About Pugh & Pugh Attorneys at Law, P.A.

Our law firm had its origin in 1946 when R.M. Pugh, a Marine officer returning from WWII, sought a place to practice law. He learned of a law office for sale in Wamego, KS, from a law book salesman. In 1975, Edward W. Pugh (Ed), born in Wamego, Kansas, in 1949, returned to Wamego with his wife and a new law degree, both obtained at the University of Kansas. 

He joined his father in the practice of law under the new name of Pugh & Pugh Attorneys. Then Jacob Pugh (Jake), a 2002 undergraduate of the University of Kansas and a 2006 graduate of Washburn University Law School, joined the firm in 2006.

We continued as Pugh & Pugh under the theories that three “Pughs” in the name might be redundant and that there have never been more than two practicing at one time. In 2013, the firm was incorporated and became Pugh & Pugh Attorneys at Law. Seventy-five years later, the firm continues to serve generations of clients in the area with a focus on personal service.
