Excellent DUI Lawyer

Nan went well above & beyond what I expected to score me the best possible resolution I could have received for my situation (a probable DUI turned to Wet Reckless) - and in the arduous 4 months leading to the final say, her commitment, prowess & drive proved second to none. From the very start, h...er meticulousness and experience came through clearly in her game-plan; using key details (from the situation) and educated predictions of what opposing counsel will push for - and if a detail would be missing (like BAC), she’d constantly inquire to get it (calling DMV several times a week for months). As the case unfolded and situation became complex, she’d quickly adapt and push for the best outcome, while adding series of fallbacks to cover all other cases. Often when I was ready to throw in the towel and settle for the presented fate, Nan would encourage me to strive for the ideal outcome. Her know-hows of the DMV and DA’s office was vital to the case, often used it to shield me from the ensuing trial. I never had to deal directly with the DMV or DA, as she’d always represent or appear on my behalf on any hearings. I continued my days nearly unhindered. interacting with her only when absolutely needed (and often she’d notify me when something important came up). Her promptness at addressing my concerns and her proactivity in dealing with new findings permitted me to comfortably continue on with my demanding job. Nan's friendly, funny, caring, energetic, and I always left her office with a smile. She gladly (when asked) give me advice on how to deal with the personal side of the circumstance. I earnestly recommend Nan as strongly as possible. She’s my go-to savior if I (ever again) get into a similar situation.

Thank you nan

It took a year but we did it! She fought long and hard for me and did an amazing job getting a favorable outcome that will lead to the dismissal of my charges. Thank you Nan.

I made it through, so can you!

I'm not sure what I would have done without Nan's help. I was living in San Diego when I got pulled over for a DUI in northern California. I contacted Nan after reading her reviews and was happy I did. I would have never been able to navigate the courts the way she did. Since I didn't live in the are...a Nan attended every hearing for me, and would text me after to let me know the results. She was easy to reach whenever I had a question or needed reassurance. She really saved me from what could have been a devastating time in my life!

Amazingly Compassionate and Dedicated Attorney

I hired Nan Bucknell recently to help me through a very tough situation with the DMV. She was kind, compassionate and extremely supportive. Her attention to detail is amazing as she really takes the time to learn all the facts before offering a solution. She carefully walked me through each step o...f the process and provided suggestions to what would hopefully improve the overall outcome of my situation. She was honest the entire way and prepared me for what could be the worst case but also encouraged me to believe in the best case ending. It was with Nan's help that I was able to fix the situation with DMV, retain my driving privileges and move on from what has been a horrible year of my life. Although I hope to never need her services again :) I would in no doubt hire her in a heartbeat!

Queen of the Courts

As the title states, she truly is a queen(including outside of her practice). I was involved in a hit-and-run and was arrested in another area for public intoxication. Both cases could've been combined but thanks to Nan, she knew how to play the cards right and they were completely separate cases(no ...DUI). It is what she does best after all. I'll admit I'm still a kid and I had no idea what to do, I just didn't want to go to jail or have a record but after researching and consulting with her(free), my mind was at ease throughout the process. Long story short, I trusted(and still do) Nan with my life and followed her game plan. My public intoxication arrest case was completely dismissed and my hit-and-run case was brought down to an infraction(failure to exchange info at scene). Knowing when your court is without you being there is a scary thing. Nan kept me updated every time something happened. She is also very loving and treats you like family. I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone I know. I cannot thank her enough. Thank you again, Nancy!
