Kirsten expertly guided me through seven challenging years of a complex separation, marked by one party’s shifting circumstances and frequent misrepresentation of facts. With keen insight and unwavering focus, she cut through the noise, addressed critical gaps in information, and maintained clarity amidst distorted narratives. Her ability to remain laser-focused on my goals was truly exceptional.
Kirsten’s resolution-oriented approach is both innovative and thorough. She consistently asserted a strong, well-informed position to ensure each proposal was realistic and aligned with achieving the best possible outcome. Savvy, personable, and deeply attuned to her clients’ needs, Kirsten delivers tailored strategies that get results. I highly recommend Kirsten and her team for their expertise, professionalism, and exceptional efficiency.

Kirsten Hughes was a fierce advocate for me yet again 4 years after the custody trial she won for me. She is a strategic and intelligent communicator with opposing counsel and she has the ear of the judges in the family court because she is eloquent and doesn't waste time. Kirsten knows how to present a case and the evidence in a way that is focused and comprehensible. She is an amazing professioanl and worth every cent she earned from this client. 10 years of winning for me is a pretty good record.

We obtained her services through a reputable lawyer, also a close relative. I’m imagining he was distracted by the “lipstick on the pig.” She was always more concerned with her appearance than the case at hand. Basically paid an exorbitant amount of money for substandard, bias, negligent representation. Her and the associates did a better job supporting my ex than my children and I. She ended up terminating our relationship 1 week before trial - saying it was too complicated - never received assistance for my two children (9 and 12) even though she is a child advocate?!? This resulted in several hospitalizations and suicide attempts- never a care or consideration, unless it was about Billings and account payments. Unless you have an endless supply of cash and have a will to lose everything- steer clear of this plastic, narsassistic poser. Associates are no better - present well initially, but are money grubbers only serving the entitled. Update - my ex has still not paid child support.

Obviously by the post below Kirsten Hughes is writing her own reviews or you're a personal friend of hers. The reviews don't lie. She's terrible.

Kirsten Hughes is one of the most intelligent, strategic and ethical professionals I have ever worked with. She went way above my expectations in terms of her advocacy for me during a very contentious custody trial. Her law clerk is the best in the family business and if you're smart you will hire her and listen to her. Her track record is amazing and the negative reviews here are likely from people who didn't have good cases to proceed on in the first place and who likely didn't follow the advice offered to them. There is no one who cares more about her clients than Kirsten Hughes.

She wears $1200 stripper stilettos to court and reeks of obnoxious perfume - very unprofessional and causes extreme second-hand embarrassment to others. If you have really deep pockets ($5k/day) then MAYBE she'll take your call and show up in court for you. If not, she sends her homely and lacklustre asst.

Terrible Lawyer. You are better off representing yourself.

READ THE REVIEWS! Kirsten came on recommendation and despite reading the poor reviews on this site we still decided to retain her. OUR MISTAKE. We met with Kirsten & her Assistant, Anna. And just like the previous reviews state they both come off amazing, giving you the impression they're on your side and in your corner fighting for you. But after that first meeting our file was immediately handed over to Anna who in my opinion lacks the "fight" that is required in Family Court. Personally, experienced delays in correspondence not only to us as her clients but also to the other lawyer, phone calls not being returned, made to feel "dumb" with our questions, and not being represented by Kirsten in court. In a nutshell you'll eventually feel that you & your case are not important nor a priority. Do yourself a favour, take all these reviews under strong consideration before hiring her. After 6 months we fired her and retained a much better lawyer that actually listened & worked for us.

Ms. Hughes is very professional and gets the job done.

Ms.Hughes acted on my behalf- she was unprofessional and unethical. She required a lengthy retainer agreement, explicit in its boundaries and rules, and yet did not honor her end in providing a detailed account of the trust (retainer) she was using, every thirty days as agreed upon by her own standard. I was never communicated with about the status of my case, upcoming court hearings and in fact never met her once. She seemed more concerned with obtaining more money than doing her job as my solicitor. Finally, after nine months I received my first invoice indicating I was not only in over-draft, but in order to continue to render her services, I would have to pay $5000/day upfront in order to proceed to the trial she was fully aware of months beforehand. I received this notification two weeks prior to the scheduled trial date. Kirsten seems to care only about the financial gain of her career vs. the social welfare aspect that I would assume is implied in becoming a family court lawyer.

She was my third lawyer and by far the worst along with her assistant. There was no communication, she would always send correspondence really late and at times has lost correspondence that she received from opposing lawyer. You're better off representing yourself than retaining her.

This is the worst lawyer ever! She doesnt do anything, no fight in her what so ever just takes your money and does whatever opposing counsel wants her to do! Get out from her fast before you go broke and get nothing in return!
