COMPETENT ATTORNEY

On a few occasions I've retained Tony to represent my interest. He has proven that he can get the job done. Tony is my go to attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone that finds themselves in need of a professional and competent attorney.

Superior Representation

First, let me state that I have been a member of the Illinois Bar since 1982, practicing in the areas of Federal Administrative Law as a civilian, and, since 1991, as United States Army Judge Advocate. Thus, my impression of Tony Buzzard is not only that of a client, but of an experienced peer. I’v...e twice had occasion to seek Toney’s counsel and representation over the past 30 months or so. On both occasions he has been thorough and professional, providing outstanding advice and appropriately aggressive representation to my complete satisfaction. Any comments made to me about Toney from others in the Harnett county judicial system have uniformly validated my personal impressions; he is extremely well respected for both his legal knowledge and his practical knowledge of the workings of the court system. I have, with confidence and no hesitation, referred prospective clients to him. Trust me when I say that between professional peers, that is the highest recommendation.

Dependable & Communicative

I have worked with Tony Buzzard and Buzzard Law Firm on several occasions. Tony's knowledge of the law, integrity, compassion, determination and willingness to confront opposition are impressive. I continue to take cases with him.

You can trust Tony's judgment and advice. He doesn't tell you what you want to hear, he tells you what you need to know. Straight forward and honest.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
