Not only was this company super responsive and supportive, they gave me the results of my court case within a few hours. I could not have found a better Law office to go with!

Oh yea, she good. I'd hire her, Paula Hough, again

The staff keep you informed of your case with calls and emails.

I first heard of Gregory from a letter I got in the mail. I consulted him about my case and what he thought my possible options were. He made it really clear what the costs were and what tasks I had to do before my case. My case was a reckless driving which he said that he could dismiss. I followed his instructions on what I had to do and that was exactly what happened. I am extremely happy with the outcome and the way we conducted business. I would definitely recommend him again!

I was recently cited by a Virginia State Trooper for, well, lets just say I knew I needed effective representation. What I received from this firm was not only effective, but also positive, confident and encouraging throughout. Paula and her assistant Courtney did a fantastic job and delivered for me the best possible outcome. Five stars all the way.

She returned all phones. I met with her a couple time and very pleased with outcome. Highly recommended!!!

Paula Bernstein Hough took over representing my boyfriends case due to his original lawyer being activated with the military. Although changing attorneys was a bit unnerving initially, it ended up being an absolute blessing in disguise. Paula worked tirelessly to put forth every effort she could in building a solid defense for him. She answered every one of my calls and responded to every email. She is a straight shooter and will not tell you what you want to hear but will work endlessly to get you the results that you want. To say that I was proud to have her as his representation and utterly thrilled at her absolute professionalism and her performance during his court hearing, would be an understatement. She owned the courtroom. Paula has a fire in her that I didn’t see from any other lawyer in the courtroom. She fought long days and nights building a strong case and was unparalleled in court. Not only did she get phenomenal results, she got better results than our best case scenario. I absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and hire this lawyer, you’ll be thankful that you did. For a case that was looking at 18-24 months, I was able to bring my boyfriend back home the same day as his court hearing. Paula, you are one of a kind. Thank you for your patience, your tenacity, your absolute resolve to represent him to the very best of your ability. Every one of us should have a Paula fighting in our corner.

This review is to highlight who I believe is one of best criminal defense lawyers in Virginia. After having the criminal defense lawyer I hired be deployed to serve our country as a JAG Officer he handed off his case files to Paula Bernstein Hough on very short notice. I was very skeptical at first being that I was only one week away from court. However, looking back I see that he handed the cases off to the absolute best choice. As someone who has had 20 years of experience in the Federal and State criminal justice system I have seen all types of lawyers, some good, some bad and some great. I would easily put Paula as one of the best. To bring perspective to that statement I have been represented by the same lawyers as the Governor of Connecticut and the Kennedy Cousin Michael Skakel to name just a few.
Facing sentencing guidelines that called for a period of incarceration of 18-24 months for my first violation I knew that my entire case was going to come down to my lawyer digging deep into my whole story not just the small window that my violation portrayed. Paula spent countless days and NIGHTS working on my case. She was diligent in tracking down all of the relevant information needed to present me with the absolute best defense. Having been through three jury trials in my life I would say that she put as much effort into this revocation hearing as some lawyers put into prep for a jury trial. I saw her no less than three times at the jail, I know that she had several lengthy conversations with the Commonwealth Attorney and answered her phone personally EVERY time I called.
On my hearing date there were 39 cases on the docket. Many of which were about 5-10 minutes in length. My case was second to last and lasted a record 30 minutes. Paula called witnesses, submitted 58 pages of evidence and presented one of the best defenses I have ever had in a courtroom. Of the 39 cases called that day I was one of two with the worst-case scenario calling for a lengthy jail sentence. The other guy received the full two years and I was sentenced to 2 months in jail and was only 1 of 5 to go home from jail that day. When I say Paula put everything into my case, I mean that. She left no stone unturned, no loose end flapping in the wind and lived up to her billing as an incredible lawyer. Most people when searching for a lawyer want a Pitbull. Someone who is going to get in there and fight tooth and nail for their freedom. Who is ferocious when needed and can finish what they start. After my experience with Paula I would say that she is a lion. She has an incredible work ethic, is fearless in front of a judge and fights hard no matter the adversity. I have never written a review in my life but I do not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anybody who is reading this review. She is definitely an honorable woman who hits like a 300-pound linebacker when needed. If you need a criminal defense lawyer who is able to make the absolute impossible, possible than she is your woman. Although I will say as a sidebar she does not mince words. She will tell you like it is and in a world where many lawyers will tell you what you want to hear, Paula will not. She will tell you like it is, then get in there and get the job done. Thank you Paula!

Not a good experience.

Very very very poor attitude. Doesn’t seem like he is interested in representing you. Talks to you like you are beneath him. Doesn’t offer really any good advice. I do not recommend this attorney.

Yes

I would say I experienced poor preparation and communication about plan and strategy.

Great customer service! This law firm is very knowledgeable and quick to respond to all your phone calls. If you are looking to work with a winning team I would highly recommend Greg and Paula!

Mr. Hough got my reckless driving for speeding charge reduced to a moving violation for a reasonable cost. Great advice, responsive staff and best outcome for my case. Highly recommend!

Solid firm both attorneys are very helpful and responsive to their clients needs. Extremely knowledgeable about the law.

Dependable attorneys who care about their clients. Paula and Greg handle cases all over Central Virginia and understand that each jurisdiction handles cases a little bit differently. As such, they’re able to advise their clients on how to prepare for court for their particular case. Highly recommend!

Paula Hough represented my daughter in Hanover county traffic court. From my first contact with her she was extremely helpful and understanding of nervous, anxious mother. Due to her expertise and guidance she was able to get the case dismissed. She 100% has my trust and hopefully I won't need to but she will be the only attorney I call in the future.

Excellent representation felt very confident walking in the court room with my wreckless ticket super thankful highly recommended

Excellent representation. Greg took my case to court for me with all the necessary information, advised me to attend traffic school and got my case dismissed. If you're looking for representation for a traffic violation, look no further.

Bad service,
