About Stephen Matthew John

Hugues built his practice around a small office structure. He is the principal of the LAW OFFICES OF STEPHEN MJ HUGUES ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELORS OF LAW.

He meets with clients directly and handles filings, pleadings, and court appearances associated with their matters. He maintains responsibility for client relationships and the strategic decisions made in each case. Colleagues and court filings identify him by the firm name he uses in correspondence and on documents.
Today Hugues continues to operate from the LAW OFFICES OF STEPHEN MJ HUGUES ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELORS OF LAW and remains active in the New York legal community. He balances the responsibilities of practice management with client work. The office serves as the primary point of contact for prospective and existing clients. His current practice focuses on providing legal counsel and representation to clients through his firm in New York.
