I value his ability to keep the focus on positive outcomes and I trust his deep knowledge of legal and tax matters to optimize my position. I also appreciate his ability to bring in the right colleagues at the right moment for maximum benefit. Vas is a great guy who has supported many of my greatest accomplishments.

Jerry Brown

My wife and I had worked with David Buckley in developing an estate plan and family will. The experience from start to finish was outstanding, with care and thought put into the entire effort. This process included not only David, but his associates as well. The whole origination was very professional, making both of us comfortable with our decisions. The thought and care for each detail was over the top. I could not recommend another firm, big or small for anyone looking for excellent legal advise and assistance.

Bob Bell

Our Will was outdated. We felt like creating a Trust was the right thing to do, however didn’t have a clear view of why and all the benefits. Caroline was extremely knowledgeable, a GREAT coach and made the process very simple and easy to understand. Having the Trust finalized brings peace of mind.

Tracy Biederstadt

Our attorney was exceptionally thorough and answered all of our questions.

Amar Patel

Very professional and able to communicate and relate very well to non-lawyers (normal people). The whole process of Estate Planning was executed very efficiently and with the polish and finesse that makes the process that much more understandable and appreciated. Highly Recommend!!!

Excellent experience and advice in completing an estate plan. The attorney was very helpful in explaining options and responding to questions. Five stars for BW.

Bird Hoggren

Everyone at Buckley Fine was efficient, patient and kind - we had to complete some estate planning documents on a tight schedule, so strong communication was also critical. Michael McElroy and his team excelled in all respects. I recommend them highly.

Alfred Johnson

As the Owner of a small accounting practice, I have worked with Linda Fine of Buckley Fine, LLC on a number of occasions. Linda is an excellent attorney that is easy to work with and extremely helpful. My firm refers clients to her for estate planning, estate administration, and corporate work, and I have worked with Linda for my own personal legal needs. I find it refreshing when an advisor is willing to collaborate with clients and fellow advisors to reach the best outcome for our clients. Linda Fine and everyone at her firm always treat people with respect and, in my opinion, that says a lot about how well that expert can relate to clients I refer over.

Steve Fish

The team at Buckley-Fine is at the top of the class. We have worked with them for estate and investment documents. Their knowledge and professionalism is second to none. Dave and his team have make the complicated legalese easy for us laypeople to understand.We have also had occasion to reach out for last minute questions or copies of documents and they always come through--even on weekends.

john rennels

I have used Buckley Fine for estate planning. My attorney, Caroline and her staff have been most professional and cordial throughout the process. All commitments and timeframes were met.

Jeffrey Copeland

This is my second time working with Linda Fine. Her office is in downtown Barrington above the Harris bank. They have a big parking lot and an easily accessible elevator to get to their floor. The office is new and clean. They all were wearing masks and had hand sanitizer and you could feel they follow all the precautions. We worked with Linda and Jackie today. They were very knowledgeable, responsive, and fun to work with. This was for my fathers estate, but my estate planning went just as smoothly. They charge a fair price for their services and I felt they had all the answers to the questions we had, as well as many ideas that require their expertise. I highly recommend their firm and especially Linda Fine. She is fantastic.

Mike Nelsen

A pleasure to engage and work with this firm and specifically Caroline Hecht. Our Estate Planning options were explained thoroughly and in an understandable way. Costs and timelines were outlined and we stayed on track. The professionalism is evident from the first meeting until the delivery of the work product. Highly recommended.

Jack McKee

My wife and I have used David Buckley for over 25 years to handle our wills and their updates, the real estate transactions when we down-sized to a new home and other personal needs. He was always knowledgeable, professional, prompt and efficient. He and his staff are top quality.Jack and Jean McKee

Jenny Wickman

Buckley, Fine has been very responsive, when we needed to complete a transaction within a week! They were on top of all the details, communication was really great! They even caught a couple issues with the contract that we would have missed. We had used Dave Buckley before for our trust and estate planning. Trustworthy, highly intelligent, thorough and fair. I am going to use them for all my needs, no question!

Donald Starkey

I have been a client of Helmut Gerlach's for many years (pre-dating Buckley-Fine). Helmut is the most responsive lawyer of the many I've ever worked with.

Joanne Elizabeth

Linda Fine handled the trust for my Mother and then a few years later, my trust when I married. She made the process very easy both times. I asked a lot of questions and she was patient and thorough with her answers which made me very comfortable. I am glad that I entrusted her with handling my legal needs. I feel confident that there are no loose ends that will give me problems later. I highly recommend her for handling estates and trusts.
