PA State Senator Vincent J. Hughes: Willig is ‘Fearless’

A leading progressive voice on local, state, and national issues, State Sen. Vincent J. Hughes says he has counted on Deb Willig and her team of fierce advocates at Willig, Williams & Davidson for decades. A Democratic member of the Pennsylvania State Senate, Hughes serves as the Democratic Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. He has represented the 7th District since 1994 and served as a Pennsylvania State Representative for seven years before that.

“When Debbi and the firm’s name comes to my mind, the word FEARLESS is what I think about the most,” Hughes said, adding that the firm and its attorneys are “not afraid to tackle anybody, any issue, always prepared to jump in on the issue of justice.”

In addition to fighting for people’s rights on an individual basis or on behalf of a collective, Willig and the attorneys at her firm also advocate in the arena of public policy, Hughes said.

“As a state senator for 25 years now, I can always count on Debbi and the firm to be a resource for us, but also to know that if they’re fighting on the front line, it’s for the right reason. If they’re fighting for an individual, it’s for the right reason. If they’re fighting for the broader issue, it’s for the right reason.”

Hughes concluded, “She and that firm are not afraid of anybody, and I thank them. They mean so much to the broader fabric of this city, this state and the nation. You always have to have fighters, and you can always count on Debbi Willig and the firm.”
