with Mr. Hughes. He gave me insight into how we can get the best results and I must admit I was a little worried. After going to court and seeing Mr. Hughes work through my case, I can't believe that he got the charges dropped down to a single simple misdemeanor!! A lot of lawyers give you good representation. Evan Hughes give you top notch representation! I would definitely recommend that you contact him for any defense you may need. You would be impressed by the fight he puts in for you!!
