Four Capabilities of Bucklin
Capability # 1: Bucklin expresses his opinion and the basis of it in words that communicate to the Jury.
Bucklin has had over 30 years of effective presentation of expert evidence in court. This is evidenced by his election as a Fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, by his membership in the Million Dollar Round Table, and by the dozens of insurers who have recommended him for Best's Recommended Insurance Attorneys. (The International Academy of Trial Lawyers attempts to identify and admit to membership the top 500 trial lawyers in the United States.)
Capability # 2: Bucklin can bring to bear transactional
and trial experience in many states.

Capability # 3. Bucklin has the ability to pass the judge's gatekeeper or Daubert Tests.
No longer can experts be selected solely on their credentials and ability to
communicate. Attorneys must select an expert who is familiar
with the new expert opinion evidence tests, and willing and able to
support his/her analytical approaches in the words that the court is looking
for. In Kumho, for example, the court had no doubt about the
expert's qualifications, but rejected the testimony because of lack of
explanation of a proper analytical approach. An expert is no use in court if
he/she cannot pass the gatekeeper tests of the judge.
Because expert evidence is almost always crucial to the case, counsel should start thinking of admissibility from the beginning of the litigation. If counsel is using an expert, counsel should select an expert who expresses his opinion and the basis of it in words properly. Finding a "qualified expert" is no longer enough. Gone are the days when, after an expert is found to be qualified (routine under Rule 702's standards), the testimony would invariably get to the jury. Now trial lawyers must look beyond the expert’s credentials. So choose an expert who knows how to state his/her method properly and clearly.
Capability # 4. Bucklin is qualified to give opinions on several aspects of the underlying case in a legal malpractice claim.
