The best of them all!

Nan Bucknell is absolutely the best DUI defense attorney you could ever hope to have. She actually cares about getting you the best possible outcome. I talked with many attorney's before finding Nan. To a person they were all very dismissive, and basically indicated "you'll get the outcome you get". ...They gave no indication they were going to work hard, and I believed them. Nan on the other hand, was from the first conversation, committed to the best possible outcome; she was relentless, and would not settle for the DA's offer. She got me an outcome I did not even think was possible. My charges were not serious, but Nan still worked tirelessly to get my issues dropped down to nearly nothing. Nan also happens to be a great person. She is warm, engaging, and helps tremendously to put you at ease. She will also listen to your inputs and take them in to use in your defense. Few people would be willing to be this open and flexible. Nan is. You will not find a better attorney, it is simply not possible.

Honest, Reliable, and Determined

I recently had the worst scenario ahead of me, about to lose my license because of a DUI. Nan was able to quickly see me and access my situation, she was honest, confident, and sincere. Nan prepared me for worst case scenario and also told me what she thought she could do for me and what I could expe...ct. Nan is upfront about the situation and she is confident in her ability to make it go away as quickly as possible. She helped me feel like this total disaster was just a standard day to day thing and that I shouldn't let it upset me. Nan was always available by text and emails and never made me feel like there wasn't a question I couldn't ask, even if I asked it 10 times 10 different ways. She is clear about steps, provides a lot of details, and her assistant/receptionist is timely in updates. It really did seem like dark skies were ahead but it would not have been as easy as it was without Nan. I relied on her and depended on her confidence and it was worth every damn penny. THANK YOU NAN!

Outstanding lawyer who can deliver Outstanding results.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Nan was able to get my case discharged and dropped by the prosecution before it was ever filed in court. I too was in serious trouble and did not know where to turn. Searching for criminal defense lawyers and reading reviews online to see who would be best to represent me. C...onsulted with a few lawyers including Nan who were all highly rated, recommended, professional, and informative. But retaining Nan to represent me was one of the best decisions I have ever made. She is very informative, honest, detailed, and driven. She mapped out the complete criminal procedure and explained each step of the process. And for my case she was able to resolve it before it even went to court, which is the highest, most-best outcome that could ever be achieved and Nan achieved it. I would highly recommend Nan who sets the bar high and works hard to get you the best outcome. Thank you so much Nan! You’re an outstanding lawyer who can deliver outstanding results.

An Amazing Lawyer

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.

Honest and forthcoming, illustrative and detailed.

I found myself in legal trouble during the summer of 2016 - a foreign, unenviable, and emotionally exhausting situation to say the least. While I'd consulted with three other surely capable attorneys, it wasn't until I met and sat with Nan that I felt a sense of relief. She didn't ply me with unre...alistic promises or misplaced hope - she was honest and forthcoming, illustrative and detailed. Her consultation alone was extensively insightful and informative, achieving more in one afternoon hour than I could in numerous sleepless nights' research on my own. Retaining Nan to represent me was the best decision I could make - she took care of everything, from appearances & arraignments, documentation & application dates, to pleads & settlements - she navigated and guided me through every stage in the process, both in a professional manner and with the occasional personal interjection when she saw me in emotional duress (I'd never been in this kind of trouble before; I was oft visibly shaken). "You will survive this" and "this doesn't mean you're a bad person" - whatever the legal outcome was to be, reassurances like these from her brought me a lot of much needed solace and sanity. I'm happy to say, a few months later, the best possible outcomes were attained, my life is on track towards normal again, and I practice a mindfulness & gratitude I previously took for granted. It's all thanks to Nan. Thank you, Nan.
