A truly remarkable professional who genuinely cares.

Theresa is one of those rare lawyers who excels at what she does while combining a high level of professionalism with her exceptionally caring personality. In our work together, Theresa displayed outstanding organizational skills, deep knowledge in her field, and extraordinary competence. As someone ...who prioritizes helping others, honesty, and doing what’s right, I was able to instantly recognize honoring the same values by Theresa. While enjoying my work with Theresa, I was always feeling that I could trust her and was cared by her. Theresa was able to help me feel heard, protected, and understood and to successfully close my case. I am very grateful to Theresa and highly recommend her to anyone, even those who may feel like it’s easier to just accept the loss and give up rather than trying to prove your rights and getting the necessary treatment. Thank you Theresa!

Mr. Javier Gomez

I highly recommend Ms. Buchner, if you are confused, bewildered as to what to do when involved in an auto accident, Ms. Buchner is the attorney for you, I was rear ended but I felt I was the guilty party when I was not, Ms. Buchner help me understand what where my rights because my own insurance woul...d not help. She help me received the medical help I needed and more importantly she dealt with all the medical billing because as I said before your own insurance will not help you. Ms. Buchner was proactive on my case keep me inform on all aspects of the case, and let me tell you I felt part of the team to get me well medically, she took action to get my car repaired and when I would received a legal letter from the person that rear ended me, she would take personal charge where I would not worry at any time. Theresa M. Buchner got me a substancial settlement, paid all my bills accumulated during the case. I highly recommend Ms. Buchner and her staff to take personal care of your case.
