Excellent Attorney

Mr. Buckman has been our personal and business attorney for nearly 15 years. It is ablity to think asymmetrical that makes him so good. He solves problems before they happen. He has handled complex and difficult matters for our businesses in several states and cities. I am not sure we would be as... successful without his counsel.

A Savvy Real Estate Attorney

Mr. Buckman has handled some of the most complex and detailed matters for me and my clients. It's his practical approach that most impresses me. His thinking out of the box is why I think he is one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with. I have implicit trust in him and his advice.

Top-notch real estate attorney

Mr. Buckman handled the conversion of two small buildings into condominiums for my limited liability company. His knowledge of how to obtain exemptions from the DC conversion tax saved me a ton of money. He has been converting buildings to condos since the 1980s and after interviewing several attor...neys, he was by far the most knowledgeable. His price was all inclusive and fair and his attention to detail was excellent. I highly recommend him.

Managing Member

Steve Buckman was extremely deligent in getting us a very difficult exemption on a real estate deal. He understands the system and works very well with people. He gets things done. We have used him in the past and will continue to use him in the future.

"Steve and I represented the seller and buyer, respectively, in a multi-million dollar commercial real estate transaction. His many years of experience were evident throughout the process and he was both collegial and reasonable in trying to bring the deal to a successful close. I would be glad to work with him on future transactions."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
