I had to hire Chad to deal with a neighborhood issue that was delicate but yet had to be dealt with sooner than later. We discussed options for the most immediate resolution as well as if initial actions did not get the attention of the offending party. He quickly initiated action which brought the resolution that I wanted and expected. I would have no qualms about retaining him again.

I could not have chosen a better attorney than Chad. Chad is a sharp strategist. I went into my lawsuit just wanting my ex to get my name off of a house we owned together when we were married. When it was all said and done I walked away with much more. My name off the house, all attorney's fees paid by my ex as well as a cash settlement. Chad saw right threw my ex and made sure the judge did as well. My ex hired a high dollar attorney with many many years of experience believing that would help him win this case. Chad respected the opposing attorney, however no matter his experience Chad still won my case for me! Chad is very professional, respectful and personable. He became more like family than my attorney. Although I'm glad the case is over I will certainly miss seeing him and his staff. I would highly recommend Chad Buckingham!!!!

Attorney Buckingham was an awesome choice, he and his staff spent a a short amount of time but provided myself and my child with excellent service. Mr. Buckingham made it his duty to make me feel comfortable and fought for me in a great way. He did great research, provided prompt responses and was genuine in every approach. I am grateful, because with his help and expertise I now have full custody of my daughter. Mr. Buckingham I am truly thankful and appreciative to you for your dedication to myself and family. I cannot thank you enough for going the extra mile. May God bless you abundantly!

I consulted and hired Chad to help me deal with a significant traffic ticket that I received. He took care of everything on my behalf, kept me informed every step of the way, and ultimately finalized a deal that was considerably less severe than the original penalty that I faced. I would highly recommend Chad and his team to anyone facing legal issues.

Chad and his team handled my traffic violation with complete professionalism. I will always refer my friends and family if they receive a traffic violation in the future.

Chad is outstanding! Chad pays close attention to detail which is so critically important during the separation process. Chad was extremely responsive and provided timely updates as new information was received. Chad was also very proactive in making sure my best interests were first and foremost. Chad's legal knowledge and level head were priceless as the noise associated with the separation grew. I would, and have, recommend Chad everyday.

Chad expertly handled my separation. He told me every step of the way what to expect. I felt confident that he always had my best interest in mind and he never took action until I was onboard. The only reason I didn’t give him 5 stars was due to delays in working my case as he was switching firms.

This divorce was extremely difficult but main issues were ignoring emails and voice mail, missing scheduled phone appointments, no follow through and poorly prepared for trial. Dropped case prior to being completed and refused to follow through with promises he makes.
