Excellent - Should Be Your First Choice

In my search to find a good Traffic Lawyer, I chose Robert Pugh to represent me because he had the best overall merit in terms of what I could visibly see as you “peel back” the layers of the internet. I found those accolades to be accurate. Robert Pugh did not disappoint in any aspect of my experie...nce with him. He was of high class and model professionalism. He was there to answer my call at 6:00AM. There was never a time where I had to wait for anything. There was never a time where I did not know the status of my case or was unclear about something. He took however much time I needed to explain and answer all my questions. With his wealth of knowledge in the constant changing legal system combined with his great reputation he has maintained in his profession provide for one impressive attorney.

An excellent criminal defense attorney

I was charged with felony animal cruelty. Rob listened carefully to my side of the story. He was very diligent in gathering evidence both for the defense and the discovery of the prosecutors evidence. He was always available for phone conversations and listened to all of my ideas that might help my d...efense. He offered expert advice on all aspects of the trial, including how to dress, haircuts, posture, and eye contact in the courtroom. He guided my testimony including what adjectives to use to best describe my actions. He was very expert in describing my options as they pertained to offering or taking a plea bargain and whether to take the stand in my own defense. Looking back his advice got me a not guilty verdict and saved me from a felony record and jail time. He will not always tell you what you want to hear but he will always tell you what you need to know. His examination and cross examination of witnesses at my trial was phenomenal. I had a hard time understanding some of his strategies and questioned his logic at times. If you do also, believe me, he knows what his is doing and you should follow his advice at all times. The best way for me to describe Rob is that he is part pit bull and part rattlesnake. He will do whatever it takes to get you the best deal possible. You want the meanest hornet on your side and Rob is it. I would recommend Rob to my best friend. You will not find a better defense lawyer. Hire him NOW.

Very understanding

Mr. Pugh was very understanding of my situation. He treated me like a good person who made a bad choice. He never made me feel uncomfortable or tried to make me feel ashamed of my mistake. He handled my case quickly and helped me avoid even going to court or being charged with an offense. I reall...y appreciate his help.
