About

I handle cases which involve serious personal injury and wrongful death. I invest tremendous time, energy and resources in every one of my cases. I take the time to meet with my clients and to listen to them. I use innovative action-based techniques which allow me to get to know my clients' stories - their lives, the effects of their injuries, their personhood. This, in turn, allows me to tell and show the jury the truth of my clients' story in a straightforward and honest way. I screen many cases but accept only a few in order to fully and completely dedicate myself to each case. Frequently I am associated into cases by other attorneys. I am Board Certified as a Specialist in Civil Trials. I am rated by Martindale-Hubbell as AV Preeminent. From 2005 to 2015 I was on the Board of Directors of Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College. I am a member of the American Bar Association, Connecticut Bar Association, Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association, New Haven County Bar Association, the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Form, The National Trial Lawyers and the Black War Bonnet Society.

James J. Nugent went to work for me after I suffered serious injuries in a horrific car crash. He and his team fought for me every step of the way when I needed help the most. The results were the best possible. I highly recommend James J. Nugent.

I was involved in a major car accident. I had no idea what to do. Medical bills were piling up. I was hurting. I couldn't go to work. My car was totaled. Thankfully I had Jim Nugent to help me through this ordeal. Jim Nugent, Julie Nugent and Cameron were great. Nugent Lawyers is the best car accident law firm in New Haven, Connecticut. Thanks for all your hard work. They answered all my questions, fought hard against the insurance company and got me a wonderful result. I highly recommend them. Honest, hard working and smart.

After being rear ended and sustaining multiple injuries, my health insurance company was contacting me, asking for my lawyer. At the time I was focused on my recovery but realized I also needed a lawyer. I interviewed four different lawyers, and I am more than satisfied with my decision to use Attorney Nugent and his team. They were professional, courteous and incredibly dilligent in making sure I received as much compensation as possible, yet their key focus was my recovery and well being. I'd been hesitant to use a law firm; I just wanted to get better but during the process was dealing with calls from my health insurance company. I am impressed with all they did and how easy they made what could've been a difficult, frustrating process. With their support and help, I was able to focus on my physical recovery while they dealt with the insurance companies and paperwork. Throughout this process, Attorney Nugent and his team were incredibly supportive, helpful, and understanding - making a very frustrating and difficult situation manageable. Being injured, confused and dealing with this situation, they exceeded expectations handling everything and clearly communicating the steps, timing and expectations along the way. Although I hope it's not needed in the future, if it was, I'd happily have them represent me again.

I was involved in a serious drunk driving accident and Jim and his team were there for me through every step of the process. Given I had never been involved in a situation like this before, I had no idea what to expect, but from the moment I began working with Jim and his team, I had never felt so supported and protected - they walked me through every detail, prepared me from all aspects, and were very upfront and open about everything. I am very glad, grateful and proud to say they represented me during this bad time in my life and I wouldn't wish it any differently. I highly recommend Jim and his team - hands down.

Thank you Jim Nugent and your legal team. Jim and his team helped me through a very difficult tragedy in my life. I was on my motorcycle when I was hit from behind at a traffic light. I was overwhelmed with medical bills, I couldn't work and my bike was ruined. My real estate lawyer referred me to Jim. I'm glad he did. His team hired all the necessary experts. Jim fought and won against two insurance companies who rightfully owed me compensation but did not want to pay. I couldn't be happier. If you hire the right lawyer who is willing to spend his valuable time and hard earned money on your case fighting for you, good things will happen. Be sure to have Jim and his team working for you.

I was involved in a big car crash. The lady who hit me was arrested. She gave the prosecutor a fraudulent letter from an insurance company claiming she was insured. She was not. Jim Nugent went to Court and made sure she got a taste of justice. Then Jim was able to get my insurance company to pay me all of the money available under my policy - which I didn't even know I had. Thank you Jim and Julie and your team. I was afraid I would get nothing but a smashed up car and a bunch of medical bills from this car accident, but thanks to Jim I was able to get the money I deserved. Justice tastes sweet when you are in the right. Thank you!

My first experience with any attorney was with Jim and his legal team. Jim did a wonderful job of keeping me well educated on the legal process. I was involved in an accident that both hurt me mentally and physically. Jim and his team went above and beyond to support me during a challenging time, and ensured I was compensated for my injury.

I was recommended by my brother to contact Jim & Julie Nugent after I was in a major car crash on I91. The insurance company forced us to go to trial in New Haven Superior Court. Jim and Julie had me fully prepared to testify. We won! I highly recommend if you have been seriously injured in a car crash, call Nugent Lawyers!
