Charles Nugent, the Lawyer you need to represent YOU in any court case

Charles, is the best legal attorney for any of your concerns. I found him to be very helpful, pleasant, friendly and insightful. He is easy to talk with and his practice speaks volumes about who he is. His legal staff represents him very well. They were polite, respectful, and easy to talk with. I f...ound his assistants speak volumes of who, not just for Charles Nugent, but for who they are as people of character in their own right. I can honestly say that I have profoundly appreciated meeting them and have now found the best legal representation for any of my concerns.

Outstanding Professional

I am writing to recommend Chuck Nugent for any legal matter requiring family law, real estate, or criminal defense]. I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Nugent on legal matters. I was impressed by his professionalism and dedication. Mr. Nugent possesses a deep understanding of NJ laws and ...regulations. He is highly skilled at negotiating settlements, researching, and representing clients in court. His ability to explain complex legal concepts is an attribute that is noteworthy. Beyond his legal expertise,Mr. Nugent is a dedicated and compassionate advocate. He is always available to answer questions and address concerns. His commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients was evident in every interaction. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Nugent to anyone seeking legal representation. He is a highly skilled and trustworthy attorney who will go above and beyond to ensure his clients' needs are met.

Hire the best if you expect the best

Mr. Nugent provided me the best representation on several occasions with different criminal cases. The relationships he has built over the years and level of respect he receives in an out of the courtrooms is something I've never seen or witnessed before. He works hard for his clients best interest...! If secured early on, a pre-indictment deal might be something to explore. One way or another, one of a kind and I highly recommend attorney Mr. Chuck Nugent Esq.

How is a super lawyer like this not full of himself?

I was under the impression that shock occurred when something very bad happened to you, such being rear-ended by an inattentive driver who took out my trunk and backseat and could very well have taken out me. Did I deserve a settlement? No question. Circumstances, pictures, and an eye witness made th...at clear. None-the-less, a medical complication could have obscured the facts and made a just settlement tricky- and it was. I wasn't very hopeful. But when I went to Mr. Nugent's office-a place where you are treated like family-to pick up my check and saw what he had accomplished, I amazed myself that I behaved calmly, I thanked him and then drove directly, and ever so carefully, to my bank, having learned that shock can also occur when something very good happens to you.

Couldn't be happier

I was referred to Mr. Nugent by another attorney following a car accident. He was endlessly kind, always supportive, and at every step of the process, the Nugent team kept me informed and prepared for whatever was to happen next. My intentions were respected, and although I hope to never again repeat... the experience, would engage no one else.
