Nancy Lee Bucknell

I had walked in to court and pled no contest to a DUI and got a full sentence. I didn't have representation, so I called Nan to see if there was anything I could do. I called to set up a meeting and at first she said she might not be able to help me, but the more details I gave her, the more she star...ted to realize that I got screwed over by the County. So I hired Nan and she went to speak directly with the DA supervisor and had my case repealed withing 5 minutes. After that we went to court and she had my DUI reduced to a wet wreckless. Not only did she get my DUI reduced to a wet wreckless, but she also had my fees reduced by $1000, and I no longer needed to do community service, or the 3 month program, but instead a 12 hour class. She was also responsive, giving me a call, text, or email back within 15 minutes. If I had not seeked out her counseling, I would be stuck with a DUI on my record, and have community service, and higher fees to pay. Im extremely happy i seeked out her counsel or i wpuld of been left screwed over.

My world turned upside down when my wife framed me in a domestic violence case. As someone who had never broken the law what was unfolding before me was surreal and I had no clue on what to do next. After interviewing three highly rated (on Avvo and Yelp) criminal lawyers in San Jose, I selected Nan... as I found her to be sincere and knowledgeable. She has a calming, reassuring effect. She outlined an approach and explained likelihood of various outcomes. Throughout the process, she was accessible and kept me informed via email and phone. In the end, she was able to get the charges dismissed and called me with this news! If you need someone who can fight for you, I suggest you pick Nan. You will be glad you did.

My case was regarding a DUI situation in Santa Clara County. I was lost , depressed, felt pretty crappy with this situation. And then I met Nan! She made everything so much easier to handle and always made sure I stayed positive throughout the process. I honestly thought there was no hope until ...I contacted her. She was very attentive and considerate since it was my first DUI. She always stayed in touch and made sure I knew all the details regarding my case. And to be honest she is a pretty awesome person! I would definitely recommend her to others going through a similar situation as mines. Also I thought I would be dealing with court hearings and trails regarding my case but I NEVER had to deal with court hearings or coming into court , she took care of everything for me ! She is truly a helpful and caring individual. You can tell she loves what she does and she is very passionate about her work.

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!

Back in January, my girlfriend and I got into a heated argument, a lovers’ quarrel that would have not mean anything outside of California, but the California police came and arrested her on domestic violence charges. At the time, I was not aware that in the state of California, one can be charged o...n domestic violence even for verbal arguments, and it is a serious crime that if convicted, with jail time up to 3 years. This is the first time either of us was in jail, and since we normally don’t cross paths with the law, it was a pretty traumatic experience for both of us. I wouldn’t know how we would have gotten out of this situation without Nan. Luckily we found her by a friend’s referral, and after hearing our story, she jumped on the case, visiting my GF at 10 PM the same night, to console and calmed her down, and the very next day, Nan was able to work her magic and convince the DA to dismiss my GF’s case. Unfortunately, this was not the end of the story, the craziness continues, the police came on the very next day, and arrested me also on charges of domestic violence. Given we already had a good deal of trust between us; I called on Nan from jail asking for her help. She visited the same night, and promptly helped to arrange my bail, and got me out by 2 am, so I wouldn’t have to spend the night in jail. What I appreciate the most is, Nan went beyond her business responsibilities as my lawyer, and even went down to the county jail to pick up my GF for me, knowing she would freak out if no one is there to pick her up. After bailing me out of the jail, Nan also worked to get my case dismissed in 10 days so I wouldn’t have to go through the ordeal of a court appearance. She was the aspirin for what could have been a huge time consuming legal headache for me. I haven’t had much experience with lawyers, but meeting Nan definitely changed my perception of lawyers. She is extremely professional, detail oriented, and personable. It was a pleasure working with her on my case, she was crisp and clear in our discussions, and was up front about the issues, and didn’t try to sugarcoat or over promised me anything. I would highly recommend her, she is not cheap, but she is worth every penny I paid, I would rather pay Nan, be a free man and make the money back in a fraction of the time I’d spend doing time in jail. God forbid, if I ever run into legal issues, she would be the first person I would turn to for help.
