Ohio's Perry Mason!!!

I live in Virginia and I needed to find an attorney for my nephew who lives in Springfield Ohio. I had no clue about the reputations of any attorneys in that area. So all I could do was turn to Google, read the reviews, and pray that I select the best one. My nephew was charged with a Class 2 felo...ny that carried 2 to 8 years, so my choice had to be right. I read the reviews and decided that Mr. Bucio (he prefers Chris) was the best choice, and I WAS RIGHT!!!! From my initial contact with Chris, he communicated me with. He followed up with me when he needed to, he answered and explained things to us. On top of that, his staff member Brandi is the best!!!! Her customer service is so professional and friendly!!! Please, if you need an attorney who will work hard for you and remain transparent with you, then look no further, Chris Bucio is your man!! I stand whole-heartedly behind this review!!! Oh, I almost forgot, my nephew's case was DISMISSED!!!! Now, I don't know your circumstances, but I truly believe that Mr. Bucio and his team will do all they can for you. Martha D.

Passionate Advocate

It’s hard to think of another attorney that will literally give you his cell phone number after the first consultation, but that’s exactly what Chris does. He has a passion for advocating on behalf of folks dealing with various criminal issues, and won’t settle for an unfair plea. Most importantly, h...e is not afraid to go to trial if necessary! Highly recommend!

Chris Bucio is one of the top attorneys in Ohio

Chris Bucio has helped me several times, he’s gotten my charges dropped and is always someone who actually cares about your situation. He tells you how it is and what needs to be done. I have referred him several clients and he has helped them tremendously in their situations as well, always giving t...hem fair prices. Chris really does serve his community well.

No suprises. Intelligent.

My husband was facing 63 years in prison, clearly her for some very serious charges. Out of the blue my husband was pulled over in our home state for a traffic stop and learned he had some pending charges in Ohio. We were not prepared for such a traumatic event. He was arrested for a crime is tha...t he did not commit based on a company he worked for many years about years later he was pulled over for a traffic stop and then extradited back to the state of Ohio . After some research I came across Chris and called him immediately . Chris explained to me step-by-step what was going to happen and what to expect . He gave me his expectations for myself with this being a shock to our family and Chris explaining everything that was going to happen I was able to stay strong for my son and deal with the situation as best as possible . Everything Chris said that would happen -happened. I was prepared mentally and emotionally . Due to the types of charges my husband was facing the only way to set him free would be a trial. Unfortunately, as we were not prepared for this we could not afford to go to trial . A deal was made, that cut his sentence from 63 years to four years and Chris was able to get my husband out within nine months for good behavior . I'm extremely happy with the results and I know if we want to trial my husband would've been free but I'll take nine months of him gone vs 63 years any day . Chris was amazing and showed his intelligence and walked me through step-by-step . With his knowledge and being able to give me the expectations and what was going to happen I was able to remain strong for our son and this event could've affected him immensely and It did not as I was able to prepare myself mentally and emotionally thankfully to chris. I would highly recommend him to anybody . My husband has been home for two years, we still have Chris's business card on our fridge to remind us of the angel that overlooked our family during such a traumatic event.

Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer!

I had quite the list of charges against me when I and my wife asked for Mr. Bucio's help. The combination of all the charges over multiple counties added up to a potential of 35 or more years in prison and huge fines as well as a tier 2 sex offender registration. Mr. Bucio went to work right away and... was able to negotiate down to a misdemeanor 3 in one county and a felony 2 with a combined maximum of 8 years and 2 months and $5500 in fines. I walked away from the court room with 5 years probation, no fines, and registered as a tier 1 sex offender. But that's not all; not only is Mr. Bucio a very competent attorney, he also gave me a lot of support and genuinely cared about my outcome. When we hired Mr. Bucio we had no idea that we would have made a new life-long friend. Thank you Chris! God bless you and your practice!!

Criminal defense lawyer | Sep 20

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"A lot of lawyers claims they devote their practice to criminal defense work but I've found that very few are truly versed in the field and/or effective counselors and advocates on behalf of their clients who are going through typically the worst times of their life. Chris Bucio is one of those very few who are indeed that good. His knowledge of Ohio law and procedure, amazing pretrial and trial skills, his compassion for his clients, and his ability to simply get fantastic results separate him from the pact. Clients are in great hands when they go to Chris for help. I highly recommend him."

"I have known Chris for about 15 years. I know of his reputation as an attorney and as the owner of a building where my practice was located for five years. I have found Chris to be personable, intelligent, and easy to do business with. He has a fine reputation as a trial lawyer and has built a fine law practice. He is obviously doing a lot of things right. I would not hesitate to send a client or friend to see Chris for a legal matter.I endorse this lawyer."

"Since joining RKB, I have seen firsthand why Chris has quickly earned the reputation from other attorneys, courts, and his clients as one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Ohio. Plus, unlike some criminal defense attorneys, Chris will not sell his clients down the river to the prosecutor's office the first chance he gets. Instead, as an experienced and highly skilled litigator, he is willing to go to trial if necessary and fight for his clients. If you're charged with a serious crime and your freedom is at stake, don't settle for anything less than the best possible representation - call Chris Bucio today!"
