Hughes & Leighton PLLC

The team at Hughes and Leighton is outstanding. They made every phase of our estate planning process easy and we had a great time working with Chris and everyone at the firm. This firm is extremely knowledgeable, strategic, and tailored their products and advice to our specific situation. They were patient with us to do our part, while leading us through the process in a way that led to results. I cannot recommend them more for any person, family, or business.

After interviewing four Alexandria/local estate planning establishments, we chose to work with Chris and his team at Hughes & Leighton to create a long-overdue living will/trust. From the very beginning, the process was educational, collegial, and seamless. After several weeks of questions and back-and-forth discussions, Chris crafted a personalized trust that met our needs to ensure our wishes would be conveyed to our loved-ones and friends. Their knowledge, professionalism and manner were top-notch and the cost very affordable. I highly recommend Hughes and Leighton/Chris for all of your estate planning needs. Also, as fellow veterans ourselves, Chris' military service gave us added piece of mind knowing he would understand our needs.

The Hughes and Leighton team made us feel comfortable, explained the process thoroughly, and addressed all of our questions in a manner that was clear and comprehensive. We highly recommend them.

Although I had a trust in place, I asked Chris Leighton to check it for any updates or changes which might be necessary as it was written many years ago. Chris simplified my documents so that I could better understand what I had, made a few critical changes, and was patient in answering my numerous questions. It was a pleasure working with him and with Brittany.

We are very grateful for the responsiveness of the staff of Hughes and Leighton. You provided us with a comprehensive trust document as well as other important documents. You have come to our home to have them signed and given us prompt answers to our questions.

Chris and his team are the absolute best. They walked me through all the stages and answered all of my 1000 questions. You truly will not find a better firm to assist in all your estate planning needs.

Best Estate Planning Team Ever! We did a lot of research before choosing this firm for our estate planning needs. Further, we interviewed 3 attorneys, which we share so you know how important it has been to our family to have the best help/support available.

Brittany Shelley was a huge help in ensuring that all members of our family had everything we need for the entire family to have transparent views into important issues. We have recommended this team to our best friends with our highest endorsement. Trust this team and you will not be disappointed.
