Thomas Benjamin Huggett

I was given Mr. Huggett as a pro bono lawyer in a domestic violence case. He rarely returned my calls. He made it seem that with be easier to plead guilty to a disorderly persons offense and not have it go to trial. It was like he didn't want to be bothered with it going to trial. I tried to explain... to him that being a nurse and pleading guilty to this charge would affect my nursing career, he assured me it wouldn't. On my court date he didn't bring any of my paper work or files. He said that if I plead guilty, I would be on probation and have to attend a domestic violence class. Well probation meant, meeting with a parole officer once a week for a year, random drug screens, and I have to attend 26 weeks of a domestic violence class. Now that I'm looking for a job as a nurse, I am unable to get employment because of the disorderly persons. He did me a great disservice.
