Joseph A. Bugni

I watched Joe at work recently in a very important case in Racine, WI. Joe was nothing short of amazing. His knowledge of the law was impressive, and he was able to work around some roadblocks that were placed by the prosecution team and occasionally the judge. Joe was very respectful to all parti...es involved but still firm and commanding when speaking. He seems to know when to dial it up and when to ride things out. I would not hesitate to hire Joe for any legal matters, and I already have a case I will have to reach out to him with. I don't know a lot about Joe's life outside of his profession, but in the 2 days I watched him help my friend, I know that Joe would be the kind of guy I'd enjoy a pick up basketball game or bbq cookout with. I have the impression that he's just a heck of a nice man and seems to have great personal and family values. Joe is top notch! He ran circles around the state's best attorneys!

Joseph A. Bugni of Hurley Burish S.C. is currently representing my husband in a sentence modification/sentence adjustment matter, and his willingness to take our case meant more to me than I can put into words. From the very beginning, he has been responsive, compassionate, and professional — consist...ently returning calls and emails the same day, which has made an enormous difference during an incredibly stressful time. He listens, explains things clearly, and treats our family with respect. Having him on our side has given us real hope and confidence. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I never needed a criminal defense attorney in my life. Until I did. I am eternally grateful for Joe Bugni. He is the kind of exceptional human being that movies are made about. He’s a hero that seems too good to be true, but he is. He is a real person - who demonstrated, in my every contact with him..., kindness, hard work, and brilliance. Kindness I met Attorney Bugni during the most difficult time of my life. From the start and always, he was non-judgmental, thoughtful, and curious about who I was as a person. He gave me space to share my point of view, he asked helpful questions, and he always took the time to make sure mine were answered as well. We met in his office with his explanation and plans thoroughly diagramed on a whiteboard. We went on walks to clear our heads. He called me often just to check in and make sure I was okay. His kindness and compassion are extraordinary. Hard work Attorney Bugni couples his thoughtfulness with a zeal for doing the work. He is truly excited about legal analysis, legal research, and legal writing. He is a disciplined, meticulous, thorough advocate. He frequently took a seed of a thought and turned it into a taut, compelling work of advocacy after research, writing, and re-writing. Attorney Bugni works in concert with paralegal Trinity Northrop to produce written filings that are accurate, well-researched, easy to understand, and actually attractive, adding pull-out quotes, diagrams, tables for maximum persuasive value. Ms. Northrop is Attorney Bugni’s secret weapon. She makes what Attorney Bugni writes better. She also shares many of Attorney Bugni’s attributes. Together they will never be outworked by any adversary. Brillance Attorney Bugni is highly intelligent, but with an uncommon (among lawyers of his skill) humility. It is this combination that drives his excellence in that he tests his own arguments repeatedly for errors, assumptions, and holes. He is creative in anticipating responses to his advocacy and he has an economy of words that is refreshing. He doesn’t waste time. His work is so well-polished and prepared that he doesn’t have to say much. He is confident, but not arrogant. Now that my case is done, I would not be the positive, happy person I am today without the care and counsel of Attorney Bugni. He walked with me through every twist and turn. He became a friend while maintaining professionalism. He took calls from people close to me. He spent untold hours helping me not only get past the case against me, but also making sure that I was okay, that I had support from family and friends, and that I have a future. He is my hero. I cannot thank him enough.

I want everyone to know how amazing Joe A. Bugni is. I received a letter from Hurley Burish stating the conclusion of Joe Bugni's work with me months ago. When it came time for the restitution to show paid through the courts I freaked out that it didn't clear. I reached out via text and email and ...he responded rapidly again even long after he was done. He could have asked to charge this, but he is truly an honorable Man trying to do right by everyone. I would not hesitate to hire him again. Pray that I never need to. He is truly in your corner from start to finish.

If you take the time to read all of Joe’s’ reviews you will see the the common theme is that he is a very compassionate, smart and truly caring lawyer. Ive known Joe for over a decade in a professional capacity and have watched him hard at work in his craft. I’ve seen what everyone else writes about ...him but I’ve also come to know Joe as an amazing human being! My son fights addiction issues and found himself in a tough spot. I reached out to Joe for help and he and the firm didn’t hesitate to jump in with his support, knowledge and most importantly, his caring words and personality. It was one of the hardest times in my family’s life but Joe and his assistant, Trinity stepped up took the reins and started navigating us out of a really dark place. Joe and Trinity worked hard to find my son not only a solution to his legal problems but they were right there with me to help him find the care he needed with his recovery and rehabilitation. Joe took the time to talk to my son, like he was his family not just a client, about his future. Joe even set up meetings with military recruiters to give my son a different perspective on what possibilities were out there. Joe is one of the most compassionate and truly caring men I’ve ever met. I’ve seen him in action for many years in the courtroom. His knowledge of the law and his ability to argue the law and get people to listen and “hear” him is unmatched. Go watch him in action and find out for yourself!! Thank you Joe, for being you. Thank you Trinity for keeping Joe straight and helping him be him.
