Life Saver X 2

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.

Nan saved my life

Nan responded when I was desperate. She listened to me and ensured the DA listened to me. She made what I perceived as a life-stopping incident into a manageable and benign hiccup.

Aggressive Representation for Seemingly Hopeless Cases

Nan Bucknell helped me in my darkest hour when all seemed lost. She worked on a short deadline to transfer my case from straight time to consecutive weekends just in time for me to keep my job. She persuaded the judge to grant me this leniency over the objection of the DA. She has just recently pushe...d through my early probation termination for a serious felony, again over the objection of the DA. In addition, she dropped everything including her vacation plans to represent me in a reduction to a misdemeanor motion with simultaneous dismissal of the charge under PC 1203.4 just before the law was going to change on January 1, 2014, making me ineligible for dismissal from that point forward. If you need an attorney to aggessively represent you before the Santa Clara County Superior Court, Nan is the woman for the job!

Nan is an excellent lawyer!

I found Nan Yelp to begin with. I had received a DUI and really hadn't been in any trouble before, so I needed some guidance. When reviewing my case, Nan found there might have been an issue with the supposed illegal U-turn the police officer said I did, which is why I was pulled over in the first ...place. Nan was extremely diligent in gathering evidence, reviewing laws and codes related to this issue, and basically went to the wall for me. I was very impressed with her knowledge, her persistence and they way she handled the case in court. In the end, the DUI charges were dropped due to the illegal detainment (me being pulled over) by the officer because the U-turn was actually legal. I would recommend Nan to anyone in need of counsel.
