Natasha is fantastic

Very thorough, professional, understanding and compassionate. She knows the law and took the time to understand me and my situation with complete confidence. She handled my case and the opposing attorney very professionally and always in my best interest. She answered all my questions in a very timel...y manner and made sure I understood everything. I'm happy to provide a more detailed reference. Just ask Natasha to contact me.

Great Lawyer

I had the best experience possible with Ms. Buchanan! I have never needed a lawyer before, so I had no idea what I was doing. Natasha made everything SO easy and made me feel included and at ease with the whole process. She explained everything, and kept us informed every step of the way! Thank you s...o much for all of your hard work and help!

Natasha is a warm and caring yet very professional attorney!

Natasha handled the adoption of my daughter in a professional yet warm and caring manner. She kept me informed every step of the way and did her best to meet our needs with the scheduling of our court hearing. She attended the hearing with us and felt more like a member of the family rather than our ...legal representative. I was confident the adoption would go smoothly because Natasha was in charge - and it did! I would highly recommend her to anyone.

FDIC Section 19 Client

Natasha successfully processed my application to file for FDIC Section 19 waiver within a timely and professional manner. I found her service over the internet from Boston. Only spoke via phone and e-mail and was pleasantly surprised of the outstanding service received. Recently my application was... approved and now I'm back on track to resubmit my resume to financial institutions. Thank you again and highly recommend anyone in need of a Section 19 waiver to consider Natasha!

Outstanding counsel!

Natasha was very instrumental in helping me obtain a response to FDIC Section 19 requirement for my current employer. My position at the time was in a non-bank entity at my firm, but I was offered a position in the FDIC regulated entity of the company, but due to a past misdemeanor on my record, I n...eeded to obtain legal advice. Natasha drafted an opinion stating why I would not need a waiver to my company's HR department due to the fact the the incident would be categorized as "De Minimus" based on the rules requirements. She communicated with the counsel in the HR department, drafted additional paperwork and within days, I was approved for the position. Natasha was not only kind, professional and knowledgeable, but she was also very patient. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone that needs an outstanding counsel to represent them.

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.
