A Sense of Peace Came Upon Us Jul 1, 2025

It was a scary day indeed when a relative of ours relayed to us the trouble he had gotten himself into. He had always been a good, caring soul who, it appeared, had been taken advantage of. A detective was now wanting to interview our relative, and we knew we needed some professional help and FAST. Through a friend, we found Attorney Buckmaster. The moment we met him, a sense of peace came upon us. He was such a good listener and laid out the good, the bad, and the ugly of how things could go. It was now a waiting game between Attorney Buckmaster and the Sheriff’s office. Within 8 days, the situation was resolved, and we all breathed a sigh of relief. We knew going in this would not be easy for Attorney Buckmaster, but we trusted him and knew he would do his very best. His staff, which included Laney, set our minds at ease with any questions we had, and she sent out her Friday summary as she said she always does for clients. We will forever be grateful to Attorney Buckmaster and his staff.

Everything was handled quickly Apr 24, 2025

When I reached out to Mr. Buckmaster's firm, the way I was greeted, the involvement and care the firm took to my case was what set me to hire them. My case started around mid-March. Fast forward to today (24 April 2025), I am pleased to say: Everything was handled in such an expedited manner, that I had the idea this was going to be a long and tedious process of going back and forth with the DA and judge. When I got the phone call at 10 am on 23 April 2025, I genuinely was in shock at how quickly everything was absolved! Thank you so much to Mr. Buckmaster and the firm.

Highly Recommend Mr. Buckmaster Mar 4, 2025

I have nothing but good things to say about Mr. Buckmaster and his paralegal Laney. They were able to help me during one of my hardest moments, and I feel blessed to have found this law firm. I was able to meet with him the same day that I called, and they started working on my case immediately. While searching for other attorneys, Mr. Buckmaster’s approach was completely different than everyone else’s that I spoke to, and it was his confidence, reassurance, and experience as a prosecutor that sold me. After meeting with him in person, I felt like I was making the right choice by choosing him to represent me in my case. I would highly recommend Mr. Buckmaster and his legal team to anybody else searching for a strong attorney. I couldn’t have asked for a better resolution.

Buckmaster ensured everything was handled promptly Jan 22, 2025

It’s always a stressful experience when dealing with the law, but Buckmaster ensured that not only was everything handled promptly and with great care and knowledge, but I was informed through every step. It took a great deal of pressure off of the situation, and I really couldn’t be more grateful to have a law office like this to turn to when quick action and a vast understanding of the legal system are needed.

Exceptional Legal Representation Nov 16, 2023

Exceptional Legal Representation - Highly Recommend Mr. Buckmaster! I had the privilege of working with Mr. Buckmaster and his outstanding team during a challenging legal situation. From our initial free consultation, Mr. Buckmaster impressed me with his expertise, compassion, and dedication to educating me about my situation. Upon retaining his services, the efficiency and professionalism of Mr. Buckmaster and his paralegal, Laney, truly set the tone. They immediately filed essential paperwork, demonstrating their commitment to a swift and thorough legal process. Throughout my case, Mr. Buckmaster provided invaluable guidance and presented me with various options, ensuring we navigated the legal landscape effectively. Laney's exceptional due diligence and professionalism were evident in every interaction, making the communication process seamless. In moments where client input was crucial, the law office emphasized the importance of proactive engagement, especially with deadlines and character letters. This collaborative approach significantly contributed to the success of my defense. Mr. Buckmaster's intelligence, empathy, and compassion for his clients set him apart. He exhibited a genuine understanding of my situation, which was both comforting and invaluable. Without his expertise, I could have faced dire consequences, but his firm essentially saved me from a life-altering disaster. I highly recommend Mr. Buckmaster for his diligence, expertise, and unwavering support. His fees are reasonable, especially considering the stellar service provided. My case was uniquely challenging and costly elsewhere, but Mr. Buckmaster's superior representation made all the difference. The law office, equipped with a stellar team, is located in a beautiful downtown Daytona Beach office. From start to finish, Mr. Buckmaster remained by my side, guiding me through the entire legal process. Now, with my life successfully transformed, I am confident that I made the right decision. Whether you're facing criminal matters or considering expungement, Mr. Buckmaster is the superior choice in town. I am grateful for the positive impact they've had on my life and would not hesitate to contact Mr. Buckmaster again for any future legal needs. If you're reading this still, you're making a great decision by choosing Buckmaster & Ellzey!

