Posted by anonymous | March 26, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Just stay away from this firm.

I hired this attorney in a time of need when my ex surprised me with divorce papers. The experience of a divorce is a horrible one. But when you have an attorney like Jack Pugh, it makes things a 1000 times worse. I looked into changing lawyers but could not afford to spend more money starting the ...divorce process over. After shoddy bookkeeping for 2 years, I finally had to go to the Florida bar for the Jack and his wife to stop coming up with imaginary charges.

You want Jack Pugh in your corner

Jack did an excellent job in representing me during my divorce and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need. He was conscious of my needs, did not run up unnecessary expenses, and was just an all around good man. This is the kind of person you want in your corner.

Divorce and Lawsuit

Mr. Pugh helped me with my divorce and was extremely helpful. He also assisted with a lawsuit against me and my ex-wife and was able to remove me from the lawsuit. Would highly recommend using Mr Pugh for any legal matter you might need.

client

At my consultation meeting, which was complimentary, I decided that Mr. Pugh was definitely the attorney to handle my divorce. Not only is he a true Southern gentleman, he is extremely knowledgeable about all facets of matrimonial law. Additionally, Mr. Pugh enjoys all aspects of his practice and e...xcels through his speech and his experience. HIs office is run very well by his paralegal Nicola Ingrassia, who is always available to speak. I recommend Mr. Pugh very highly for he has achieved success for me. My divorce took 3 1/2 months. You should note that my children are grown and no alimony was awarded. I am so fortunate to be a single woman. Thank you Jack!
