Mount Pleasant, SC (Law Firm Newswire) August 31, 2019 – Charleston Business Magazine recently honored Nathan Hughey of the Hughey Law Firm with its highest award of distinction for lawyers. The magazine named Hughey as one of the “Legal Elite of the Lowcountry,” reflecting his standing as one of the Palmetto State’s preeminent personal injury lawyers.
The award is particularly meaningful for Hughey because his colleagues in the Lowcountry legal community selected him to receive the honor. It’s all the more meaningful because Hughey’s law partner in the Hughey Law Firm, Stuart Hudson, received the same recognition from his Charleston-area peers last year.
What It Means to be a Legal Elite of the Lowcountry
Fundamentally, being named a “Legal Elite” means earning the respect and admiration of fellow Lowcountry lawyers. Nathan Hughey garnered this distinction by serving clients with complete dedication without once sacrificing his commitment to collegiality and fair dealing with his fellow attorneys. A former President of the Charleston County Bar Association said of Nathan:
“Our local and Statewide Bar would be well served if there were more attorneys whose personal and professional lives exhibited the high standards of practice and ethics as I have come to know to be the hallmark of Mr. Hughey’s life.”
It takes a special lawyer to earn that kind of praise. In selecting Nathan as a Legal Elite of the Lowcountry, Charleston Business Magazine acknowledged that the quote above reflects the opinion of a wide swath of the local legal community.
