Client Review of Adair Buckner - Amarillo Texas
I have looked to Adair Buckner on several occasions for advice and direction on difficult employee matters. She has been an excellent source of knowledge and help. She takes time to ask the questions needed before she offers relevant advice and solutions. I highly recommend Adair for any employee related matters.

Highly Dependable and Responsive
Adair Buckner has assisted me with a will and establishing a business. She is an ethical person who only takes on work that she is highly qualified to handle. She reviewed a partnership agreement for me and red flagged several issues that likely will save me a lot of grief in the future. I certainly appreciated her diligence and also appreciated how quickly she was able to get back to me. She is an excellent attorney and I would recommend her without reservation.

Contract Negotiations and Human Resource Assistance
I own a staffing firm that I purchased in 2008. When the economy took a downturn, it was going to be crucial to renegotiate the purchase agreement I had with the previous owner. That was going to be difficult due to the personality of the previous owner and their unwillingness to understand the situation. I solicited the help of Ms. Buckner who I can proudly say is not only my attorney in these matters but she is also a trusted friend. She helped me make my way through a year of tough negotiations which saved my business. I will always be grateful for her expertise, honesty and straightforwardness. I have also used Adair several times in the area of Human Resources. In my day-to-day business activity, I work with small employers who do not have full-time HR professionals on staff so many times they have issues that need to be handled. Adair has provided valuable guidance that has assisted my clients in avoiding legal action. I would highly recommend Adair Buckner in the area of Employment Law!
