Hurley Burish, S.C.

Firstly, I would like to say that Mr. Joseph Bugni is an incredible attorney, father, and a true gentleman. When things began to take a turn in my life, and I needed someone to shepherd me through the difficulties of the legal system, I knew I needed to reach out to Joseph Bugni. He came highly recommended to me by a former colleague and friend of his. Joseph was quick to take up my challenges and help me through them immediately. I knew that once I had him on my side, things would, and did get better! Joseph Bugni and his entire team, Trinity the paralegal extraordinaire, and Sophia who is the face of the operation, along with the entire Hurley Burish staff were exceptional. Their professionalism, expertise, experience, and most importantly, their competence were excellent in helping me through these difficult days. I am confident that there is not a better attorney and legal team available to you than Jospeh Bugni and Hurley Burish! In closing, as I've said before, I cannot recommend them to you enough if you're also facing serious difficulties in your life. You will be heard, taken care of, and will come to call Mr. Bugni a dear friend. So please do yourself a favor and hire this legal team if you're ever facing a challenge in your life. You won't regret it.

Where can I begin? I cannot remember a time in my life when I have been so fortunate to have met a person, let alone a team. Easy, professional, direct, confident, and successful. The reception team is welcoming and informative. The paralegals are a blur of getting the information we need, at the right place, and at the right time. The attorneys are miracle workers. Joe Bugni is the type of guy you would want to be the Godfather of your children. Skylar Croy has a military background and I honestly think the guy is a genius; every level of detail is covered. Is it too much to call Skylar inspirational? (No.) Let me tell you about miracle worker #3, Cricket Beeson: She had 10 minutes prep and came away with the "W." If you want to meet Superwoman without her cape, meet with Cricket. Thinking on her feet in an impossible situation doesn't even begin to cover what I witnessed her do. All I can do is humbly say, "Thank You." Hurley Burish treated me like a person, and we came away with the win.

We had a great experience working with this law firm. From start to finish, the team was professional, responsive, and truly cared about my case. Jenny and Madeline were especially helpful throughout the process, they kept me informed, answered all my questions, and made what could have been a stressful situation feel much more manageable. Joe was also a tremendous help. I really appreciated the clear communication and the level of dedication the entire team showed. I’m very grateful for their hard work and would absolutely recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I recently had an initial consultation with Joe Bugni, and I was thoroughly impressed by his concern and compassion from the very start. When I called to schedule the consultation, we initially set it for next week. However, Joe paused and said, "Let me move some things around and get you in this week so you don't have to worry those extra days." This gesture alone showed his dedication to his clients' peace of mind. During our meeting, Joe made me feel like there was nothing more important than listening to my story. He asked insightful questions and offered reassurance where he could. He has a reputation as the attorney that other attorneys don't want to go up against - so having a champion like Joe, who is also kind, concerned, and caring, is invaluable. I'm hoping my situation won't end up with the need to call on Joe to defend me - but I am so very glad to know that I can. Edited to add: Dealing with a serious legal issue can be terrifying - at least it was for me. If you're in that situation, run - don't walk - to Hurley Burish! I initially met with Joe Bugni, who really listened to my story and let me know that I was entirely understood and my case would be a good one for this firm. When I signed on as a client, I was represented by the brilliant team of attorney Cricket Beeson and paralegal Yvonne Geertz; with invaluable additional help from Peyton Engel, Stephen Hurley, and Andy Erlandson. Cricket and Yvonne absolutely worked their butts off for me and, at trial, secured the best outcome we could have hoped for. In the process, they showed tremendous empathy, and I found their explanations of what was happening very accessible and reassuring. They are absolutely my heroes. If you need a lawyer, go to Hurley Burish!

I couldn’t recommend Joe Bugni enough!! I had a very complex and unique case come unexpectedly and found a true gem like Joseph Bugni. He took the time to research my case, taking into consideration my personal situation and was in constant communication with me. Joe ensured my case was handled with the highest standard of attention and was always available if I had any questions or doubts. I am forever grateful to have met Joe, his constant reassurance eased my nerves and he quickly has become someone I see as family. I’d recommend to anyone who wants a knowledgeable lawyer who also treats you with empathy and respect. Again, thank you so much Joe for being a light to guide me and my family during this difficult time.

