Joseph A. Bugni

To be honest, I have never had a need for a lawyer of any kind until recently. And to be more honest I wasn’t sure if Mr. Bugni was there for me or there for his job. Before I go on with this review, I must tell you that I trust NO one and I believe that everyone is out for themselves and if you gi...ve someone too much information about about yourself they will take it and use it against at some point in your life. So with knowing that you can see why at first I was thinking that Mr. Bugni/Public Defender was just there doing his job. I mean really he sees how many clients a day and speaks to hundreds; he isn’t going to care about my case. But with our first one on one phone conversation he made feel like he was listening and not just there judging and he continued to help me understand the system and everything about it. By the time we had my first court appearance he had shown that he was fighting the good fight and he was there for me. He explained everything that was happening at the time and what was going to happen in the future. He spoke to me as if I was an equal not a person in trouble. He was very honest (which is hard to find in anyone) with every detail of my case and I never once felt like he was against me. I was told by other people to hire a lawyer instead of going with a public defender, because I would be better off spending money on someone that was going to fight for me. I left my last day in court knowing that Mr. Bugni did fight for me; I have no regrets choosing Mr. Bugni to defend me. I know I will never need Mr. Bugni again in my future, but if you are reading this and you are thinking about hiring a lawyer I would tell you that will not find one better than Mr. Bugni.

At the age of 21 trouble came my way. I was in unhealthy relationship with my daughter father and I was looking at 4 years in prison at one point until Mr. Bugni came into my life. He called me in county jail and I wouldn't open up because how did I know I could trust him. Then couple days after that... he came in saw me and promise me that he'll get me out to my daughter. He did. I would go to his office and his home for hours and go over my case. Finally after he told me "I believe you" I knew I could trust him. He was always straight forward with me. He put me on a path back to God. Help me be a better parent to my daughter. Made me notice how much I'm worth. When I got sentence I remember sitting there praying with him while the judge was telling me what he thinks I deserve. I sign a plea of a year and a day. Judge gave me 6 months. Mr. Bugni jump through hoops for me and my family to make sure that I was fine. I was a very hurt and angry person before I met him. This man save my life. If I never would of did what I did I could of been a very hurt young lady that wouldn't trust anyone. He made me open my eyes to life and to never take life for granted. Whoever has him as their attorney they're a very lucky person. This man will change their life for the best. He believe in me when I didn't. He showed me it's okay to ask for help and to forgive. Just be ready to read a lot, journal, be on the path of God, and have a friendship that doesn't end after your case is close. I know I said this a million times already but thank you Mr. Bugni you truly saved me. Thanks, Lindsey Fischer

Joe Bugni came into my life at its lowest point. I was confined to the County Jail, and I was filled with fear, guilt, and hopelessness. Somehow, in the midst of all that sorrow, Joe brought me peace, understanding, and above all – hope. I felt as though my life was over, but Joe convinced me to look... beyond the current situation to see the life I could still live. He treated me like a human being, worth saving. He encouraged me constantly, but tempered it with a reality of the potential outcomes. Joe was always available to me within reason, willing to talk and visit with me when he could. And meanwhile, he was fighting hard to save me. His tireless efforts to defend me and set me free were successful. But even if the outcome was not so favorable, my respect, admiration, and gratitude toward Joe would be just as strong. I had never felt such confidence that another man truly cared about me as a person, and about doing everything he possibly could to achieve a just result on my behalf. Since representing me in a Federal Courtroom, Joe Bugni has remained in my life. We have bonded through the faith which I once lacked, that he brought to me in a jail cell, and which we now share. It was an honor to have Joe present at my wedding last year, which he amazingly predicted during my confinement. My wife and I helped his family move to a new home last Winter. I don’t expect it would be possible for Joe to form a meaningful friendship with all of his clients outside the courtroom, but the fact that he is willing to do so demonstrates what a remarkable man he is. He is just as concerned with producing a favorable result in court as he is with having a lasting impact on his clients’ lives. And there is no doubt that he has done both for me. Joe has had a life-changing impact on my life, and I would recommend his services to anyone in need.

Attorney Joe Bugni was my sole champion in my darkest hour of need. He exhausted every aspect and factor relating and surrounding my case while also taking a very personal interest and concern into my well being throughout the entire process. He became a very close and trusted friend that I have no d...oubt saved the course of the rest of my life and that of my family. He would be the only person I consult or recommend when it matters the most.

I would highly recommend Mr. Joseph Bugni for anybody seeking defense counsel. I had an extremely serious situation and was very afraid of what the outcome could be. Mr. Bugni had studied my case thoroughly before our meeting. He did not care about his vacations and had came earlier just because i ha...d a conversation with him and he knew i was very upset. He promised me that everything will be alright and that actually happened. He is responsive, aggressive, understanding, professional, and exceptionally competent. I always felt the utmost confidence in him. He actually cares for you and listens to everything you have to say. He does ask you intelligent questions. He was not judgmental and never criticized about any fact. All he wants is honesty about everything as he does not want any surprises at the end. The more i say about Mr Bugni, the less it is, and that says a lot about why one would want him on their defense. ps, i am still in touch with him even though my case was dismissed.
