Highly Recommended

We used Mr. Buhler for an adult adoption and the process couldn't have been easier. Mr. Buhler handled every aspect in a thorough and professional manner. I would highly recommend him.

Efficient & Professional

Mr. Buhler helped me with a couple of different family law cases. He was efficient, experienced, timely, and knowledgeable of the law. I received the outcome I was hoping for and I am so grateful for Mr. Buhler's help and professionalism in such a stressful situation. I would refer Mr. Buhler to any...one in need of a family law attorney.

Prenuptial

Went over with Mr. Buhler my situation. He listened very well and then provided me with a his recommendation. Mr. Buhler then put in a package for my review. He was very understanding and made sure I understood what everything meant. We was then able to execute the prenuptial between me and my wife i...n a professional manner. I would recommend Mr. Buhler for your legal assistance.

Adoption success

Stephen was obviously experienced with adoptions and our whole family was impressed with him. He was very professional and if we need to contact an attorney again we would use his office and his services again.

Posted by Bonnie | June 17, 2015

Family Trust

During our family trust dispersion, we needed to transfer some of the property to family members. He acted promptly on all our needs, got forms to us quickly, and answered all of our questions. We were happy with his suggestions. We would recommend his services and will use him again if we have f...uture needs.
