Our three key areas of opinions service

Legal Malpractice and Ethics,
     Legal Fees Disputes, 
         Corporate Ethics Audits and Services for Businesspersons

bullet Legal Malpractice and Ethics--Our Services. Bucklin has over 30 years of experience in procedural and transactional work, and also in selection and supervision of attorneys. Legal Malpractice, Lawyer Fees, Insurance Policy Disputes, Ethics for Businesspersons. He had a broad background in actual management of other attorneys, and in  evaluation of attorneys and their work product in the context of being their supervising attorney. Review & Research is performed.  Your materials are reviewed on an objective basis, and  the present status of the professional responsibility code and the legal malpractice decisions of the state involved are researched.  Opinions in a form proper for interrogatory response and settlement discussion are prepared. Testimony for deposition or trial is provided. (It is now critical to retain an expert who can meet the Daubert-Joiner-Kumho style objections to expert testimony.  If you do not appreciate that need, then read about that aspect of choosing an expert, found in the dozens of pages of information on this site.
 
bullet Legal Fees Disputes --Our Services. We review the file and materials and consider the eight critical factors on attorney billings, plus the statistics on attorney fees.  Affidavits regarding the reasonableness of fees are prepared, backed by Bucklin's ability to testify in depositions or courts.  Normally this service is only provided for cases where the legal fees in dispute exceed $500,000.
 
bullet Corporate Ethics Education and Services for Businesspersons  -- Our Services through the Corporate Ethics US Division.  Businesses (including law firms) must be sensitive to the expanding body of ethics best practices and law.  At the separate division of Bucklin.org, named Corporate-Ethics.US, we provide appropriate advice, forms and procedures; and so that employees, lawyers, and Ethics of Professionals and Business Management executives can avoid ethics problems that can put the firm into court as a defendant. (If your firm is subject to federal sentencing guidelines and you want an outside ethics audit, we can provide it.) Practical tools for management are provided in these seminars and keynote talks. If you are interested in business ethics you may want to check the dozens of pages of information at www.Corporate-Ethics.US   As the name implies, the site is devoted to business ethics for United States firms.
