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.

Good guy

Although we didn't hire him for the initial part of our case. Due to family going elsewhere with the case I would like to personally thank Mr. Nugent. He always answered all my questions during many consultations. He's very honest and open about the possible outcome of your case. Good guy and willing... to help.

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

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!
