Wonderful Communication and Follow Through

Bob Buechner is an incredible lawyer and person overall. He's extremely active in his community and carries a full schedule, yet he is always surprisingly responsive to any questions I have. He is clear in his communication and his understanding of the law is outstanding. He has reviewed many legal d...ocuments for me, his proficiency of contracts and legal terms is wonderful. He drew my attention to, and put in layman's terms, important aspects of the contracts I would have overlooked otherwise. He has offered sound legal advice in many areas of my life over the years and is enjoyable to work with. Lawyers can be intimidating, but his combination of professionalism and approachability makes it easy to work with Bob. I highly recommend Bob Buechner and his firm.

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.
