HUGHES, DENNIS J. BPR # 012877
March 24, 1992
Public censure on March 24, 1992. Four separate complaints were filed against Hughes and he
tendered a conditional guilty plea. He was contacted by two prospective clients regarding
representing them in a criminal investigation. During his conversations with these prospective
clients, he made comments that, if misconstrued, could give rise to the appearance of
impropriety. The other three cases concerned his failure to adequately communicate with his
clients and keep them reasonably informed as to the status of their cases. Two of these matters
dealt with clients that he had been appointed to represent in post-conviction appeals.
