Chris and Kim were amazing with attentiveness as well as kindness and response time. I’ve never dealt with any legal issues before and was very scared. They reassured me all will be okay and it was not the end of the world, although it really felt like it was crashing down. I thank them immensely for their hard work and dedication!

I met with Chris at his office. We went over my case he thought he could help and he did. He was very responsive through the whole process and told me what to expect and things went according to plan and the outcome was good.

Really wonderful to work with and Kim kept me up to date on everything. Wish it would have been under different circumstances, but it was great to meet Chris and he really seemed to care through this unfortunate process.

Mr. Bugbee ceasingly sought effective solutions to the case that kept my best interests in mind and readily informed me of his intentions and how he believed the process would unfold. His confidence, demeanor and legal knowledge were constantly evident and were monumental in creating a welcomed sense of stress relief. He was honest throughout and never left me feeling that doom was imminent. While I am certain he has a very complex caseload, I would wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need. I thank him and his office staff for a very positive experience.

I cannot thank or recommend Chris Bugbee highly enough. I have worked with some of the best attorneys in town and consider Chris at the top of the list. After receiving a DUI amidst other pending matters at the lowest point in my life. Chris and his amazing wife at Bugbee Law not only showed me compassion and grace through the process but was able to tactically give me the guidance I needed. Ultimately ending in the best possible outcome one could pray for. All of which was fueled by hard work and the right choice in counsel. Thanks to Chris and his background as a prosecutor, his understanding of both sides of the law were exactly what was needed in my darkest hours. His office was consistently professional and followed through on both the commitments made and delivered above expectations in the end. If you want results … call Chris Bugbee!! You won’t be disappointed.