A Very Good Experience Jun 28, 2023

I ran into some legal trouble in May of 2021 and needed an attorney. While scanning through the ones in Daytona, I found Mr. Buckmaster and read some of his reviews and was impressed.

It turned out to be a very good experience, and I would recommend his services to anyone who needed an attorney. Very professional staff and very friendly.

Highly Recommended by Me Jun 22, 2023

Mr. Buckmaster and his staff come highly recommended by me! They put time and effort into any case they represent! They have helped numerous people I have sent in their direction! If they did representation for my line of work, I would use them in a heartbeat! When looking for an attorney, you always want to find someone who is respected by the general public and respected by their fellow colleagues in the courtroom. Mr. Buckmaster and his staff, in my opinion, are respected by both!

Delivered Best Outcome Oct 29, 2022

Cannot say enough about Laney and Mr. Buckmaster. Laney was always easy to reach and responded promptly. They truly got the best outcome possible for me. Before my consultation with Mr. Buckmaster I met with a different attorney who made all these promises of dismissal without even looking at anything, which is a red flag. Mr. Buckmaster was straight the whole time; he told me he could only guarantee one thing and that is he and his team would work diligently to try to get the outcome I wanted, and he delivered. While I hope I never need a lawyer again, I know who I will be choosing if such an occasion arises. Thank you, Mr. Buckmaster and team, well done sir.

I truly don’t believe I would have found better representation Jun 1, 2022

Often, when searching for someone who is going to fight for you in court against any alleged criminal activity, you will read reviews. It eases you, knowing people have had great experiences before with this particular law firm. This is one of those reviews. I am very happy I chose this firm to represent me. I worked with Laney through most of the process, who was excellent, but had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Buckmaster in person for my hearing. He is a very pleasant man and is knowledgeable and friendly. You will feel you are in good hands, someone who is going to fight for your very best outcome. His staff is very friendly; they are quick to respond to any emails or voicemails and are just overall great. He was even able to assist me in getting items that were taken by the police illegally back in my possession. I truly don’t believe I would have found better representation, and I thank every staff member of this firm for everything they have helped me with! Excellent work. Take care.

I Can Highly Recommend Jeremy Buckmaster May 12, 2022

I can highly recommend Jeremy Buckmaster to defend your case. His office was quick to respond to my initial call and an appointment was set up right away. He is well-versed on the legal process and protocols. Fortunately the criminal complaint made against me was frivolous and without merit. Even so, I was able to sleep much better knowing that Jeremy was in my corner. Thank you, Jeremy!

Worked Diligently and Highly Professionally Mar 23, 2022

Mr. Buckmaster and team worked diligently and highly professionally on my criminal case. As someone with no former criminal record and who caught myself in a very bad situation, Mr. Buckmaster was thorough in explaining legal jargon and procedures that were very alien to me. He was able to suggest my best courses of action and get my charges to a more manageable place so I could have a shot at a good future in society. I am very grateful for his approach, demeanor, and experience as an attorney that truly gave my future the benefit of the doubt!

I couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate, empathetic, experienced, professional, subject matter expert than the folks employed at this firm! Not only did they take on my case late in the game, but they got up to speed and had future plans before our consultation and had answers to all of my questions during this same meeting. I will be recommending this firm to anyone and everyone that needs these types of services. Excellent experience! I’m incredibly thankful not only for this level of service but for how they helped me set up my future life!
