Hands down one of the best trial lawyers

Mr. Nuggent represented me in a criminal case for sexual assault on 3 different charges from a ex lover who claimed I repeatedly raped her for a 3 year period with so called witnesses to testify against me . Mr Nuggent in the most respectable way managed to get each and every one of the prosacutor... witnesses to flip and tell the truth about what really happened witch lead to my not guilty verdict . He was very passionate , involved and intune with my family and the case for almost a two year period. I strongly suggest if you need an attorney he is definitely the man for the job his ability to connect with the jury and get the emotion of the case out is Impeccable as well as his cross examination of wittnesses and ability to think quickly for the right questions I give Mr. Nuggent a 12 out of 10

Chuck Nugent is a superb attorney! Chuck represented our Nephew in a criminal case and if it were not for his expert ability to read through the facts and manage the findings through the court system, our Nephew's future would have been ruined. Chuck is an expert in his field with superior negotiatio...n skills and and a network of colleagues that also respect his work and legal expertise. He truly has a comforting bedside manner that not only informs the client but, educates and prepares them throughout the process. There isn't any other Attorney I would hire in the entire State of NJ to handle a criminal case! Chuck saved our Nephew and now he has a chance to turn his life around and look forward to achieving productive goals and successes in his life. Our family is indebted to Mr. Nugent!

Amazing result from true professional!

Mr. Nugent handled my case with care and class. I was looking at 10 plus years in prison and Mr. Nugent was able to get me into the New Jersey Drug Court program. He is very good with people and is amazing at what he does. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone needing legal counsel. Thank y...ou Chuck!

One of the best!

I recently faced some serious criminal allegations that were completely false. My case was a battle from beginning to end. Along the way I lost my job and reputation was tarnished for something I never did. My family and I really suffered during this most difficult time. Charles Nugent stood by us th...e entire time and fought to have these charges dismissed. You could tell each time we went to court Charles was well respected. He also did other things on the side such as making various calls to my employer pleading my innocence. He also called a local newspaper and kindly requested they remove an article pertaining to my arrest. Charles is a family man so he understood how my family and I were suffering. This is a big time lawyer that does not come with a big ego like some attorneys. He will fight for you until the end. I recommend Charles Nugent without hesitation!
