I have worked closely with Jim on a number of high profile, complex cases over the past 5 years. He is a very creative, skilled and experienced trial lawyer. All of the judges and lawyers who have worked with Jim, or have tried cases against him, or have presided over his trials or otherwise watched him in action know that he is a committed advocate, a force to be reckoned with, extremely professional, and an all-around good guy. He deserves your highest rating.

I was involved in a serious car accident. While I was waiting at a red light, a guy smashed into me. The damage to my car was significant but the damage to my body was much worse. I was uncertain what was going to happen to me. I was in a lot of pain, medical bills were piling up and I was losing time from work. A friend referred me to Jim Nugent. The one thing that stands out more than any other part of my experience having Jim represent me was the outstanding personal service he provided.
