Joseph A. Bugni

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.

With a lawyer like Attorney Bugni on your side you can't lose, he was a bright light in a dark tunnel. He made sure that I knew step by step what needed to be done, how it needed to be done, what he had to do and what I needed to do as far as showing the courts that my intentions were pure and just.... He went above and beyond, he would visit me in jail after office hours, it did not matter to him what time it was. When ever I or my family called upon him, he would talk to us and if need be return our phone calls no matter the time. I would say it was like divine intervention, that God and the angels knew that I was losing all hope of ever getting out of jail, and then God sent me Attorney Bugni and it was like a second hail mary. I would again thank him for getting me out of jail, and letting the courts see that your faith and trust in me was well deserved. I wouldn't hesitate to say everyone needs a lawyer like him, a lawyer that is willing to fight for your freedom.

My case was one that I don't wish on my worst enemy. The type of case that you are judge and convicted before the trial has begun. Judge not only by the state but in many cases you attorneys. I was wrongfully convicted and sentence to 20 years in prison with an additional 10 years extended supervi...sion back in 2008. A wrongful conviction due to the incompetence and mediocre legal representation. I spend almost 13 years fighting my conviction and my innocence. From Circuit Court to Appeals Court, to Supreme Court, over and over again. Countless motions, and countless attorneys to no end. Attorneys that at the end were more worry about their image and gain than the fighting for their client and the pursue of truth and innocence. It was then that I decided to appeal the decision to the Federal Court. That was probably the best decision I ever made. The petition was accepted, and the Federal Judge appointed Joseph Bugni to represent me during the motion, because its complexity. So, based on the past experience with appointed attorneys, my hopes went down ones again. So, it is hard to put into word and appraised an attorney after going over countless attorneys that only care about ratings, money, and political advances. That is something I thought I would never do. In my opinion they were all a dime a dozen. But to my surprise I was wrong. From the beginning attorney Joseph Bugni took the time to listen and did not judge me like all others. He made me feel like someone was on my side, and he proved that over and over again. He always went far and beyond, he always kept me in the loop, and always answer and communicated with me and my wife which gave us hopes. In court he was calm, knowledgeable, and professional. He knew what to say, who to hire, and what to do. He was always prepared for whatever the state might throw a us. He was always on time and always found a way to say the right thing to maintained me calm, in all very hectic and stressful case. After two years of countless motions the Federal Judge rule in my favor and re sent my case back to circuit court, and even when that would have been the end of his job, he continued his involvement in my case. He helped facilitated the appointment of a great attorney that with his help had the conviction overturned at the circuit level and affirmed at the Appeal level. He was also involved on all motions and willing to assist my state attorney at all levels. I am now out on bail and in the process of retaining an attorney to represent me once again in the event the state decided to do a retrial. Joseph is still helping me in the process. I owe him my current freedom and will always be grateful for all he has done for me and my family, for how hard he worked on my case, for believing in me, and once again giving hope to a family that was no more. If anyone has the opportunity to have him as an attorney rest assure that he is more than. He will battle, he will fight for you and your rights, he will take the time to prepare and listen, and will go over and above expectations. Joseph is my attorney but more than that my friend and I will forever be in his debt. I can only say thank you for taking time, believing in me, and doing your best always.
