A talented and experienced trial attorney, Mr. Hughes opened his own law firm at the age of 27 to guarantee that his clients received the highest standard of compassion and dedication to their case.
Mr. Hughes knew he wanted to be an attorney when he was 12 years old, and he devoted his entire academic life pursuing this career. He won the award for best-distinguished speaker in his senior class at Bishop Verot High School. He served as President of the Debate Team at the University of Central Florida for four years and has traveled nationally as the Mock Trial Lead Witness, competing against Ivy League teams.
In Law School, Ryan was appointed Editor in Chief of the prestigious Law Review and ranked in the top 5% of his class. Mr. Hughes started his legal career litigating public record violations against government entities and sheriff offices in every county in Florida.
While it was rewarding to advocate for those denied public records, Ryan's true passion is to help people who have been injured in serious incidents. Ryan has received guidance from his father, the former Director of Trauma Surgery at Lee Memorial Hospital, and his mother, Director of Horticulture at the Thomas Edison and Henry Ford Winter Estates.
Being involved in the medical field his entire life has given Mr. Hughes an understanding of the underlying medical practices in his cases, which ultimately gives his clients an extreme advantage in court.
