Mrs. Hughes began her legal career as a Securities & Capital Markets transactional attorney with one of the nation’s top-tier energy law firms in New York City. After years of practicing as a corporate attorney, Mrs. Hughes transitioned into working for the Federal Government. As an attorney for the Federal Government, Mrs. Hughes has  experience in civil litigation and dispute resolution. During the span of Mrs. Hughes' legal career, she has also undertaken countless pro bono projects in various areas of the law and has gained valuable experience with each representing role. 

In 2020, Mrs. Hughes established the Law Offices of JL Hughes to provide affordable legal services to under served communities that otherwise would not have access to quality legal representation.
