I have never ever needed a lawyer however upon my first conversation with Mr Bucklin he explained in detail how the process worked. And I really did not want to hire a lawyer, however as things progressed I found out I did and Mr Bucklin was more than understanding about my needs. He gave me options and stressed he would do whatever I wanted.
I hope and pray that I never ever need his service again. However I know I can trust and count on him.
Thank you Brad.
Mr. Bucklin was very helpful in my consultation with him. He explained the steps I needed to take and was not just pushing for me to hire him. He seems very trustworthy and honest.
Personal injury is one of the most satisfying, yet difficult, areas of law. Unfortunately, many badly injured people, or families of their deceased family members, are treated poorly by insurers. I have tried approximately 80-90 jury trials and have had a verdict of $1,660,000.
Many people are terribly injured at work. Workers deserve to be repaid by their employers for their efforts to help their employers and getting hurt for their efforts. I have concentrated in Workers' Compensation since 1987. I have handled many trials and appeals in the Workers' Compensation Commission, the Circuit Courts and the Illinois Appellate Courts. I have been teaching it since 1992 in continuing education (now continuing legal education) courses for lawyers and insurance adjusters.
I truly love to help people in their injury cases (an injury is how I got into law). I appreciate the chance to step in and help out. I have tried (and appealed) many cases over 34 years, and have tried injury cases for 28 years. I have been trying Workers' Comp. and personal injury cases since 1987, and have been teaching those subjects (and Social Security Disability) since 1992.
