Best possible outcome

One of my family faced an issue late last year. It would have been simple and straightforward to accept the advice of one police officer, who suggested that we simply accept the decisions of the legal process, take our medicine and move on. However, after consideration, we went to Nan to see if she c...ould help. I could offer a 5-star rating on the outcome alone - that she persuaded the DA to discharge the case. But Nan offered so much more: she thoroughly described the process we were facing, the approach she was taking to address it, and offered the comfort that we did not need to attend the court hearing. I have no hesitation in recommending Nan Bucknell, Attorney At Law, and if I am ever again faced with a similiar situation, I will turn to her for help.

Bad DUI

Had a v high BAC but Nan made me calm the whole way through and helped me approach the whole situation in a very business like manner. Had an unexpected problem with scheduling the SWP and the judge was not happy about it but it was due to a misunderstanding. At the hearing, Nan was firm and clear wi...th the judge, with whom she has a great relationship judging by their communication, and he solved the problem quickly and easily. If you need help for a DUI in the Bay Area, call Nan first!

Outstanding, hands on lawyer.

Nancy has exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable. I came to her after receiving my first DUI in February. Honestly i thought that I would be able to handle all the paperwork and processes that came with a DUI by myself, but I couldn't be more wrong. There's so much involved with a DUI, and ...of course as we all know dealing with the DMV'S a pain in the butt by its self. If it wasn't for Nancy I'm sure that I would have miss read paper work, forget to file for my restricted license, and had a warrant out for my arrest because I missed my pre booking date for community service. She's a hands on, interactive attorney that really takes the time to assure that her clients are doing everything properly, and as efficient as possible.

Your case is just another careless case.

I hired her by seeing the favorable reviews here. In just 5 minutes of my first meeting she asked me how do I wish to pay and asked for my card which made me feel like "Am I really talking to the right person?". She doesn't care to find the details of your case. This lawyer is not at all interested i...n winning your case but just to follow the standard court procedures and leave it to pure luck. I really feel bad why people like this who don't care a thing about their clients get into such professions. Is it all only the money that matters?

I appreciate your comments. However, I typically spend 45+ minutes with clients in an initial office consultation before discussing fees, The only exception is when the client asks the cost on the telephone. I'm sorry you were unhappy.

Persistent attorney who delivers

I chose Nan after interviewing six attorneys, and I made the right choice. I was impressed at how she clearly walked me through the different processes pertaining to my particular case, in the meanwhile aptly managed my expectation. It's been almost a year since she took on my case, and I am very h...appy to receive the result that I have been hoping for, all with Nan's help in every step of the way. Through out the whole process, Nan was always available via texts for my questions and for status updates. She would text me after every trial date, and updated me on the next step. And when there was more to discuss, she made time to meet with me in her office. She possess intimate knowledge of the process, the people, and the system. Most importantly, she listened to my ideas on what we can do to help with the case, and transparently discussed their merits. Not all my ideas was useful, but I was grateful that she was very open-minded in listening to me. It was a struggling time coping with my case, but Nan really helped ease off the stress. She never gave up, and kept pushing on negotiating with the DA for a better deal. And the result speaks for itself: my DUI charge was reduced to wet reckless. I learned a big lesson, and Nan really helped me through this process.
