“We take money from the IRS legally, ethically, appropriately and fairly”, John Buckley says with a grin. “We love our jobs.” John is a counselor at law with Buckley Law, a boutique law practice specializing in estate, business and asset protection planning. Buckley Law does business throughout the state of Colorado. His wife Melinda is the firm's legal administrator.

 Buckley Law is unique. All of its employees own other businesses, and that’s how they approach client business issues.  Buckley flew fighters after graduation from the USAF Academy. He attended Harvard Law (he admits he knew the President there). To satisfy his adventurous spirit, he practiced international law and did business throughout the Arab Gulf from 1991 until 1995. “I did well”, John says, “and afterward returned to Colorado Springs, where I felt most at home.”

 Buckley offers a free hour consult for most prospective clients. Afterward, he develops a plan to meet the client’s goals, whether they be protecting a family business or preserving the client’s estate. This process often allows Buckley Law to bill its work at a set fee rather than hourly.

 “We are a high touch, low volume law practice,” says Buckley. “We care about our clients. We bring unique skills, we work hard to serve them, and our clients thank us for this way of doing business.”
