Kristin Andrews Buckner

Kristin helped me in a complex multistate family law case. She expertly navigated uncharted territory with me & my other legal team, to help me get my kids back. She was quick to respond, and most importantly so kind and empathetic during one of the most emotionally difficult times in my life. If yo...u have the opportunity to hire Kristin, I would not hesitate to retain her services at any cost.

Attorney Kristin Andrews Buckner is a North Carolina top drawer attorney. I have hired 10 attorneys over the past 20 years and have identified four areas that are considered “Attorney’s pillars of performance.” I have found that these areas are the strongest values in a professional relationship that... will decide the successful outcome of the case. I am also a business owner that uses the same assessment to decide the outcome of potential business partners, and the possible outcome of a long-term successful professional relationship. The following are the areas of observation that I have found are above-board and outstanding in Attorney Kristin Bucker. Leadership: Attorney Buckner has earned my respect and trust through her uncompromising integrity and openness. She exhibits a high degree of confidence in herself, as well as in her client. Under the most difficult of conditions she endures a great deal of pressure, and is able to quickly assume a strong leadership role when action is needed. I have personally observed her courtroom performance and was impressed with the respect shown to her by her peers and courtroom staff. Communications: Attorney Buckner demonstrates outstanding written and verbal communications skills. She listens carefully, displaying interest, asks insightful questions, and quickly comprehends her client unspoken non-verbal body language. She maintains communication with her client to keep them informed in a timely and precise manner. I was never left in the dark about the case. She is a skillful, well-prepared courtroom presenter. She presents the case clearly and persuasively to the court, resulting in a successful outcome and less time being spent in the courtroom. Innovation: Attorney Buckner displays creativity and original thinking. She is very resourceful with her courtroom preparation. She is well-prepared by researching the case in advance and finding ways for ensuring that the client is successful in the courtroom. I observed this first-hand in the courtroom during the case hearing. Attorney Buckner received instructions from the court to prepare the written order and return. The insightful and creative Attorney Buckner, rose to her feet and informed the court that “I had taken the liberty of preparing the order in advance for the court.” Ethics: Attorney Buckner’s words are always kept and her commitments are always honored. She has earned my respect and trust throughout the case. She was offered the opportunity to bill my account for travel cost and other expenses from her office to the courtroom. However, Attorney Buckner declined because of her uncompromising fairness and decency. She successfully upholds the values and integrity of her Legal Profession. I have kept a copy of Attorney Buckner’s business card in my office, my car, and on my cell phone for emergencies. She is the first attorney that I will call for advice in a legal emergency!

Mrs. Buckner was great. I hired her to represent me as I sought to get a Domestic Violence Protective Order. As one may imagine, during this time I emotional fragile, and scared. She took a very sensitive and delicate situation and handled it with the up-most care and respect. She gave me confidence.... She was prepared, and well organized in court and during our meetings. She was easy to get in-touch with, and she never made me feel like I was asking stupid questions. After our initial consultation, Mrs. Buckner got straight to work. We met a few times before the court date, and she made sure I was prepared for what was going to happen. On the first date of court Mrs. Buckner was there early enough that we had one last meeting, during court she was professional and persuasive. the defendant was granted a continuance, but Mrs. Buckner made sure I got a sooner date, so this did not extend into my school semester. At the second court date, she made it clear to the court that we did not want another continuance. She represented me with dedication, and persistence. We got the DVPO, and I honestly could not have done it without her. I was facing my abuser, and she made me feel like I was not alone. I would recommend Mrs. Buckner to everyone, especially if you are seeking a DVPO. She is dedicated, hard working, and professional.
