What Fires Us Up
A Chinese proverb says if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. Attorney John Buckley has never worked since converting his international law practice to a boutique estate planning and business law practice in 1994. A graduate of the United States Air Force academy (BS), Webster University (MA), and Harvard Law School (JD), John owns Buckley, P.C., which he runs with his wife Melinda (the firm’s legal administrator) in Colorado Springs. Buckley Law exists to fulfill clients’ hopes, goals, aspirations, and dreams; provide security and peace of mind for your family; and maximize tax savings (legally, ethically, appropriately, and fairly) to keep money in the pocket of the person who earned it – you!
Buckley Law serves clients from a multitude of backgrounds and locations across the state of Colorado, including retirees, farmers and ranchers, and owners of closely-held family businesses throughout the Front Range, the Western Slope, Ski Country (Summit and Eagle Counties) and the Eastern Plains. John grew up in Kentucky on a horse farm and Melinda’s father was a Kentucky equine veterinarian. Thus, John and Melinda particularly love serving ranchers and farmers, and appreciate the laid-back, entrepreneurial atmosphere that permeates Colorado Springs and the State of Colorado in general. John and Melinda also care deeply for their elderly clients. If mobility challenges exist, John will make house calls in place of scheduling appointments at the office.
