Joseph A. Bugni

I had the privilege to have Attorney Joseph A. Bugni to be my counsel. He's very well versed on both, Federal and State Law. Unlike other attorneys, he will make sure to visit his clients, when needs to, and likewise, he will not hesitate to answer an important client phone call. His skills concernin...g legal Briefs and Motions drafting, are the best in the field. And when it comes to his acumen towards oral arguments in court, attorney Joseph A. Bugni is one of the best at that. When he was my attorney he always made sure that my best interest was always his top priority, in resolving my case.

I have had the privilege to be represented by Joe Bugni twice. He worked with me years ago and then again recently and all the years in between he has continued to be a source of advice and support. Joe is straight forward and informative and to the point and just a great lawyer and an all around gre...at person. He approached my cases professionally and made sure that I understood every aspect of the case and the process, as well as the most realistic outcomes that I could expect. He respected my decisions and helped me understand how my goals related to the case and what could be done. He then worked his butt off to make sure that it happened. I am very grateful to have had him in my corner. He has shown me repeatedly that not only did my case matter to him, more importantly I mattered to him. I have always been grateful to have him as my attorney and even a friend, he has shown me that there is nothing that he wouldn’t do for a client. If you ever have the opportunity to work with him, take it immediately! It is a decision you will never regret. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

My fiance has been incarcerated with the feds since 2011 with 2 more years to go, we reached out to Joe Bugni with hopes that he qualified for the 821 ammendment that just went into effect, we were super hopeful and disappointed to find out that he didn't qualify, Joe dug a little bit and seen that m...y fiance was oversentanced, and he is coming home!! Joe has been absolutely AMAZING and nothing short of a miracle! He responded with stupid questions and took the time out of his day so that my fiance got relief, and Joe was constantly updating my fiance and myself so it was never a question of what was going on. We are EXTREMELY GREATFUL FOR JOE!! my fiance never thought he would actually be going home!!

So I’ve had multiple attorneys throughout my life never have I had an attorney that’s going to fight for you listen to and be there for you as much as Mr. Bugni he understands the law he’s going to give it to you straight, and he will do everything in his power to help you out to the best of his abil...ity I highly recommend this attorney. He has helped me in many ways and many others just like me.

I’m the wife of the defendant (Jim) that Joe and his team represented. The first time I met Joe I thought we were going to talk about the case. But instead Joe asked me “What questions do you have for me and the team?” For the next few hours Joe answered all of my and Jim's questions, simple or c...omplicated. He made me feel completely comfortable talking with him. At one point Joe said "Behind you is Jim’s case." I turned around and there was a whiteboard covering the entire wall! It was amazing. When we left the office that day Joe and his team told us “We’ll be with you every step of the way! We are defending an innocent man.” And true to their word ALL of them were there for both of us. In the months and weeks leading up to the trial Joe and his team put in countless hours, including contacting Jim to review documents to better their understanding of the case. Joe’s opening statement was confident and informative. During the trial, the team was working together every break and lunch, and back at the office every night (late at night) reviewing the day, going over their plan, and planning how they would cross-examine upcoming witnesses. They always included us. Joe's closing was powerful and to the point, and the jury was hanging on every word. This was a life-changing experience for me and Jim, and we were so very lucky to have this Federal Defender’s law office defend us. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all!
