Attorney
McHugh Law PLLC
Vancouver, Washington, 98660
A skilled and experienced litigator with a track record for millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements, Colin sees the justice system as a way to level the playing field for the most marginalized and disenfranchised members of society. In the employment context, Colin believes deeply that in order to have a successful and healthy workplace, it starts with the employer having compassion for its employees first and making sure that everyone has an equal opportunity to excel at work.
When Colin represents a client who has been harassed, wrongfully terminated, or discriminated against, he is there as a listener, as a zealous advocate, and as an experienced attorney, ready to passionately stand up for what is right. When Colin represents people that have been injured, he is ready to help you deal with the pesky insurance companies, assist in organizing medical records, be there for you as you seek treatment, and then if necessary, go to court and fight to ensure that you get just compensation.
Since beginning his practice approximately a decade ago, Colin has focused his practice representing individuals in both employment and personal injury cases. As a firm believer that no one should ever experience harassment or discrimination in the workplace, he has represented clients in many types of employment cases including sexual harassment, employment discrimination (race, gender/sex, disability, gender identity and expression, immigration status, sexual orientation, religious discrimination, etc.) employment breach of contract, retaliation, and restrictive covenants, such as non-competes and non-solicitations.
Although Colin has advised and represented employers in the past (which gives him a unique and balanced perspective), he currently exclusively represents individual plaintiffs in employment and other civil cases. He also focuses on many types of civil litigation matters such as personal injury, slip and fall issues, falling merchandise, animal-related injuries such as dog bites and wrongful death cases.
Mr. McHugh is a zealous advocate for his clients and will not rest until your case has resolved. He cares deeply for his clients and is here to listen to you and solve your complex legal problems. In his free time, Mr. McHugh enjoys playing and listening to music, fly fishing, photography, traveling, and spending time with his partner Emily and his two shiba inu dogs, Banks and Foxy.
