Traffic tickets in Wayne, NJ

The Associate attorney who appeared on my behalf was prepared, professional, courteous and efficient. I was very pleased with the result. I would hire the Shugar Law firm and their associate attorneys again should the need arise. As an attorney in NYS, I appreciate their service and expertise. ...

Down to Earth Attorneys that get the job done!

I got my first ticket and I was so nervous. I called Shugar Law Office and spoke to Greg. He was very comforting and assured me that he could reduce my ticket to no points. I decided to trust my gut and hire them. When we appeared in court they knew everyone there and I knew I was in good hands.... In less than 30 minutes, the case was completely Dismissed. I paid no fine to the court. I am so happy I hired them. They were honest, trustworthy and competent. If you need an attorney this is the firm to hire! Thanks again Shugar Law!!

Don't hire this Firm...It is a waste of money. They didn't show up for my hearing

I hired the Shugar Law Firm to handle my case and they were absolutely awful from the start .Once they received payment for their services they refused to answer questions or take any kind of statement about the matter which they would be defending. I had one attorney tell me that we could email... each other about the case. After that I heard nothing from the firm.The first time that I spoke to an attorney was on my court date. It was very clear to that this person was extremely inexperienced. She couldn't even answer basic questions. Make a long story short, my case was continued so that Court could look Into a program. We were all served with papers to appear on a certain date and they didn't show up.

This is simply NOT true. You were charged with shoplifting in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. We appeared with you on July 2, 2014 and we were able to have you entered into the CAP program which is a diversionary program whereby once you successfully complete the program the shoplifting charges are dismissed. The CAP program in Bucks County, PA is a brand new program that has just been made available in Bucks County so all attorneys as well as court staff are doing their best to navigate through the new program. A date for your admittance to the CAP program was scheduled for July 22, 2014 for you to be admitted. Only you had to appear on the admittance date of July 22, 2014. We did exactly what we told you we were going to do by avoiding a shoplifting conviction. I can't understand why you are upset. If you are upset you should have called the office so that we could have discussed this. We have a fully staffed office that answers the phone. and promptly monitors e-mails. If you had a question there is absolutely no reason why you wouldn't be able to get in contact with us. I think you are just mad at the whole situation and you are taking it out on the only people who have actually helped you in though your entire situation. Is is simply wrong for you to do that. With that being said, we are still here to help and if you need assistance please do not hesitate to call us.

All they want is to make money

I called up Mr. Gregory and explained a simple two point ($85) speeding violation I got. Instead of trying to find out more about the case or spending the time to see if we can fight the ticket. He explained to me how taking an unsafe driving ($400 approx, and can only be used three times in your lif...etime) is the best approach. Obviously because this will be the easiest way for them to make money out of this situation without doing much. I hate law firms like these who only prey upon the fact that most of us do not understand laws. so all they do is go with us to the court, take the easiest plea bargain they can get from the prosecutors. This way they get to be in good terms with the prosecutors and the court while explaining to us how much we should be thankful to them to get us the best possible outcome and make hundreds of dollars. Mr. Gregory Shugar, you are lawyers and supposed to defend the public in case your have forgotten the meaning of it.

You called and I gave you your options. I told you that you could either 1) pay the ticket and be assessed with 2 points; 2) Reduce the ticket to no points with a fine of approximately $400 or 3) Go to a trial. I fail to see how this is "preying" on you. I think your just mad you got a ticket and are taking it out on the only person who is trying to help you. This is unfair. And if you are going to write ridiculous reviews like this you should own up to it and put your name next to it and not post it "anonymously" and hide behind your computer. Better yet, If you have something to say you should come to the office and say it.
