Great representation, incredible outcome!

Charles H. Nugent represented me in a very personal and sensitive case against an organization that obtained the top lawyers in the country to defend them. I couldn't have asked for a more discrete, trustworthy and professional attorney to represent me in such a matter. His persistence and clarity wi...th retrieving and relaying any and all information/details of my case went over and beyond what I had expected. Mr. Nugent made certain I was always completely up to date and aware of all possibilities and aspects to my case. Along with his obvious strong work ethic, I was very pleased Mr. Nugent provided me with outstanding results, settling my case for more than 3x the amount of money I had initially hoped to receive. I should note that Mr. Nugent informed me honestly that my case was certainly not an "open and close" type of case, and that the defense had as strong of an argument as I did in the matter. Having represented me against what I later discovered to be some of, if not, the most expensive law firms in the country, I was very impressed with Mr. Nugent's confident composure and more importantly the outcome of the mediation for settlement of my case. I have since recommended Mr. Nugent to both family and friends, and will continue to do so. If needed, I will not hesitate to hire Mr. Nugent in the future. Thanks for the great work!

Charles Nugent is an incredibly knowledgeable and effective attorney.

Charles Nugent is an incredibly knowledgeable and effective attorney. My wife and I were extremely pleased with how responsive he and his staff were to our questions, always answering our emails and phone calls promptly. While riding my bicycle I was involved in a serious accident with an automobile.... This resulted in a compressed fracture of my spine and numerous broken bones and abrasions requiring a hospital stay and an extended recovery period. Mr. Nugent had to deal with an insurance company known for being difficult in settling claims. Their initial offer was $100K, but with his experience and excellent negotiating skills he was able to reach a settlement of $800K without going to trial. Best decision I ever made was seeking the advice and help of Mr. Nugent and his competent staff!

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.

A true professional

I'm forever grateful to Charles Nugent for the excellent work he put into my case. Hiring Charles was the best thing I could've done in my situation and he handled the case with professionalism, determination, and integrity. He was more than willing to go above and beyond his duty both in preparation... and appearing in court multiple times. I will be happy to recommend him to anyone in the future.

The Best Choice I Ever Made

Charles Nugent became the best choice I made in a lawyer for my case. He was professional, determined, and efficient in seeing that my case was dealt with appropriately and fairly. I have him to thank for ensuring I had the future I wanted and deserved. You will absolutely not regret trusting him w...ith any situation. He takes every case seriously and allows you to feel confident about the outcome. If you have had to deal with lawyers in the past you know that you can feel uninformed and uncared for at times but with Nugent I never felt neglected. He got me the best outcome I could hope for and has continued to surpass my expectations and put my mind at ease. If you need legal help Charles Nugent is your man.
