About The Kugel Law Firm
The Kugel Law Firm works from Gateway Ctr in Newark, with a second office in Manhattan, and names no attorney on the pages we could reach.
166 reviews at 4.9 across two listings. A free consultation and pages in Spanish, published. It publishes nothing about the rate or the retainer.
What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
4.9 average over 166 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.
Service in Spanish
Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.

Frequently asked questions
How much does The Kugel Law Firm charge?
The Kugel Law Firm publishes no fee terms on the pages we read, so none is recorded on this profile. An absence here is not a claim that the firm has no fee arrangement, only that it does not state one publicly. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.
Does The Kugel Law Firm offer a free consultation?
Yes. The Kugel Law Firm publishes a free initial consultation. It publishes material in Spanish.
Where does The Kugel Law Firm have offices?
The Kugel Law Firm publishes two offices, in Newark and Manhattan. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at The Kugel Law Firm?
The Kugel Law Firm names no attorney on the public pages we could read. That is a gap in what the firm publishes rather than a statement about who works there, and it is why the licensure and discipline checks on this profile have nothing to run against.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about The Kugel Law Firm?
The Kugel Law Firm scores 43 and sits at Listed. Passed: entity registration and footprint. Did not pass: website. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure and discipline. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
