“When it comes to the practice of law, my father is my inspiration. He sustained injuries while serving our country during the Vietnam War. Before I meet with clients, I remind myself: if this client were my father, how would I want him to be treated? I want others to treat him with compassion, commitment, and courage. These values guide me not only in my law practice, but also in every circumstance, every day.”

Born and raised in Summer County, Tennessee, Theresa is a dedicated professional that focuses her practice on assisting car accident victims as they navigate the complex process of recovering damages and rebuilding their lives.
After earning her Bachelor of Science in Political Science, she went on to earn a Master of Science degree in education and a Master of Science degree in History from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She then went on to earn her Juris Doctorate from Nashville School of Law.
Her family’s military background, including her grandfather (a WWII veteran) and father (a Vietnam veteran) instilled in her a sense of duty and started her personal journey. Theresa began her personal journey advocating for her father as he fought for veteran’s benefits while overcoming his war-related injuries. Through this process, she developed an unwavering commitment to help those who have been injured. This led her to Hughes & Coleman, where she continues to make a difference.
Before joining Hughes & Coleman, Theresa served as an attorney for the State of Tennessee in the Juvenile Court. She advocated for the best interests of children in custody, parentage, educational neglect, and neglect/dependency cases. Theresa also cherished her time teaching high school and college history and law courses.
In her free time, Theresa loves to explore nature. She often hikes through the state parks of Kentucky and Tennessee with her loyal dog, Vinny. She also enjoys traveling with friends and family.
They worked hard on my case and took care of everything… a BIG thank you to Kendra, Jamie, Lee, and all of the staff that took care of me… Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year… thank you all again.
Cathy White and her team took amazing care of me. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, attentive, and supportive. Knowing I had Cathy on my side gave me peace of mind throughout the entire process. I can’t recommend her enough if you’re in need of a lawyer.
Ashley Moore and Katie Coffman have been wonderful points of contact through this firm. They have been fast to reach out any time there was a concern, and regularly gave monthly updates about how things were going. They are great to have in your corner if you need them.

I cannot recommend Hughes & Coleman and their team highly enough. After my auto accident, I was overwhelmed, in pain, and unsure of what to do next. From the very first consultation, they were compassionate, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. They walked me through every step of the legal process, kept me informed, and truly fought to ensure I get the compensation I deserve. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring auto accident lawyer, look no further than Hughes & Coleman. (View the original review on Google for the Lexington office.)
Top notch firm. Christina Martin and Mariana Goff have been awesome. Always super nice and both explain every question in detail, so believe me when I say if you’re in a wreck, please don’t try to go it alone. (View the original review on Google for the Bowling Green office.)
