Kind and Passionate

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.

The best team around!!!

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.
