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.

Wills and Advanced Directive

My husband and I had wills and advanced directives done by Mr. Buhler. He was very helpful explaining the differences between setting up trusts and just doing wills. We were very comfortable with the information he gave us and the work was completed in a very timely manner.

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.
