We hired Nan Bucknell to represent my son for violation of probation charges. We decided to get legal counsel for my son as we felt that he would not be adequately represented by a public defender after being violated by his probation officer when he had attended 38 weeks of a 52 week DV program. My... son is a very difficult person to deal with and she really put things in perspective for my son right from the initial meeting. She was clear with explanations of proceedings and possible outcomes for his case. She not only represented him at on going court dates, but also was instrumental in dealing with the probation officer for my son's case. She was very attentive to our case and prompt with phone calls, emails, and face to face meetings.

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".

Nan helped me out with a DUI case I was facing and was very helpful. I was a little nervous and anxious going in. She definitely put me at ease and was very helpful and straight-forward with me. I had been referred to her by my brother and also had heard very good things about her from other lawyers ...that I had called to consult before finally deciding to have her represent me. I was convinced by what I had heard and by how great Nan is. I would definitely recommend her if you need some legal consultation!

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!!

When a relative was cited for DUI, I recommended she see Nan. I had been represented by her a couple of years ago, and knew how good she is. As she had been with me, Nan was never judgemental and was always knowledgeable, prepared and confident. We always knew she cared and was doing her best. And h...er best was always great. Her diligence and zeal got both of us what I realize to be the best possible outcome. I do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing legal representation.
