Walter F Bugden Jr

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

I enlisted Wally to defend my nephew on a DUI and drug possession charge. The facts were stacked against my nephew but since he is young and these charges could severely impact his future, I knew we had to fight it. Upon meeting Wally and his team, they very clearly explained their strategy and set... realistic expectations. I have dealt with many attorneys in my professional life, in fact one of my business attorneys was the person who highly recommended Wally. I very much appreciated how matter of fact and to the point Wally was; it became apparent to me that his best assets were his extensive experience with the UT court system, keen legal acumen and strong litigation/negotiation skills. The bottom line; Wally though his efforts and incredible attention to detail reduced the DUI to impaired driving with a $500 fine. And the possession charge was reduced to a misdemeanor with a plea in abeyance and no fine. He was also able to reduce the time my nephew's license was suspended. This outcome was far beyond my best case expectation. As for Wally and his team, all in a days work. If you're looking for a highly ethical and competent criminal attorney who will communicate with you very efficiently, Wally and his team will exceed your expectations. I can't thank him enough for his assistance. He almost made the experience a pleasure; I'm sure it would have been under different circumstances.

Wally was my attorney for a federal white collar criminal case in 2013. The outcome was excellent thanks to Wally's ability to speak with the prosecutors and other attorneys involved in the case. I like him because he is a straight shooter, experienced, respectful of client resources (i.e. very cons...cientious about trying to save me money), and realistic. He will not blow smoke and tells you how it is. He also knows criminal law and has relationships with many of the government prosecutors and other attorneys--this can be invaluable when trying to work out a deal or get information. Because of Wally's light touch and ability to speak with the other side, my restitution order was set aside and the case resolved favorably. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others facing either state or federal criminal accusations.

My wife and I recently received a phone call that no parent wants to receive, our child was arrested for felony criminal charges. If found guilty, our child would go to prison. After extensive research on identifying the best attorney to represent our child, including referrals from prosecuting a...ttorneys not associated with this case, we were able identify Wally as the best person to help us out. Over the next several months, Wally diligently helped us to resolve this criminal matter, achieving the best legal result possible, including: the avoidance of incarceration, the elimination of the felony charges and providing us with the opportunity to get our child the help that was truly needed. This was our first experience with the criminal justice system, a period of time when we were concerned about the safety and well being of our child while we also needed to navigate the judicial system. During the entire process, Wally was very empathetic to our situation, educating us on this area of the law, providing us with all of the various options that existed, keeping us 100% updated on all progress/efforts being made and then, but of course, ultimately giving us his winning strategy and recommendations. At the same time, Wally always showed genuine concern for our child, consistently advocating and advancing positions that would help us all make certain that this type of arrest would never occur again.
