federal case

Wally and his staff helped fight my case for over 5 years while i was under indictment..they dedicated tremendous energy to interviewing my employees, understanding all our business practices, getting private investigators involved and then going the extra distance by treating myself and other import...ant people in my life as family...sindra has been an incredible support at the office when i needed quick answers to ease my stress..thank you wally and to all the staff over there in handling a long case and getting me an amazing outcome...and just going above and beyond expectations!!! thank you

Very Organized & Extremely Professional

I hired Walter Bugden to represent me and my family on a very difficult case. His team worked very closely with my wife and I and paid very close attention to detail. He was on top of the process and pushed the case through faster than expected. I would strongly recommend Mr. Bugden to anyone looking... for an Attorny that truly cares about clients. My case was all over the news and very humiliating to not only myself but also my family. I ended up serving a small jail sentence and pleading guilty to a misdeameanor rather than a felony and possibly years in prison. He was also very good with my family. Highly recommemded.

Best Attorney!

I would highly recommend Mr. Bugden for any legal services. He did an outstanding job for me and my family. He cares about his client and wants to do the best job he possibly can. Mr. Bugden takes the time on your case and looks at every angle and every issue that is involved in the situation. He wor...ks well with the prosecution team and the judge on his clients behalf. I have used other attorneys in the past and none of them compared to the services I received from Mr Bugden. When your looking at prison or jail time you need someone good in your corner. Mr Bugden is the attorney you want in your corner!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
