If you want the best...

5/5 stars! Sometimes in life, you are thrown hard punches or left with hard decisions and choices to make, and anyone going through financial difficulty or hardships beyond their control knows that it’s not only embarrassing, but emotionally draining as well. You want to “do the right thing”, clear y...our debts legally and knowing when to get help from a lawyer is part of that road to recovering both your self worth and getting your life back on track. So to do so, you MUST find a lawyer that not only is one of the best, but will UNDERSTAND you and your situation, while never, ever making you feel small or low. Well, I have to honestly say that Margaret Fugate is that lawyer. She is the absolute best and will always work hard to make you feel comfortable and your case done right. She is ethical and honest, straightforward, knowledgeable and caring. She made me feel much better about my life and situation, even when I felt like I had lost all hope. She handled my case excellently and reassured me of all my fears and worries. I never felt like I was with a lawyer - I felt more like I was with a “mothering figure” - someone who cared about my well being and the issues I was dealing with. She helped me and was very affordable, never like some other lawyers that gouge you etc. She was amazing. So, BELIEVE me - if I could rate Margaret (and her team - Gail etc) 10 stars instead of 5, I would. And if YOU want the best lawyer around, go with Margaret. You will not regret it. Thank-you for everything, Margaret!

Responsive & Knowledgeable

Margaret Fugate and her staff were responsive and able to set up an appointment to address issues over a recent collections account. Margaret Fugate was able to walk me through all the steps needed to resolve the collections issue and addressed all of the concerns I had. I would highly recommend her ...for anyone looking for a knowledgeable attorney!

assisted with settlement of debt

Margaret assisted my in the closure of a debt that had been turned over to collection. She discussed with me the pros/coms of debt settlement versus bankruptcy. And after I decided to settle the debt rather than seek bankruptcy, and she assisted me in the settlement.

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.
