About Hutchinson & Huffman, P.A.

Hutchinson & Huffman, P.A. is a West Palm Beach trial firm serving clients throughout Palm Beach County, and neighboring Martin and Broward counties. For more than 25 years the firm has represented people and businesses in both criminal and civil matters, from a criminal charge to a high-stakes business dispute. What defines the firm is the courtroom: Rick Hutchinson is a trial lawyer.

A Trial Practice Built on Two Strengths

On the criminal side, we defend clients facing misdemeanor and felony charges, from DUI and drug offenses to theft, domestic violence, white collar allegations, and serious felonies. On the civil side, we handle business and commercial litigation, contract, real estate, construction, employment, and partnership disputes, corporate matters, and personal injury. What ties both sides together is the courtroom: we are trial lawyers, and we prepare every case that way. Many of our clients come to us by referral, and many return when a new legal need arises.

How We Work

We keep our practice personal. When you hire us, you work directly with an attorney who knows your case, returns your calls, and explains your options in language you can actually use. Good representation starts with listening, and with treating every client as a person and not a file. We help good people through hard situations.
