Workers Compensation 20%

Workers' Compensation for Federal Employees is all that I handle. I deal with matters involving FECA, OWCP, ECAB. I help injured federal employees obtain the benefits they deserve when they are injured on the job.

20%
DUI and DWI 5%

I seek to protect the rights of those charged with DUI in Pennsylvania. Having a preliminary hearing and preserving the officer's testimony is extremely important. I meet the client's goals by educating them about their options and risks. Often, I can reduce the client's exposure to incarceration, probation, fines, license suspension and more. Call or email me if you have been charged with DUI in Pennsylvania

Client

Attorney Doug Sughrue did an exceptional job handling my case. I would highly recommend his expertise with criminal law.

Posted by George | May 10, 2013 | Criminal Defense

Gratefull to be home

Mr. Sughrue fought tireless for my cause. He was my defense lawyer for a possible three strikes case in 2008. (25 to 50 years) the outcome was that I am writing this from home with my family. He does not leave a stone unturned. Very thorough.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
