Law Offices of Nan Bucknell

I had the pleasure of working with Nan L. Bucknell over seven years ago, and I continue to be impressed by her professionalism and genuine care for her clients. Despite the time that has passed, she still remembers me and my name, which speaks volumes about the kind of attorney she is. Recently, I reached out to her for advice on a matter outside her practice area. Even though it wasn't something she handled, she still took the time to listen, offer thoughtful guidance, and point me in the right direction. Her willingness to help, without hesitation and without charging a fee, felt more like the support of a trusted friend than a formal legal consultation. It is rare to find an attorney who leads with both expertise and true compassion. Nan Bucknell is one of those rare professionals who not only knows the law but cares deeply about the people she serves. I am incredibly grateful for her support and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of legal representation.

I never imagined I'd be in this position at 70 years old, being pulled over by the police and charged with a DUI. As a Black man, that experience shook me to my core. The fear, confusion, and shame hit all at once. You start questioning everything, what's going to happen, how this will affect your life, and whether anyone will believe your side of the story. What made it even harder is that I actually know and respect a lot of police officers, one of my closest friends and my brother-in-law both served on the force, and I've always had good relationships with law enforcement. But even with that, the whole situation was terrifying. After the initial shock wore off, I knew I needed help. A few friends told me to get an attorney, even though, being retired, I was worried about the cost. But I also knew that not having the right attorney could cost me so much more. I did my research, made a few calls, and when I spoke with Nan, something just clicked. She was sharp, compassionate, and had this calm confidence that made me feel I was finally in good hands. I could tell she understood both the legal side and the emotional weight of what I was going through. Hiring Nan turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. She's tough, no nonsense, but she also listens and genuinely cares. I trusted her completely, and she proved me right. She fought hard for me and somehow convinced the DA to drop the case entirely. I can't even describe the relief I felt when I heard the news. It was like a hundred pounds lifted off my shoulders. I'm so grateful to Nan for her hard work, her compassion, and her belief in me when I really needed someone in my corner. If you ever find yourself in a legal situation that feels impossible, call Nan. She's the real deal -- smart, fearless, and genuinely kind. I'll be forever thankful for what she did for me.

Nan Bucknell is a legendary, highly experienced lawyer who accomplished the impossible by getting my felony domestic violence charge down to a full dismissal. For nine months she and her amazing paralegal, Gina, worked on my case and answered any questions I had. Nan was highly communicative, quick to respond, and reassuring yet practical about what she can realistically deliver in terms of case outcomes. She is straightforward, has no unnecessary fees, and fights for her clients tooth and nail. You cannot go wrong with Nan Bucknell and the incredible team that she has to support her years of experience. I highly recommend Nan and cannot thank her enough for the hope she brought back into my life and hope you will consider her for your legal needs, too. From felony to dismissal, she worked magic with my case and I was beyond grateful to have her as my private attorney during one of the darkest periods of my life. As an aspiring law student, Nan set the bar for me on what it means to be a true lawyer, in and out of the courtroom.

I cant say enough good things about Nan. Im on a visa, so the stakes were high and a misstep could put me in a lot of disadvantage. From Day 1, she was kind, approachable, straightforward, laser prepared, always ready with the right material and crystal clear about next steps. I was able to setup multiple session and she made sure that every detail of the case and its proceedings is clear to me. Her strategy and attention to detail were outstanding. If you are looking for a brilliant lawyer with years of experience, genuinely compassionate about fyour case then you should choose her.

My positive experience with Nan was "lightweight" but is probably still valuable evidence of how she handles clients: I called and first, she answered the telephone in person. I had a civil issue but it turns out she only handles criminal cases; nevertheless, she spent 10 minutes on the phone with me reviewing my situation and she made a few recommendations. When in a jam that requires finding a lawyer, finding someone like Nan who helps get me onto a good path is a Godsend.
