Kuddo's to Margaret and Staff

Margaret and both Gayle's were excellent during a very stressful period for my husband and I. They made the process so much easier and we did not feel like second rated citizens. I was so ashamed and nervous in the beginning but they helped me overcome those feelings. Thank you all three so much

Wonderful

Ms. Fugate and her staff are wonderful! Ms. Fugate and her staff are friendly and always ready to do anything they can to help. Ms. Fugate explained what to expect in court and what needed to be done before hand. Her assistant is very helpful and knowledgeable. She always kept me informed on the ...status of the case. I would highly recommend Ms. Fugate to anyone who needs an attorney.

A review of my experience with Margaret Fugate

Margaret is an excellent lawyer. She saved my financial future. She is a straight shooter as well as a very nice person. Her charges were fair and well documented. Margaret is the kind of lawyer we wish they all were.

Margaret gave me peace, protection, and shelter legally in my most difficult times. My daughter was passing away and I was protected.

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.