I cannot recommend Joe Bugni highly enough. He handled my father’s extremely complex case with exceptional care, strategic thinking, and professionalism from start to finish. Joe took the time to walk our family through every step of the process, clearly explaining each decision point and all possible outcomes so we always felt informed and confident in the strategy. He was incredibly thorough and even brought in outside experts to ensure every angle was covered and nothing was overlooked. What truly sets Joe apart is his empathy and emotional intelligence. He understood the stress and challenges our family was facing and treated us with genuine care and respect throughout the entire case. He was always available to answer questions and took the time to explain everything in a way we could understand. His team was also excellent—responsive, supportive, and very helpful, even through a language barrier. Joe is extremely knowledgeable, strategic, and deeply committed to his clients. If you need an attorney who combines top-tier legal skill with compassion and dedication, I would recommend Joe Bugni without hesitation.

I cannot recommend Joe Bugni enough. Before working with Joe, I felt unheard and unrepresented, even though I had previously retained another attorney. Finding Joe and his paralegal, Trinity, was truly a blessing. From the very start, I felt genuinely heard, supported, and understood. During what was one of the darkest times of my life, when I felt stuck and my life was on hold, Joe and Trinity’s efficiency, empathy, and diligence made an overwhelming process manageable. Trinity, in particular, was incredibly detail-oriented and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I truly feel that Joe Bugni saved my life. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, they accomplished more in the time I worked with them than I had ever experienced with others. I am beyond grateful for Joe and Trinity—their compassion, professionalism, and unwavering support carried me through something I thought would never be resolved. If you want a team that listens, acts efficiently, and truly cares, Joe Bugni and Trinity are the ones to trust.

Hurley Burish is a great firm. All staff members are friendly and kind from the moment you walk in. Attorney Joe Bugni is incredibly generous and helpful as a mentor to law students, and it is obvious that he is extremely passionate and dedicated to his work. Paralegal Trinity is super nice and helpful and is prompt with her response time!

I cannot recommend Hurley Burish highly enough. From the initial consultation through resolution, the level of professionalism, communication, and attention to detail exceeded all expectations. The team was consistently responsive, proactive, and thorough, ensuring that nothing was overlooked at any stage of the process. Joe Bugni and Skylar Croy were exceptional to work with. Their knowledge, diligence, and genuine commitment made a meaningful difference for my family. They took the time to fully understand our situation, explained every step clearly, and followed up regularly, which provided reassurance and confidence during what could have been a very stressful experience. Thanks to their efficiency, expertise, and dedication, we achieved a positive outcome in a remarkably quick timeframe. Their professionalism and care went beyond standard service—they truly advocated for my family’s best interests. Hurley Burish sets the standard for outstanding legal representation, and I would strongly recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking trustworthy, results-driven, and client-focused service.

Joe Bugni is seriously THE BEST. Compassionate, caring, kind, thoughtful, and an expert in his field. You are more than a client to him - in fact, he is your friend - and a fellow human being who is dedicated to best representing you and your circumstances. And his paralegal Trinity is a great asset to his team. HIGHLY recommended.

Joseph A. Bugni of Hurley Burish S.C. is currently representing my husband in a sentence modification/sentence adjustment matter, and his willingness to take our case meant more to me than I can put into words. From the very beginning, he has been responsive, compassionate, and professional — consistently returning calls and emails the same day, which has made an enormous difference during an incredibly stressful time. He listens, explains things clearly, and treats our family with respect. Having him on our side has given us real hope and confidence. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Huge shoutout to David Saperstein for handling my case!! Very professional, kept me informed through the entire process, and went above and beyond to get me taken care of!! Thank you Hurley Burish and the team.

