Posted by Ellen | April 28, 2020 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Honest, smart and trustworthy...

Better than 5 stars. Mr. Buck's honesty easily puts him at the top of the lawyers I consulted with who either wanted their retainer without explaining what course of action they recommended and/or did not get a firm handle on my nuanced situation which a one size fits all action would not resolve. Mr.... Buck asked a good number of questions that no other lawyer had before, recommending the best course of action....to do nothing at this time. If and when the time is right however, I will seek Mr. Buck's counsel again and most definitely hire him. It's about honesty and trust.

Thank you Mr. Buck!!!

When I needed help, Mr. Buck was there for me. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and diligently represented me to the best possible outcome of a very serious legal matter. I can't thank him enough. Trusting Mr. Buck's expertise and skill was the smartest decision I could have made!!!! ...Thank you again!!

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.
