Uncontested divorce

I would highly recommend Mr. Buskirk and his associates. The entire staff were friendly and inviting, relieving me of my "lawyer anxiety". They guided me through every step and answered all of my questions. And with that it made a stressful situation, less so. A+ to all of you!

Great experience.

Everyone was very knowledgeable and courteous. Prices were fair compared to other offices. I would have given five stars but the office had to reschedule my hearing due to another hearing after I had already taken the day off of work.

Thanks for the great review Carla! If I remember correctly, we had to move it from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on the same day, sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your business.

Do not reccommend- slow progress

I am writing to express my extreme disappointment and frustration with the service I received from Jeffrey E. Buskirk over a period of 8 weeks. Despite three meetings and the signing of papers, Jeffrey E. Buskirk failed to take any action on our case. During our meetings, Jeffrey E. Buskirk provid...ed conflicting advice and guidance, which caused unnecessary confusion and concern. Specifically, he told us that we didn't need a copy of the will, which was brought to each of our meetings, despite our insistence that it was necessary. Only after we sought additional guidance from him did he admit that he should have filed it. Throughout the process, Jeffrey E. Buskirk was unresponsive to our attempts to update him on the status of our case. He would either not respond to emails or phone calls, or made excuses in person such as 'life happens', 'I’m old and forgetful’ and 'I've been busy'. When we made an appointment to discuss the lack of progress, he became defensive and agitated, yelling at us when asked why nothing had been done. The final meeting was extremely uncomfortable, as Jeffrey E. Buskirk refused to provide any explanation or justification for the lack of progress over the past 8 weeks. Despite our concerns and frustrations, he showed no willingness to address the issues or provide a plan for moving forward. He seems confused with the details as well, asking if we were another case name. In conclusion, I do not recommend Jeffrey E. Buskirk to anyone. The unprofessional demeanor, lack of communication, and conflicting advice made it clear that he was not capable of providing the level of service we needed. We wasted 2 months of our time and are now starting over with a new attorney. The only redeeming aspect of this experience was that Jeffrey E. Buskirk did not charge us for his services, given that we were not satisfied with the outcome. However, this gesture did little to alleviate the frustration and disappointment we felt.

Awful

If I could I would give this place an absolute ZERO STARS! They are very unhelpful. I got into an accident March of 2017 and did not receive a settlement check until around the end of June 2018, and when I did it was just about nothing. Not even worth getting a lawyer at that point. My father receive...d a check THREE times the amount of what I got from Jeff without even getting an attorney and my car was totaled and his was not in his accident. Then when I went in to sign my check him and his office joked about how they used my check money to redo their carpets, and the entire time talked about how lucky I WAS to be getting my check when they could be getting new carpets???? It was my money! Jeff told me all my medical expenses were paid as I signed my final check and come to find out THEY WERE NOT. Now Jeff is saying that he does not have to pay this said bill because he did not know about it... when I know 100% that he did. He sent me all the papers that he had in the beginning and that bill was in those papers.This bill is now in collections and about to be put on my credit. I am a 20 year old college student trying to get approved for student loans to get into Nursing school. This being on my credit would make it nearly impossible to get those student loans on my own. Meaning no nursing school for me... This experience with Jeff has been the worst experience I have ever had to deal with. VERY unprofessional. Avoid this place at allllll costs.

Nice guy but did not obtain the proper documentation needed for my social security disability case and still billed me afterward

I am disappointed at the lack of effort put into my initial social security disability case. He filed and obtained very little available medical documentation needed to prove my condition. I went with another attorney and won when they obtained the documentation. He is a nice guy but did not put any ...effort at all into my case. This delayed my benefits greatly and has caused me an extreme financial hardship while I have been waiting. He is still actually billing for whatever he did for my case. This alone is unethical since so little was sent into social security on behalf. I called and offered to obtain hospital records and assist him in following up on anything needed for my case. I am really miffed that he is billing me when he did so little for my case.
