When my wife and I found out we were having a baby, my father in law insisted that we get our Estate planning done. Nick sat down with us and was able to put together a plan that made the most sense for where we are in life, and was able to explain everything clearly and professionally. We were treated extremely well, our wishes were met, and we are very happy with our Estate plan.

Response from owner

My sister and her husband worked with Buckley Law on their will and trust several years ago. As my brother-in-law approached his end of life, I helped my sister during this difficult time, including interaction with Nick and John at Buckley Law. They were professional, patient, compassionate and helpful in letting my sister and me know what she needed to do during this transition time. I highly recommend Buckley Law.

Hi, I get it, everyone hates being cold called but I had to cold call Mr. Buckley cause that's my job and a lot of people reject me in mean ways but Mr. Buckley didn't. He called me and said "no" in a kind and gracious way. I didn't need legal services but in working with a lot of lawyers who are just mean and scummy, he seems like he's a person of character even when he doesn't have to be (aka when someone interrupts his day with a cold call).

My wife and I had been putting off our estate planning until we found John and Melinda Buckley. We were comfortable through the entire process. John was patient to explain difficult aspects of our trusts in a way that put us at ease. Their entire team worked on our case and spent time to ensure it met our unique needs. We liked that John had gone to the Academy, served, and had a Harvard law degree. His legal knowledge was obvious when we spoke with John. This is one of those areas where we were not looking for the cheapest lawyer in town and we are beyond happy with the products and service we received from Buckley Law. Big thanks for helping us sleep easier at night.

John...is professional, punctual, AND personal. I have found him easy to talk to, and be around. His contribution to my legal dilemma... cannot or should not be underestimated. I am moved...by his proactive non judgemental position in resolution...and problem solving. Thank you....

Buckley Law did a truly outstanding job for us. We needed to have our Wills and Trusts updated and they did a fabulous job. Our situation had some wrinkles that added a certain amount of complexity but they handled everything smoothly. We ended up with a binder that organized everything and we are very pleased. Highly recommend!

We just had Buckley Law do our estate planning and build our trust. John was great, he got to know us and tailored the plan to fit our needs and concerns. We dont have a lot but feel much better that it will go where we want it to go. Great service.

The Buckley Law Firm was recommended to me by my Cardiologist. My estate plan was out of date. John reviewed the documents and suggested updating only one. He believed my attorney from 2014 had done a good job. I asked him to update a couple of the documents and then met with Melinda to sign them a few weeks later. Great people to work with! I felt like they truly cared about my wishes and gave me confidence to move forward with many decisions.

Written by Walter and Teresa Thornhill: My wife and I moved to the Springs area about a year ago. We had a living trust but needed someone to change a few things. When asking who could do this Buckley Law came highly recommended. We are so glad we went to them as they were very patient and explained things until we understood. All of the people at Buckley Law are friendly, accommodating, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend them.

As a Compliance Officer I work closely with many attorneys. John and Melinda Buckley are the epitome of professionalism! The initial evaluation was thorough and followed by phone calls to ensure that all aspects of the trust were correct. John presented multiple options with in depth definitions and allowed multiple questions since this is my first trust. His depth of knowledge is remarkable. I highly recommend this firm!

We were totally impressed with the incredible expertise of John and Melinda Buckley. We have had our trust revised several times in the past 30 years, but never with the thoroughness, attention to detail, and expertise that we received from Buckley Law. John and Melinda listened to our ideas and helped us craft a personalized plan that honors our values and maintains our legacy. We are so grateful to be their clients!

Buckley Law did an excellent job. Particularly impressed with the fact that because our situation was unusual, John interviewed my husband and me multiple times to ensure that he had all facts correct and that our wishes were guiding the services Buckley Law provided. It is always difficult for laymen to judge an attorney. We spoke with five attorneys prior to hiring this firm. I believe we made the right choice.

John and Melinda are the epitome of professionalism. John listened, absorbed and constructed our Living Trust that was exactly in keeping with our desires. The detail was extensive. Areas of necessity were covered to a level that gives us complete comfort that our final wishes will be executed. John helped make a difficult process comforting. I highly recommend Buckley Law. You will be taken care of and very impressed!
