Hughes, who served with distinction as an attorney in the U.S. Army JAG Corps in the Dachau War Crimes Trials in Germany following WWII, in Korea and in Army posts throughout the United States. Pat Hughes graduated with honors from Anniston High School and attended college at the University of Alabama, where he was an officer of his fraternity and was selected as a member of Phi Alpha Theta History Honorary Fraternity. Upon graduation in 1975, he was admitted to the University of Alabama School of Law where he received his law degree in 1978. At that time, Mr. Hughes returned to Anniston to begin his practice as a small-town attorney. Pat Hughes is a premier plaintiff's attorney with a tradition of success.

Mr. Hughes is an avid golfer, having won the Sunny King Golf Tournament and other golf tournaments. He loves to garden, likes the arts and enjoys spending time with his wife Sally and their four dogs.
