Pros
1
Provided helpful information without charging a fee
“Mr. Bugeja consulted with me and gave me the information I needed to take care of my situation without having to hire him. He was generous with his time and did not charge me a penny.”
2
Excellent communication and responsiveness
“Every time I called, his assistant knew who I was and what was going on in my case. Mr. Bugeja replied to emails regularly, even on weekends most of the time, and stayed after five on at least one occasion to call me back a few days before my court date.”
3
Flexible with payment arrangements
“Most of the lawyers that I talked to about my case ignored me when I asked about making payments (one even played on his phone and wouldn't look up after). Mr. Bugeja was different- yes, he needed money up front to get started, as could be expected, but he DID work with me on payments (and was cheaper than many of the others).”
4
Knowledgeable and respected in the legal community
“When he spoke about the law, he quoted cases and rules one after the other. I felt so proud to have a smart, dedicated attorney representing me!”
5
Compassionate and understanding
“He gave me a full refund. I know that he did some work but he refused to take anything since he hadn't filed yet and understood that I was grieving the loss of the mother of my child, even if we were going to divorce.”
Cons
1
Lack of professionalism and attention to detail
“I am extremely grateful for the amount of work that Mr. Bugeja accomplished when he represented me as my attorney. What I am not grateful for is the lack of professionalism that Mr. Bugeja displayed and his lack of attention to details.”
2
Lack of advocacy for the client
“Additionally, he never put his client first and always would take the path of least resistance when it came to taking care of the client. Never challenging the prosecution or opposing attorney.”
3
Poor treatment of staff
“He treated his office staff and legal assistant with harsh words and showed no respect towards his office assistant whenever something didn't go his way, that was clearly his fault.”
4
Lack of preparation and poor relationships with legal community
“He showed zero preparation for a court hearing and missed important details that could've swung things in the other direction. He doesn't have a professional relationship with the local District Attorneys office and he is not well respected by local Judges either.”
