Even though I have a Palo Alto-based business, I am licensed as an attorney in another state. So, when i was asked by a friend what to do about a California DUI, I was happy that I had come to know Nan Bucknell and her highly professional and reliable legal services. Without hesitation I referred my friend to Nan ... and any attorney is very careful to refer clients only to fellow lawyers he can trust with absolute confidence and no reservations. --- Nan Bucknell is such a lawyer.
My friend was from out of state and in the process of moving to California, making the entire process even more difficult. Nevertheless, Nan was able to resolve the matter as a misdemeanor offense with the minimal fine and community service. She made her client feel secure and protected in what can be a scary experience, by listening to and answering every question openly, honestly, and completely. And, my friend never even had to appear in court!
I'm sure Nan's fees aren't the lowest available; but, they were very fair and reasonable. Googling for "cheap lawyer" is probably as smart as searching for "cheap skydiving"--not very bright. When getting legal services, "cheap" is a dangerous word. Nan's fee to my friend wasn't cheap but it was lower than most, and was a fixed sum with no "surprises". And, Nan delivered every service she promised.
Bottom-line? Nan Bucknell is a "lawyer's lawyer". She's competent, professional, comforting, reliable, reasonably-priced, and effective.