For a number of years, my husband and I have been discussing a project that would require knowledge and expertise in areas where our own experience was limited. The need for legal assistance had long been obvious to us, but efforts to find that legal help was repeatedly met with disinterest. We were on the verge of giving up when a friend recommended Hurley Burish. My husband contacted the firm and met with Joseph Bugni to discuss our needs. Mr. Bugni understood the proposed project and felt that Hurley Burish could assist us. This was our first, very positive interaction with Hurley Burish. We have since met with John Talis, with whom we discussed the project in greater detail. Together we reviewed various options on how work would proceed and how we would handle the required formal steps that would come next. As part of that, one of the firm’s paralegals would be involved in the process. Mr. Talis continued communication with us and connected my husband with Ms. Corisa Thiede, who has been providing extraordinary detailed assistance and encouragement at each step as we move forward. She has offered expert help to us as needed and has shown great patience as we work on completing and submitting required applications and legal forms. We finally feel that our project has the added support needed and is moving in a positive direction thanks to the competence of Ms. Thiede and Mr. Talis. Thanks to these three individuals, we would not hesitate to recommend Hurley Burish.

A search for legal assistance regarding a complex and intertwined set of personal, business and financial issues finally led me to Hurley Burish where I had an initial meeting with with Joseph Bugni. Mr Bugni quickly understood what others had failed to grasp and suggested alternatives to my plan. These changes seem obvious now but had not been part of the conversation elsewhere. My issues were assigned to John Talis who continued to help me outline my needs and further given to Corisa Thiede. Ms. Thiede patiently helped me slog through multiple details and a seemingly endless list of necessary documents. Meeting Ms. Thiede in person reinforced and amplified the impressions made in email and telephone exchanges. She is intelligent, dedicated, alert, personable, and willing to explain even the smallest details, when needed. I am completely confident that all the legal aspects of our project are in perfect order due to Ms. Thiede’s diligence. Based on this experience, I highly recommend Hurley Burish to anyone needing legal advice or service.

Delaney and Olivia did an awesome job of getting both our trusts completed in a week. We are very grateful for their professionalism, knowledge and assistance. Highly recommend them!

I never needed a criminal defense attorney in my life. Until I did. I am eternally grateful for Joe Bugni. He is the kind of exceptional human being that movies are made about. He’s a hero that seems too good to be true, but he is. He is a real person - who demonstrated, in my every contact with him, kindness, hard work, and brilliance. Kindness I met Attorney Bugni during the most difficult time of my life. From the start and always, he was non-judgmental, thoughtful, and curious about who I was as a person. He gave me space to share my point of view, he asked helpful questions, and he always took the time to make sure mine were answered as well. We met in his office with his explanation and plans thoroughly diagramed on a whiteboard. We went on walks to clear our heads. He called me often just to check in and make sure I was okay. His kindness and compassion are extraordinary. Hard work Attorney Bugni couples his thoughtfulness with a zeal for doing the work. He is truly excited about legal analysis, legal research, and legal writing. He is a disciplined, meticulous, thorough advocate. He frequently took a seed of a thought and turned it into a taut, compelling work of advocacy after research, writing, and re-writing. Attorney Bugni works in concert with paralegal Trinity Northrop to produce written filings that are accurate, well-researched, easy to understand, and actually attractive, adding pull-out quotes, diagrams, tables for maximum persuasive value. Ms. Northrop is Attorney Bugni’s secret weapon. She makes what Attorney Bugni writes better. She also shares many of Attorney Bugni’s attributes. Together they will never be outworked by any adversary. Brillance Attorney Bugni is highly intelligent, but with an uncommon (among lawyers of his skill) humility. It is this combination that drives his excellence in that he tests his own arguments repeatedly for errors, assumptions, and holes. He is creative in anticipating responses to his advocacy and he has an economy of words that is refreshing. He doesn’t waste time. His work is so well-polished and prepared that he doesn’t have to say much. He is confident, but not arrogant. Now that my case is done, I would not be the positive, happy person I am today without the care and counsel of Attorney Bugni. He walked with me through every twist and turn. He became a friend while maintaining professionalism. He took calls from people close to me. He spent untold hours helping me not only get past the case against me, but also making sure that I was okay, that I had support from family and friends, and that I have a future. He is my hero. I cannot thank him enough.
