Joseph A. Bugni

Joe Bugni is a super personable, caring, always professional and one of the hardest working attorneys we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Joe was our sons attorney. While our son was in jail awaiting his court appearances, Joe met with our son once a week, encouraged him to read, and to s...tay busy. He was meticulous in preparing our sons case. He was always prepared with what the court asked for. He truly cares and respects his clients and their families by listening to them, thus creating trusting and friendly relationships. Due to our relationship with Joe, we always felt comfortable with him and that our son was fortunate to have the best attorney! We knew that Joe was working very hard for all of us. Joe is also very open for phone calls, texts and emails from family members. He responds very quickly. Joe does not “beat around the bush”. He is a “just the facts” type of person. When one asks for clarifications, he does so very succinctly-in a nice manner, and has never been condescending. Seriously, we cannot thank him enough for all he did for our son and our family. It’s as if he is part of our family. One would not go wrong when your loved one chooses Joe Bugni as his/her Federal attorney.

Mr. Bugni has been a wonderful help navigating the way through a complicated time. He kept in good contact and was even talking to me about my case on his days off. I have never met a lawyer that worked as hard or did as much research for a case. He is very knowledgeable in the law and is a compas...sionate human being.

My son was fortunate to have Mr. Bugni appointed to him. Right away he consulted me, informing me of what he would be up against and the obstacles that would have to be overcome in litigating his case. So forthright and honest, never giving false hopes or inclinations of processes or outcomes that I ...may anticipate or hope for. Every major event was communicated to me by Mr. Bugni or his staff, verbally or by email. I often wondered if he had a life outside of litigating - seemed to work endlessly and very forthright on his extreme case load. With that said, I always felt my son was receiving his undivided attention. He was on top of all matters, met all deadlines, and exceeded all of my expectations. With natural skill and foresight, his appearances in the courtroom were always clear, concise, accurate, and reflected my feelings as well as my sons desires and intentions. I know without a doubt that had my son drawn another lawyer, his outcome would have been different. His skill and demeanor seemed well respected by all opposition, and his tact and knowledge of the law seemed to overshadow the prosecutions. The prosecution clearly outnumbered Mr. Bugni, but he out-lawyered them from the onset. If there is any room for promotion, advancement, or special recognition of a civil servant Mr. Bugni should lead the pack. He would, in my opinion, make an outstanding judge if appointed - elected. His potential seems endless.

I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for all the hard work, dedication and superior legal service Mr. Bugni provided my family. Joe’s knowledge and expertise surpassed all of my expectations. The one aspect which I think really set him apart is that he cares about his clients and their famili...es. He answered every email and every phone call honestly and timely. He always made my family feel that we were important and his only client. He also always took the time to answer all of our questions and provide candid legal advice. I highly recommend Mr. Bugni as a Federal Defense Attorney. He has the experience combined with unparalleled knowledge and the commitment needed while you are navigating through a federal trial. My family is blessed to have him as our attorney.

Joe is such an amazing lawyer and person that no words can explain how grateful my family and I are for having him in our lives to represent my nephew. He is truly a gift from God. My family and I were terrified with the uncertainty of what my nephew was facing and knowing what he would have to go ...through along with the rest of our family but Joe was always there for us from Day 1. He not only cared about my nephew but also took the time to get to know my family. He wasn't judgmental at all and was always keeping in contact with us to make sure we always knew what was happening. He went above and beyond to make sure that he represented him with incredible integrity, tenacity and compassion. He is a true role model for my nephew and he didn't just look at the crime he committed, he worked with him to encourage and teach him that there is so much potential in him to become a better individual and to make good choices in life. He gave him books to read to learn how to turn his life around and uplifted him and gave him the hope that he can better himself and learn from his mistakes. Even when there was anxiety and fear from the uncertainty of what was going to happen, Joe was always there for all of us to listen and answer all of our questions. He was always honest with us and gave us the reassurance that he will work as hard as he can to get the best outcome as possible and there was never a doubt in my mind that he would accomplish that. Joe is truly one of a kind and the whole time we were going through this terrifying experience, I had comfort in knowing that we had Joe on our side. I always felt comfortable when venting to him or asking him any questions because he was always so considerate and understanding of our need for answers. Thank you again Joe from bottom of my heart for what you have done for me and my family! We know we still have a difficult road ahead with our nephew and a lot of healing to do but just knowing we have you in our life makes the journey easier.
