Peter R. Moyers

Peter is very passionate about his work. He works for the people. He can anticipate the prosecutors moves and can prepare accordingly. We always knew what to expect during the entire process. He didn't give us false hope, rather, provide all options whether good or bad so we had no surprises. Be...cause of his experience, he was able to get the truth out and my husband was found not guilty. It was a year of angst, worry and stress and with his direction, lifted that weight off our shoulders. There is no other team I would want in my corner besides Peter and Joe Bugni.

I would like to compliment my attorney, Peter Moyers, as a very perceptive and sharp attorney. He was very effective in the time of need. I would like to thank Peter, Joseph Bugni and their team for the outstanding performance. I was accused of charges that were going to subject me to 15 years to... life. Peter kept me informed of the process, what to expect and his plan. Because of his work, I was found not guilty and given a second chance at life. I will forever be thankful.

Let me start out by saying my case was extremely bizarre. The government was charging me with Nuclear Terrorism, the first time they had ever charged anyone with this offense. The entire case was bullshit. What wasn't bullshit was the representation I received. Peter saw me in the back room of th...e courthouse prior to my initial appearance. He said that he had researched me and had a lot of respect for what he saw (I was a public figure). And while he didn't agree with everything he read I had said and done before he respected it. He then went on to explain to me that simply based off the criminal complaint he could tell this case was garbage. Unlike many in the media and community he was able to see through it from day one. Over the following weeks and months we would spend upwards of 100 hours I would estimate in meetings and phone calls. He would always answer when able and regularly stopped by. Then came the motions. These were not half assed Peter put his heart and soul into them. And it showed. Several hundred of pages of briefs. And thanks to this representation I became the first person to ever beat a Federal Nuclear Terrorism charge. And believe me I am not an easy person to deal with believe me. There were many times in which I was loud, obnoxious, perhaps even profane with Peter. But he kept his cool and redirected appropriately realizing the stresses that federal cases and the injustices of them put on a person. I could tell that this was Peter's lifes work. And not because of the money. Because it is his passion, this is his life. I honestly believe no matter what the job paid this is what he would be doing. As you are upset he is genuinely upset. It was because of this passion and only because of this passion that I beat a nuclear terrorism charge. Something potentially no one else will ever do. And it was because of this representation that the government was on its heels the entire case. Thanks Peter for giving it your all and keep doing what you do!

First, let me start by saying I’m a habitual liar. I was charged with a crime that could take me away from my children’s lives for two minimums of ten (10) years. When my lawyer, Peter, first introduced himself to me, his first words were, “Hi, sorry this looks bad for you but I love my job and I pro...mise to do my best to get you home to your family.” Nice sale pitch I thought until now. He came to visit often and talked about the case. I expected that. I had lost hope and gave up. I even told my family I was offered 50 years so I could adjust my mind to doing the time (See! Habitual liar!). So much was going wrong in my life. I lost my grandmother to a drug overdose, CPS was trying to take my newborn away from my family, my favorite daughter born in November (only daughter born in November) had a miscarriage, and I was locked down 23 hours a day because I have a food allergy. I was stressed out and gave up, ready to take a plea deal just so the tax payers could take care of me for the next 10 years (just was feeling hopeless). Today, Peter came to visit me. He wanted to know how I was doing and talk about his plan. He was very confident that he will win this case. I already had my doubts. I know what the case looks like; I was living it, he was just reading about it. I know I’m capricious! He went on to say he talked with someone he would talk to if this was his family fighting this kind of case. He assured me again he is doing his best for me and to focus on thinking about anything unusual that day! Before he walked out he said, “You’re not a bad person. Let me take this to trial so you can be with your kids again.” Time went on and then he showed up on a holiday to talk about my case. My son was on life support two days earlier and we talked about that first. I asked why did he come on a holiday, he should be with his family. He said, “Karl, you have a trial coming up and also I love my job.” Growing up a mixed race boy in the projects of Chicago, not being accepted by both races. Being accused and convicted of a crime in’99 I didn’t do. Not being accepted by society when I came home. I never gave up on me before or my family or blamed any actions against me on anyone. Today Peter changed my life. He gave me hope, life, love, and fought for my freedom when I gave up on myself. Thanks! Karl M., Sr.

Life is rough, but if you stay strong things always work out in the end. My situation that led me to being represented by Joseph Bugni and Peter Moyers and “the team” was difficult. I didn’t understand why I was going through it in the beginning, but now I wouldn’t take it back for nothing in the w...orld. I have a learned a lot since then. The way they fought for me is the way a mother or father will fight for their child. I don’t think I can think them enough, but what I can say to everyone is that nobody fights like they do. The way that they fight for their clients is something unreal. His office takes more cases to trial than any federal law office I have ever heard of. When I came back from court and told my sister the good news, she cried. When a lawyer wins a case they don’t just win for their client, they win it for their family as well. The entire office is involved and made me feel like I was part of something special. After my case, I went and got on my knees and thank God for putting great people in my corner to represent me. One thing that I learned from my experience is that when you have God in your life you don’t just have him you have his people also! It is a blessing to know that in this world good people are still around. They say things happen in life for a reason, and I believe that my journey brought me to meet you guys, my wounds healed over time but my relationship with you all is forever! I remember last year for Christmas I was upset because my family was not able to come visit me, then I ended up getting a surprise visit. When I made it to the visiting room Joseph was standing there with the pictures that his kids drew for me. Every time when I felt like I was in a bad situation the team picked me up, and even the interns were special. I appreciate all they did in hours spent working on my case and talking about my life and goals even after writing this, I still don’t think I fully express my appreciation. Thank you for everything.
