About Juan Puga Nieto

When Baltimore residents are hurt through no fault of their own, Juan Puga Nieto is the kind of attorney who treats their fight as his own. An Associate Attorney with Saiontz & Kirk, P.A., one of Maryland's most respected and established personal injury firms, Juan brings energy, conviction, and a deep sense of community to every client he serves. He is part of a practice that has spent decades standing up for injured individuals, and he carries that legacy forward with a fresh, client-first dedication.

Juan focuses his practice on personal injury matters, helping people harmed in car and motor-vehicle collisions, medical negligence cases, and claims involving dangerous and defective products. A Baltimore City resident himself and a daily cyclist, Juan understands on a personal level the very real risks that drivers, pedestrians, and vulnerable road users face every day. That firsthand perspective fuels his advocacy and his thoughtful commentary on the issues that matter most to injured Marylanders, including the state's demanding contributory negligence rules that can make full and fair recovery so challenging for accident victims.

A graduate of the University of Baltimore School of Law, Juan combines strong legal training with a genuine commitment to the people of his community. He believes that injured clients deserve more than a case number; they deserve an attorney who listens, who explains the process clearly, and who is willing to push hard against insurance companies that would rather minimize or deny a valid claim. At Saiontz & Kirk, where cases are handled on a contingency basis, Juan and his colleagues ensure that quality representation is never out of reach, because clients owe nothing unless a recovery is secured on their behalf.

Clients value Juan's accessibility, his attentiveness, and his sincere desire to make a difficult time a little easier to navigate. He takes the time to understand not just the legal facts of a case but the human story behind it, recognizing how an injury can ripple through every part of a person's life and livelihood. That compassionate, detail-oriented approach reflects the firm's longstanding philosophy of putting injured people first.

For anyone in Baltimore searching for a personal injury attorney who is knowledgeable, approachable, and authentically invested in their community, Juan Puga Nieto is an excellent choice. He offers the reassurance of a trusted firm behind him and the personal dedication of an advocate who truly cares about the outcome for every client he represents.
