Hughes Law, PLLC – Billings, MT

A Montana Native Fighting for Montanans

Hughes Law, PLLC is a boutique law firm in Billings dedicated to helping individuals recover from life-altering injuries. The firm was founded in 2010 by Jacquelyn M. Hughes, a born-and-raised Montanan who brings a deep passion for her community to her legal practice. After graduating from the University of Montana School of Law and gaining valuable experience defending large corporations and insurance companies, Ms. Hughes switched sides to advocate for the injured. This background gives her a unique strategic advantage: she knows exactly how insurance defense teams operate and how to dismantle their arguments. Hughes Law is built on the philosophy that understanding the law allows for creative solutions where traditional methods fail. The firm provides a personalized, supportive environment where clients are treated as neighbors, not case numbers.

Specialized Expertise in Railroad and Injury Law

Additionally, the firm is fearless in taking on complex medical negligence cases, an area many other firms avoid due to difficulty and cost. Ms. Hughes’s personal experience with a family car accident drives her empathetic approach; she understands the physical pain and financial stress her clients face and works tirelessly to secure the compensation they need to heal.
