Nancy Lee Bucknell

Nan was an amazing lawyer when I found myself in legal trouble with a DUI. She was straight forward with me from the moment I met her and helped me through the entire process. She successfully won my case and cleared my record and I could never thank her enough! She also has great communication and r...esponses quickly to any questions you might have regarding your situation which gives you peace of mind when you need it most. Nan will do everything in her power to get you the best deal with your given situation. She works with your schedule and makes court dates and DMV visits as easy as possible. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Had a v high BAC but Nan made me calm the whole way through and helped me approach the whole situation in a very business like manner. Had an unexpected problem with scheduling the SWP and the judge was not happy about it but it was due to a misunderstanding. At the hearing, Nan was firm and clear wi...th the judge, with whom she has a great relationship judging by their communication, and he solved the problem quickly and easily. If you need help for a DUI in the Bay Area, call Nan first!

Nancy has exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable. I came to her after receiving my first DUI in February. Honestly i thought that I would be able to handle all the paperwork and processes that came with a DUI by myself, but I couldn't be more wrong. There's so much involved with a DUI, and ...of course as we all know dealing with the DMV'S a pain in the butt by its self. If it wasn't for Nancy I'm sure that I would have miss read paper work, forget to file for my restricted license, and had a warrant out for my arrest because I missed my pre booking date for community service. She's a hands on, interactive attorney that really takes the time to assure that her clients are doing everything properly, and as efficient as possible.

I chose Nan after interviewing six attorneys, and I made the right choice. I was impressed at how she clearly walked me through the different processes pertaining to my particular case, in the meanwhile aptly managed my expectation. It's been almost a year since she took on my case, and I am very h...appy to receive the result that I have been hoping for, all with Nan's help in every step of the way. Through out the whole process, Nan was always available via texts for my questions and for status updates. She would text me after every trial date, and updated me on the next step. And when there was more to discuss, she made time to meet with me in her office. She possess intimate knowledge of the process, the people, and the system. Most importantly, she listened to my ideas on what we can do to help with the case, and transparently discussed their merits. Not all my ideas was useful, but I was grateful that she was very open-minded in listening to me. It was a struggling time coping with my case, but Nan really helped ease off the stress. She never gave up, and kept pushing on negotiating with the DA for a better deal. And the result speaks for itself: my DUI charge was reduced to wet reckless. I learned a big lesson, and Nan really helped me through this process.

I've never written an Avvo review... This will be my first. I was arrested for a DUI In early 2015 and I was involved in an accident which fortunately included only myself. Given the accident I knew I would need the best attorney I could find. After asking friends and searching various sites for revi...ews I narrowed it down to 3 attorneys. Nan was the first attorney I contacted, and she made time to meet with me in between court appointments at the Palo Alto courthouse. When we arrived, the the Deputy Sherriff at the metal detector asked who I was there to see, and I mentioned I was there to interview an attorney to possibly represent me. When I gave him Nan's name, he became very friendly and said you will not find a better attorney and that she was extremely well respected there. Another Sherrif jumped in and said I would lucky to have her. That was surprising. She came out when I texted her, and in 5 minutes of questions guessed what my blood alcohol was going to be within a surprisingly accurate range, assessed my accident and injuries, and then wrote out a detailed sequence of events that she was going to help me achieve including keeping me with a license to drive back and forth to work with no down time. Her assessment was so impressive. With that and the Sherrif Deputies having already given me unexpected references, I hired her on the spot and wrote her a check... Best money I ever spent. My suspicion that she was going to be a masterful navigator and negotiator and was severely underestimated. Everything she laid out happened. I was completely honest with her up front so I had no surprises. My case is still ongoing as my injuries have prevented me from completing my community service, and Nan remains diligent after so much time. I honestly believe I would have been screwed had I not hired her. She took all he stress out of an unbelievably stressful time in my life. I will never forget it, and I cannot put into words how strongly I recommend her!
