Person Injury

I contacted Mr. Nugent through AVVO on a Saturday and to my surprise I received a phone call from him later that day! I did not expect to hear from anyone from his office until Monday. When I informed Mr. Nugent that I could not drive due to my injuries he offered to come to my home. This type of ...service is above and beyond. I've been working with Mr. Nugent for approximately one month and it has been a welcoming experience. He has kept me informed throughout the process and I would recommend Mr. Nugent to friends or family.

An Honest Outstanding Attorney

Let me take a moment to comment on a very positive experience I’ve encountered with the Nugent Law Firm. Upon meeting Charles Nugent for the first time, I vividly remember him making a “house call” back in February 2014 to my apartment. I had just been casted by the Lourdes Orthopedic team and my d...riving privileges were restricted. As a nurse, a right broken ankle seemed like the end of the world especially in the cold of winter. Needless to say, I was despondent and depressed, but eager to fight back and regain my mental strength and physical capability. Mr. Nugent was dressed in a dapper suit with a brimmed hat. I asked if he could retrieve my mail from the foyer table at the bottom of my stairs. He was more than happy to do so. We discussed goals, and he crafted a strategic plan for compensation of lost wages and what could have been a permanent injury after a sharp slip on the ice. Undoubtedly, I felt overwhelmingly confident that I had the best attorney in my corner. My journey was severely humiliating and frustrating, but every fork in the road was handled with the highest demeanor of professionalism and support. Whenever I called the office with a question or concern, Beth couldn’t have been more accommodating. She was so friendly and reassuring as I was very apprehensive about initiating a lawsuit. The fervent respect, compassion, and patience devoted to my cause is a testimony to the conduct and character of this law firm. Everyone is extremely pleasant and never hesitated to exhaust every opportunity to walk beyond the extra mile to fulfill my needs. This review is being furnished in response to my gratitude for Mr. Nugent’s hard work, his generous time, effort, honesty, and dedication executed to the successful outcome of this case. Melissa’s warm, smiling face at the front desk invites a rich sincerity to the practice as well. One day during a scheduled meeting, the office manager, Mary, wanted to ascertain that I was sitting comfortably in the waiting area. The team couldn’t have been more welcoming or hospitable. For those injured clients seeking to choose the most competent business to serve their legal matters, THE NUGENT LAW FIRM is that Gold Star shining for those who search for the rainbow after the storm. With abundant thanks and deepest appreciation, Recovered Nurse Colleen

Best in the game.

Mr. Nugent has been my lawyer for the last five years and he has represented me in a Workman's comp case, a construction accident lawsuit case, as well as multiple municipal court hearings. Mr. Nugent represented me in a felony case and got me off the proverbial hook. I will be forever grateful for C...harles and his amazing team that he has for guiding me through one of the hardest times in my life and being on my team. If you need a lawyer for an array of areas especially an injury or workman's composition case, I highly recommend Charles Nugent.

The lawyer you want, the lawyer you need!!!

Mr. Charles Nugent is a top elite lawyer. He has helped me the way words can not explain. I was involved in a serious car accident where I suffered some serious injuries. This incident had happened 5 years ago and Mr. Nugent stuck by side for all them years supporting me and protecting me not only as... a top lawyer but as a family man who cared about me and my family. He has the best group around. Him and his team did so much to get me the best possible outcome I could ever imagine. This man right here is the #1 lawyer and he will do what it takes to make you satisfied. He's a true life changer and is very appriciated by my family and I. Much love to this man right here.

Review

I was represented by Mr. Nugent’s office for injuries I suffered in a car accident. I was recommended to Mr. Nugent by another attorney. Mr. Nugent came to my house to see me because I couldn’t travel. He was very compassionate, and he and his office staff were professionals. They kept me updated th...roughout the process, and he and his staff were always polite and kind. For 3 years the insurance company offered me very little money, and it wasn’t until trial that it compensated me for the injuries I suffered. The case was settled and I‘m very satisfied with the amount of the settlement. I appreciated the opportunity to be represented by Charles H. Nugent, Jr. Esquire and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer after suffering injuries.
