Great firm

I was referred to Buncher by a close friend. My wife left me, via text, and we had several things tied financially together. I spoke with Gayle, and she was amazing! Very kind and understanding. She set up a consultation with Sven. He was also very kind and understanding. They are both incredibly kno...wledgeable. You hear about attorneys being dishonest and only out for money. Not Buncher Family Law. They are real heroes in my book. They were honest, kind and not only out for money. Yes, they are in business, but they are fair and in line with typical law pricing. I would have paid double for the time Sven spent with me. He explained everything in detail while patiently waiting for me to write everything down. He answered all of my questions and never made me feel rushed. He made an awful situation seem doable. I will forever remember the kindness and honesty I received from these amazing professionals. Thank you, Gayle and Sven.

Extraordinary representation in an extraordinary situation

I cannot thank Sven Buncher and the entire team at Buncher Law enough for the incredible support and representation I received during one of the most difficult times in my life. Navigating a complex divorce and a domestic violence restraining order case was emotionally overwhelming, but from the very... beginning, Sven provided unwavering guidance, compassion, and legal expertise. Sven was not only highly knowledgeable and strategic in handling every aspect of my case, but also genuinely empathetic and responsive to my needs. He took the time to listen, understand the sensitive nature of my situation, and made me feel protected and empowered throughout the entire process. His dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail were truly exceptional. Thanks to Sven’s hard work and commitment, I was able to reach a resolution that brought me both safety and peace of mind. I’m beyond grateful to have had him by my side, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Sven Buncher and Buncher Law to anyone facing a challenging family law matter. You will be in the most capable and compassionate hands.

Best in the business

My wife and I separated about 2 years ago. Long story short, my savings and assets were stolen from me and was left with very little. In addition, I was being sued for even more. Thankfully, my attorneys at Buncher law completely saved me and ensured justice was served. They got me my savings and as...sets back and talked/messaged me through my many many questions in a timely manner which majorly decreased my extreme anxiety, all while keeping legal fees as low as possible. I’ve heard many horror stories of attorneys charging so much for such little help, charging hundreds for a 10 min conversation. That was absolutely not the case at Buncher law. Everyone in the office was so nice and professional, I never felt uncomfortable with them and felt that they truly cared. It all seemed too good to be true but I’m at the end of it now and Buncher law really is just that good. I don’t plan on getting divorced again but if I do, I know where I’m going.
