About Joshua Bugeja

Attorney Biography

Josh, as he's known by most people, is a Fort Smith native and first generation attorney.  He graduated from Southside High School in 2002, the University of Central Arkansas in 2006, and the University of Tulsa College of Law in 2009.  Upon graduating from law school, he returned to Fort Smith, Arkansas to be closer to his family.  After passing the Bar, he opened the Bugeja Law Firm with a single goal in mind- to provide reasonably priced, competent representation to the citizens of Arkansas.

He is licensed in every state and federal court in Arkansas, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court, and has had considerable success in multiple practice areas.  He has repeatedly been named a Top 40 Lawyer Under 40 by the American Society of Legal Advocates (years 2016-2018), a recognition less than 1.5% of all practicing attorneys in the U.S. are granted.

He is a member of several Bar associations and has been asked to speak on legal matters for both public and attorney-only engagements.

An honest lawyer and a kind man!

Didn't hesitate to give a free consultation which saved me tons of money because he was honest! A lot of the other law office I spoke with either wouldn't meet with me or wanted tons of money up front before they would even discuss whether or not I needed to hire them! Josh wasn't like that. Instead, he listened to me and told me the truth- that I could hire an attorney like him to help but that it wasn't necessary and that I probably wouldn't feel like I got my money's worth after everything was said and done. If I ever need a lawyer in the future, there's no one that I'd rather turn to. He's definitely a man of great character and integrity! #BLESSED
