Testimonials

Cathy's expertise and industry knowledge is second to none. She has guided myself and many colleagues through the never-ending changes in telecom as it relates to county zoning code and has authored creative and common sense text initiatives allowing the industry and the government authorities to agree quickly on common ground. I have also had the opportunity to work with her as she represented our firm in client lease negotiations. Her ability to understand the client needs and processes, as well as her talent in negotiating has made her a true asset in our industry.

Michael Lautar, II, Principal, Acquisitions, Bridge Gap Consulting, LLC

As a Maryland zoning expert in the telecommunications industry, Sean is level-headed, pragmatic and a great communicator. He clearly outlines our options and describes the path forward in the land development and permitting process. We couldn't be happier with the service he provides!

I have worked with Sean Hughes for many years and consider him to be one of the most conscientious attorneys I know. Through his years of experience, he offers excellent results and advice, but most importantly his integrity and honesty are his top qualities as a professional.

Tom Kane CEO, Network Building Consulting

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Sean Hughes for nearly 20 years. In that time, he has been one of the most competent and prolific wireless telecom land use attorneys I know. Having him on the Board of the MD/DC Wireless Association is both beneficial and exciting. We will put his years of experience and expertise to great use as the MDDCWA represents the wireless telecom community in the Baltimore/Washington market on the issues that directly impact our industry.

David Yacoub President, Maryland DC Wireless Association

Sean took my issue to heart and worked to ensure the best outcome for me. He reached out to his contacts in the county, which greatly helped our cause. He attended meetings, provided testimony...each step of the way he communicated with me and we worked together to affect change.
