I was a victim in a domestic violence case and I did not trust that my best interests were being fully accounted for. After feeling pressured by the DA and threatened by the PD representing my ex, I decided to find a lawyer. It’s unfortunate that victims aren’t provided with legal aid because it can often feel overwhelming when you’re on your own as a victim. True to my nature of researching everything, I meticulously scoured through client’s reviews of various attorneys and narrowed it down to a final select few. The other attorneys did not answer, nor did they ever return my call. In hindsight, I appreciate their lack of professionalism because it lead me to Nan Bucknall. She was the only one who took a moment during the lunch hour to personally answer her phone. She allows you direct contact with her through her cell, despite having secretaries and a paralegal at her office! This is incredible and you can rest assured that you won’t be waiting long for anyone to relay her messages to get back to you (as many attorneys do). After a brief discussion with her, I knew I needed to look no further. Now, I understand my particular case was not especially time-consuming or strategically daunting, but I needed Nan in my corner. When I hired her, I knew I was safe. I told her I was vehemently against testifying in court and I can tell you this: after all the subpoenas and continuances, I never had to appear thanks to her. Nonetheless, she was at every court date and reported back to me right away. The peace of mind she gave me was priceless. While no lawyer can ever guarantee you the outcome you wish, it is exciting when they do. With her help, the case was resolved exactly how I had hoped it would be. I am pursuing a career in law and have been around various types of attorneys — Nan is the kind of lawyer I’d aspire to be because she’s brilliant, driven, and holds herself to a high moral standard. She gets right in there and gets the job done. With all due respect to Santa Clara County, don’t expect a public defender to yield even a fraction of the results that Nan can! I highly recommend that you look no further and give Nan a call!

We hired Nan to represent a family member. He was facing a second felony strike. All of the evidence was recorded and in the possession of the police. Nan managed to persuade the District Attorney to dismiss the felony strike and allow him to plead guilty to lesser charges. She saved him from being sent to prison. We met with her several times throughout the case. She took the time to explain what was happening. I cannot thank her enough.

Definitely the best DUI attorney you can go to, no matter what you're situation is, may it be a misdemeanour or aggravated offence, Nan will always find a way out in a structured and methodical manner. I am a current international student (under F1 visa), got into a DUI situation recently(with an alcohol reading of 0.11). I had no idea what to do as I had to deal with the Visa revocation as well. The only option I had was to contact an attorney who could help me out. Nan was the first person I contacted and the response was immediate. I set up an appointment with her and got to explain my situation. After hearing me out she actually didn't promise me anything as my Visa was a fragile one for DUI cases. She was very helpful regarding all the matters and also suggested an immigration attorney(who was also very professional and helpful). My court date was pushed ahead, but she still managed to get an early hearing. My case was reduced to WET and RECKLESS and all credits go to Nan. I am so relieved at the moment and would like to share this moment and advice all the individuals who are currently dealing with a DUI: contact Nan Bucknell law firms. Once again thank you Nan

Nan Bucknell is absolutely the best DUI defense attorney you could ever hope to have. She actually cares about getting you the best possible outcome. I talked with many attorney's before finding Nan. To a person they were all very dismissive, and basically indicated "you'll get the outcome you get". They gave no indication they were going to work hard, and I believed them. Nan on the other hand, was from the first conversation, committed to the best possible outcome; she was relentless, and would not settle for the DA's offer. She got me an outcome I did not even think was possible. My charges were not serious, but Nan still worked tirelessly to get my issues dropped down to nearly nothing. Nan also happens to be a great person. She is warm, engaging, and helps tremendously to put you at ease. She will also listen to your inputs and take them in to use in your defense. Few people would be willing to be this open and flexible. Nan is. You will not find a better attorney, it is simply not possible.

I recently had the worst scenario ahead of me, about to lose my license because of a DUI. Nan was able to quickly see me and access my situation, she was honest, confident, and sincere. Nan prepared me for worst case scenario and also told me what she thought she could do for me and what I could expect. Nan is upfront about the situation and she is confident in her ability to make it go away as quickly as possible. She helped me feel like this total disaster was just a standard day to day thing and that I shouldn't let it upset me. Nan was always available by text and emails and never made me feel like there wasn't a question I couldn't ask, even if I asked it 10 times 10 different ways. She is clear about steps, provides a lot of details, and her assistant/receptionist is timely in updates. It really did seem like dark skies were ahead but it would not have been as easy as it was without Nan. I relied on her and depended on her confidence and it was worth every damn penny. THANK YOU NAN!

I was extremely overwhelmed with my case when it first happened. I met with a few lawyers but none of them relieved me like Nan did from the start. I felt like all of the weight and stress was lifted off of me because of her powerful, dedicated, and compassionate work ethic. She turned my ugly DUI into a DRY reckless charge which was unbelievable and amazing! I know I am very lucky. She always remembers everything you say and is very personable and kind! All while being a very assertive and strong woman at the same time. No matter the case, she will take amazing care of you because she is very smart and goes above and beyond to help you. I'm beyond glad I found her!

Nan has great empathy for her clients. I have worked with her on my son's case. She understands well what is his concern and follows through with her expert help. Highly recommend her for criminal law defense.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Nan was able to get my case discharged and dropped by the prosecution before it was ever filed in court. I too was in serious trouble and did not know where to turn. Searching for criminal defense lawyers and reading reviews online to see who would be best to represent me. Consulted with a few lawyers including Nan who were all highly rated, recommended, professional, and informative. But retaining Nan to represent me was one of the best decisions I have ever made. She is very informative, honest, detailed, and driven. She mapped out the complete criminal procedure and explained each step of the process. And for my case she was able to resolve it before it even went to court, which is the highest, most-best outcome that could ever be achieved and Nan achieved it. I would highly recommend Nan who sets the bar high and works hard to get you the best outcome. Thank you so much Nan! You’re an outstanding lawyer who can deliver outstanding results.
