I have worked as a Paralegal in Licking County for close to 25 years and worked closely on cases…read morewith a lot of attorneys, ranging from domestic relations to criminal defense. Jim is, by far, the most exceptional, knowledgeable and professional attorney that I've had the pleasure of working with. He is thorough, leaving no stone unturned, and takes the time to actually listen to the clients needs, never rushing them allowing them to explain their situation. You don't find that mannerism often. I admire his honesty and willingness to fight for his clients, remaining open to suggestions and other avenues to explore if needed. When I needed legal advice, Jim immediately called me after hours and met with me the following day. Any time I come across someone needing legal counsel, he is my "go to" first. It's hard to find someone with integrity that you can actually trust with your life and future when it comes to competent representation, and I proudly give Jim that title.

Right from the start James struck me as the competent attorney I was in search of. From our first…read moreconsultation before even hiring James he was already prepared and familiarized himself with my case information. I walked into his office with anxiety about my case and walked out with peace of mind. He and his secretary Alison were nothing but pleasant to work with throughout the entire process of my case. In October 2024 I was charged with felony drug possession after being pulled over in a traffic stop. I wanted and needed a lawyer that was willing to fight for me. James did exactly that! My charges were eventually dropped dismissed thanks to James. I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome of my case. Having to choose again, I would hire him without hesitation. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a competent and professional attorney who gets results.

Mr. Cesta listened to my complicated situation and then point by point, guided me through all of my concerns. He was professional without being stuffy and at no time did I feel as if I was being talked down to. Of all the things Mr. Cesta could have done, he chose to help me and make sure all of my questions and concerns were addressed.

I live in Virginia and I needed to find an attorney for my nephew who lives in Springfield Ohio. I…read morehad no clue about the reputations of any attorneys in that area. So all I could do was turn to Google, read the reviews, and pray that I select the best one. My nephew was charged with a Class 2 felony that carried 2 to 8 years, so my choice had to be right. I read the reviews and decided that Mr. Bucio (he prefers Chris) was the best choice, and I WAS RIGHT!!!! From my initial contact with Chris, he communicated me with. He followed up with me when he needed to, he answered and explained things to us. On top of that, his staff member Brandi is the best!!!! Her customer service is so professional and friendly!!! Please, if you need an attorney who will work hard for you and remain transparent with you, then look no further, Chris Bucio is your man!! I stand whole-heartedly behind this review!!! Oh, I almost forgot, my nephew's case was DISMISSED!!!! Now, I don't know your circumstances, but I truly believe that Mr. Bucio and his team will do all they can for you. Martha D.
