Posted by Scott | January 25, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Slip and Fall Accident

Mr. Nugent is an excellent choice

I couldn't speak more highly of Mr. Nugent and his work. Charles is friendly and is able to quickly explain a developing case to his clients in layman's terms without speaking down to those without legal backgrounds. His work is exemplary and he produced a result above and beyond my wildest expec...tations. What another lawyer may have seen as a tough and hard slip and fall legal battle Mr. Nugent saw as an opportunity to get his client, me, a settlement that equaled my injury's pain and suffering. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs the services of a lawyer or firm within his fields.

Thank You !!!

Mr Nugent is amazing! From my first consultation with him (after making a very poor error in judgement), he was professional, had a very calming demeanor, and immediately helped me feel better about my situation. Mr Nugent and his staff office were always prompt in returning my phone calls and answ...ering any questions I had. Hiring Mr Nugent resulted in the best outcome I could have hoped for. As a client, his reputation and experience was invaluable. I would not hesitate one bit in recommending Mr Nugent for any legal issue!

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

The Professions Absolute Best

I have utilized Charles Nugent and his practice for literally decades for criminal and personal injury matters. He is extremely detail oriented and an excellent communicator. He has always gotten me the very best results when it appeared to be impossible. The couple of times that I was mistakenly ur...ged to go with someone else, I fully regretted it. I highly recommend Mister Nugent and his firm with the utmost confidence and have a world of gratitude for what they accomplished for me over the years.
