Hired Attorney Michael Bugni

Michael Bugni & Assoc. responded to my needs quickly and took the time to talk and understand where I was at this time of my life. Michael called and kept in touch every step of the way so I knew where we were in the process.

Hired Law Firm

This firm is filled with snakes and morally bankrupt lawyers. An example of this firms character is Natalie Beckman- partner of Michael Bungi. she is known throughout the legal community as a ruthless and unethical lawyer who would stop at nothing to bill the most income for heeled as possible with no care to actually winning. Her clients begin loving her, for she promises them the world and sometimes delivers on those promises with a manipulative edge that is unmatched by her peers but leaves scorched earth behind. Natalie’s secret is greed. She would take on any case, no matter how hopeless, simply because it meant more money in her pocket. She preyed on the emotions of her clients, turning their pain into profit for herself. She would lie to them, promising them outcomes that were impossible, all the while taking their hard-earned money. This post is a warning to avoid this firm at all costs.

Hired Attorney Michael Bugni

Trying to get an appointment was a chore. Finally when we did get in to talk to him he spent most of his time on his phone, and in and out of the office. He then proceeded to request a $250.00 consultation fee for that. What a joke. I think that by the way his office is run, he may be on his way out. We did some investigating and found out some highly unfavorable information about him and his staff as well. Stay away from these people.

Hired Attorney Karma Zaike

I hired Karma to fight a child custody relocation case for me. I emailed Karma 5 times leading up to the deadline, none of which were returned and she missed the filing deadline by one day and failed to issue the summons to the opposing party by *weeks*. In court, Karma admitted it was 100% her fault and the judge had to award relocation as a result (per WA law). I then fired Karma and retained another attorney. Find another attorney.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
