Posted by Mark | March 21, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Teacher

Something I never expected and didn't know my options or how to handle, but after a short phone call, I was assured he had my best interest in hand. Probably the easiest Bankruptcy/Divorce combo I've heard of. And also the best money I ever spent. Thank you Mark

Posted by anonymous | June 12, 2018 | Bankruptcy & Debt

Excellent guy, and great advice!

I just called Mark with a couple of questions regarding a relatively small debt. Mark was to the point and told me that there wasn't much he could do, but still took the time to provide relevant, useful information for free! Definitely an upstanding lawyer.

Posted by anonymous | December 12, 2016

Awesome

He answered his own phone. Gave his the basic information and he quickly told me how to handle the issue and it was resolved with no office visit and no cost to my family! Very grateful for his help.

Posted by Donna | June 08, 2014 | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Rhode Islands best bankruptcy Attorney

I 100% recommend Attorney Buckley. He is honest, very knowledgeable, quick to respond and never rushes you, ever. If you need 100 questions answered, Attorney Buckey will answer every single one and not let the conversation end until all of your questions are answered fully and thoroughly. This wa...s a very difficult and stressful decision to make to file Chapter 7. Attorney Buckley made what could've been a very stressful process go seamlessly. I am very difficult to please, so to give 5 stars across the board is huge for me. I have absolutely no complaints. Only praise! His prices are up front and fair. I actually told my husband I was shocked he doesn't charge more. Bottom line, if you are in the difficult situation of possible bankruptcy, do yourself a favor and call Attorney Buckley. I couldn't be more thankful for the professional, non judgemental and knowledgable service he provided.

Best Attorney I have ever dealt with!

Attorney Buckley made the process of filing chapter 7 stress free! He answered every question I had, honestly and completely. Anytime I had to contact him he answered his phone right away or returned emails so quickly! I never felt rushed. He is very knowledgeable in state and Federal bankruptcy l...aws. Attorney Buckley also helped me with lifting a lien that had been placed on my home. If you find yourself in the difficult position of facing bankruptcy, do yourself a favor and call Attorney Buckley. He is upfront about all fees, he is very honest and He keeps you informed throughout the entire process. I was embarrassed and stressed about having to file chapter 7. Attorney Buckley made the process go smoothly.
