I have been a lawyer since 1989.  I clerked for three state court judges in Oregon during law school, and my first job after passing the Washinton and Oregon state bar exams was with the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.  After three and a-half years there, I began working for the Vancouver firm of Morse and Bratt, where I first met my current law partners Gideon, Bill and Ben.  The four of us formed our own firm in August 2003, and have been together in our current location since then.. My areas of practice include personal injury and wrongful death litigation, workers compensation, insurance litigation, and various employment and small business matters.. I enjoy getting to know my clients and telling their stories.  While there are multiple stereotypes regarding injured people, their lawyers and the tort system in general, my experience is that the vast majority of our clients simply want to be made whole, based on what has happened to them.  My job is to help them do that.. I am married and the father of two great kids.   I love the Northwest and the quality of life it provides.  I have been a youth basketball coach for 10 years, and have coached several Clark County high school mock trial teams over the years.  I enjoy cycling, tolerate running and survive swimming, all of which makes me an average triathlete.  Regardless, I am inspired by the efforts of athletes of all ages and abilities.

I grew up in Portland, Oregon.  I graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School and Portland State University.  I left the Northwest to continue my education at Texas Tech University.  There I obtained both a Master of Business Administration ("MBA") and a Juris Doctorate (Law) degrees.  After graduating I returned to Portland, Oregon.  In 1999 I was admitted to the Oregon state bar and in 1996, I was admitted to the Washington state bar.  For almost 18 years my practice has focused on representing Oregon wage claimants against their current or former employers and individuals against harassing debt collectors.  I have represented my clients both in an individual capacity and as large groups in multi-million dollar class action cases.  As a result of my litigation efforts, thousands were able to recover money damages, wages, penalty wages, costs, and attorney fees for prosecuting their claims.  Large corporate defendants can hire the biggest and best defense firms.  Individuals need someone who is not intimidated and can stand up to these corporate giants and who will fight for their rights.  I have prosecuted cases against both large and small Defendants such as:  Reser's Fine Foods, Addus Healthcare, Circuit City Stores, El Paso Energy Petroleum, Freightliner, Columbia Collectors, Ace Parking, Xerox, Decision One, Tigard Tendercare, and many others.  I do not get intimidated and will continue to fight for the rights of individuals.

After spending time in many corners of the world, Mr. McHugh landed in Vancouver, Washington with a special affinity for Latin America. This connection with the region and its people led him to earn his Master’s degree in Latin America and International Law from the University of Texas School of Law. Since beginning his practice, Mr. McHugh has represented clients in many types of employment cases including severance negotiations, employment discrimination, wage and hour disputes, and more for both employees and employers. He also has experience in many types of business litigation, construction litigation, traffic infractions, and civil litigation matters. His breadth of experience makes him a compassionate counselor and a fierce advocate in the courtroom.. Colin enjoys traveling in Latin America, playing music in a band, photography, and anything involving the outdoors in the summertime with his partner Em, and his shiba inu, Banks.. *Se habla español*
