The best lawyer

I met Craig Pugatch few years ago dealing with Bankruptcy situation. Without him the outcome of my legal situation was going to be horrible and devastating. Craig is a great human being with a great sensibility, ethical, moral and professional principles. He is extremely smart and knowledgeable, al...ways available and responsive. I strongly recommend him. He is a role model in the legal profession.

Excellent Corporate Attorney

I have used Craig for years for corporate documents, real estate related items, contractual agreements and other related items. He and his team do a thorough job each and every time.

Recommendation

"I had a pretty esoteric question about receivership. Craig knew the answer right off the top of his head and likely saved my client thousands of dollars. A very giving guy, with a knowledge base that is quite impressive."

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.
