Nancy Lee Bucknell

I got pulled over initially for stopping above the stop sign line in a blind intersection. At the end of it all I was being charged with a wet and reckless and blew under the legal limit with a 0.06. This was the first time I have ever been pulled over for anything and been in trouble. Nan took the ...time to listen to everything and reassured me that everything would be okay. We kept in contact weekly with any questions or concerns that I had. She always returned my calls and emails in a prompt manner. At the end of it all, Nan was able to get all the charges dropped against me and for that I am forever grateful. I no longer have to live thinking I was going to have points on my record and a wet and reckless charge. Nan is now my go to reference for everyone!

Wow!!! What a Great Outcome. My son and I feared the Worst when he got a serious ticket. Nan's down to earth Warm Personality and Extreme Confidence put us at Ease Immediately~ She was able to get the Misdemeanor moving violation charges reduced- my son Avoided jail time and paid a small fine. Nan... made us feel like close friends or family. She definitely knows her Stuff and has earned TOP RECOMMENDATIONS!!!!

The unthinkable happened a few weeks ago: a 2:00am phone call from my 20 year old son. “Dad, I’m at the police station. They’re booking me on a DUI”. Nan took care of us from the very beginning when we explained the situation at a complimentary consultation. She listened intently to my son’s re-t...elling the sequence of events and pointed out how certain responses could have been better handled: a very valuable lesson in the fact that the police are definitely not your friends when you have been pulled over, and you must be careful in what you say. She went on to explain all of the implications, all of the possible outcomes, and ways that the case could be fought. We were so impressed with Nan’s professionalism and wisdom that my son felt that he was on the scene of a taping of “The Good Wife”. Besides being a top-notch attorney, Nan is also a mom who understands that kids sometimes make mistakes, sometimes with serious consequences, and she is passionate about defending kids like my son who had obviously learned an important lesson. That first half hour consultation actually ran for an hour, and that was only the first indication of the extent of Nan’s dedication to her clients. She was always available, always answering her phone, and promptly following up with the latest information and results from the various appointments that she attended on our behalf. I would highly recommend Nan as the best representative and counselor that one could ask for.

We first hired Ms. Bucknell over a year ago to represent my son for a non-violent criminal charge and a violation of probation on a drug charge. We had already paid two other lawyers for prior misdemeanor charges with unsatisfactory results. With our limited financial resources, we thought that his... latest charge would have to be left to the public defenders. I dreaded that my son would become just another case file among hundreds at the public defenders office. Ms. Bucknell understood our financial dilemma and made us a reasonable offer to represent my son on his new charge. She not only gave us the peace of mind of knowing what we should expect of the "correctional system", but she gave him guidance in making the best decisions regarding his defense. She has visited him at the jail every time he requested to meet with her before court appearances and has always been available by phone or email if I have any questions or concerns regarding my son's cases. I have no regrets that we hired Nan Bucknell to represent my son and I would recommend her to everyone that needs a lawyer and does not want to get lost in the "legal system".

I luckily found Nan after I had already hired (and paid for!) a lawyer for a first-offender DUI case. I had gotten the sense that my first choice (made in haste after the arrest) was a "churn and burn" kind of lawyer, and I wanted someone that would understand ME as a person rather than just as a DU...I. Nan was exactly that lawyer - she insisted I come to meet her so that we could talk through things and she was friendly, down-to-earth, and realistic. Nan even advised me on how to get some of my money back from the first lawyer! She also took the time to understand my life and what things were most important to try to "fight for" in terms of the punishments. As things progressed she was really timely in response to email, and most importantly she got as good of a result as possible for me. I am able to do my community service locally rather than where the offense was, and through a non-profit I was already affiliated with. She was willing to go back to court to fight for flexibility if I needed it as well, and she expunges your record after 3 years. Nan is a great choice, I highly recommend her!!
