Hughes & Jackson, LLP - Riverside, CA
Premier Divorce and Family Law Lawyers Serving Riverside County and the Coachella Valley
Hughes and Jackson, LLP is a dedicated family law firm formed on January 1, 2026, when Hughes and Hughes, established in 1979, merged with the Law Office of James A. Jackson. Operating from 74130 Country Club Drive, Suite 105 in Palm Desert, the firm represents individuals, parents, executives, and business owners throughout Riverside County and the Coachella Valley. With more than 80 years of combined legal practice in California courts and over 12,000 family law matters handled, the attorneys provide focused legal representation exclusively in marital dissolution and domestic relations.
Clients who need to hire a lawyer for a major family transition benefit from a team combining courtroom advocacy with advanced financial analysis, backed by direct familiarity with the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside, including the Larson Justice Center in Indio and the Riverside Family Law Court.
Dual Credentials in Family Law and Forensic Accounting
A defining advantage for clients who find an attorney at Hughes and Jackson, LLP is the firm's in-house accounting capability. Founding Partner Lisa Hughes, CFLS, CPA, is one of only five attorneys in California holding active dual credentials as both a Certified Family Law Specialist—certified by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization—and a Certified Public Accountant. Over nearly five decades, she has handled more than 30 marital estates exceeding $100 million, including six over $1 billion, and is admitted to the United States Supreme Court and United States Tax Court.
Partner James A. Jackson, a Coachella Valley native and Navy veteran with nearly four decades of courtroom experience, brings deep trial skill in property division and military divorce. Alongside Certified Family Law Specialist Ira E. Liss, CFLS, Associate Attorney Isaac Juarez, and experienced paralegals, the firm audits ledgers, traces separate property, and challenges accounting discrepancies in negotiations and trial.
