The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as the Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”), has been in effect since October, 2010. However, its most far-reaching and controversial provisions – a series of mandates that require almost everyone to be covered by a health plan – do not begin until January 1, 2014. Every individual and business will be impacted by those mandates in one manner or another. The impact on you will depend on your “status” (employee, retiree, small business owner, large business owner, etc.) and the actions that you, or your business, decide to implement this year.

As a firm we are dedicated to serving our clients with the highest quality of legal work that our attorneys and staff can provide. We represent many successful Northwest businesses and families, helping them to achieve their goals, whether business or personal.

We are a Northwest law firm who has helped our clients achieve success since 1989. We currently have 22 attorneys on staff with another 16 support personnel providing specialized services in the business, employment, real estate, civil litigation, estate planning, and family law fields.

The firm’s attorneys serve as general counsel to businesses and government agencies, and provide local counsel to national and international corporations. Whether representing the large multinational corporation or the individual business client, Buckley Law coordinates the work of all attorneys who have expertise in several matters rather than assign the work to a single group. As a result, our clients receive the best possible legal advice.

Buckley Law P.C. includes professionals who provide legal services in business and commercial law, mergers and acquisitions, employment and labor law, real estate and land use, civil litigation, intellectual property, federal and state taxation, family and elder law, and estate planning and administration.

We are proud to offer multiple ways to learn about legal issues of concern to you. At the same time, you’ll get to know us just a little bit through reading articles we’ve written, hearing and watching interviews conducted by local media, and more.

What our clients are saying:

  • Thank you so very much for all the work you have done working with me on J’s estate. You have made the experience understandable and virtually easy and you answered all my silly and not-so-silly questions with grace. I will certainly not forget this experience! Thank you again and best of luck to you.

    — S.D.
  • Rob, I wish to personally thank you for your hlep and support regarding my father’s estate.  I cannot tell you how much I appreciated it and what a relief it is to be done with the whole process.  Thank you is not nearly enough to express my gratitiude.

    — M.F.
  • Really loved Dick’s lecture at the National Association of Professional Mortgage Women Conference.  He was the best speaker by far.

    — Anonymous
  • Deanna Franco took over the estate we are responsible for a few weeks ago.  The individual had been deceased for a year and a half and the attorney we had been using had accomplished virtually nothing.  We got in touch with Deanna and she took over the estate handling and has accomplished more in 2 weeks than the other attorney had accomplished in a year and a half.  She has done an outstanding job and we are very pleased with her.  We would definitely refer her to anyone that we know.  She deserves a big pat on the pack and is a great asset to your firm.  Thank you.

    — L.P.
  • Larry Evans is an ethical leader who I trust explicitly.

    — M.R.
  • Thank you for all of your hard work—you’re worth every penny of your fees.

    — S.B.
  • Richard, I want to share my appreciation today for your helping a client to come to the decision to short sale his home.  His situation, as you said, is the exception to what most folks have put before them.  He left my office this afternoon with a list of items to do to begin the process of getting it on the market.  Your kindness and consideration of the client shows why we continue to refer those that need help.  My heartfelt thanks again for your gentle touch!

    — D.M.
  • You deserve to be sitting next to the dolphins right now… but really, Jaye, you are best at swimming with and taming the sharks!  :)   Thank you so much for everything.  I am more grateful than you can imagine.  A bit stunned by the end, but so grateful it is done!

    — Jennifer
  • Thank you for the great information at the class on Friday. I always enjoy hearing you speak and benefitted from the information greatly!

    — D.B.
  • Thank you so much for all you have done for us and our mom. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.

    — The G Kids
  • I appreciate you, Jaye. You are a mentor and a true inspiration to me. Because of you and your example, I know I can make it and succeed in my new life.  I am truly thankful for all you’ve done for my family.  You are an angel on earth.

    — JB
  • I wanted to take the time to thank you for your guidance this week. Over the last 15 years, we have had our share of terminations, but this one was very different. We learned a lot and we will immediately go to work improving our process and documentation.

    — L.G.
  • I want to thank you for speaking to us at the Oregon Escrow Council Convention.  You possess a wealth of knowledge that would be beneficial to all our members throughout the state.

    — J.T.
  • Thank you for your representation once again on my behalf. I know that if I didn’t have you I would have been raked over the coals. I hope that if something arises in the future, I will be able to seek your counsel again. Thank you for all that you do. You are truly my gaurdian angel.

    — A.V.
  • It was a pleasure to hear your seminar on Making an Employee an Owner. I really appreciate the time it took to prepare such a presentation and I learned a lot. Thank you for your efforts and the education.

    — A.S.
  • I would not hesitate to refer anyone to you for any divorce or family law related matter. Like I’ve mentioned before, in addition to the actual legal work I felt your support outside the purely “legal” sphere was most helpful.

    — A.T.
  • Thank you for your ongoing support of Lake Oswego High School.  Your generous donation of legal advice will help fund academics, athletics, arts and enrichment at our school.

    — Lake Oswego High School Senior Class
  • My children and I have never been happier. I feel so blessed and grateful to Jaye & the Buckley team, and constantly sing Jaye’s praises & refer clients to her. Jaye, you’ve been my sword & shield. I admire you deeply. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    — I.L.
  • Thank you for your help and support. Thanks to you we have a much better chance of getting back together with our grandchildren. God bless.

    — G. & G.
  • At a difficult time for us, everyone we had the pleasure of dealing with at the firm was direct, clear, timely, compassionate, informed, professional and well versed in all aspects of the law.  This is something that will stay with us and for which we will always be grateful.  I can not stress enough how tremendous Richard Uffelman and Lisa Edwards were in helping us.  You should be proud that you prove daily that there are still “good guys” hard at work for individuals and their families.

    — Sharon B.
  • Mr. Dick Uffelman has always been so helpful—you can’t improve on very satisfactory service.

    — Mr. and Mrs. Wilson
  • When our parents died within the same year and we inherited the house, my sister and I expected a monetary advance but it turned out to be a financial pit. My meeting with Richard Uffelman and Lisa Edwards could not have been a more pleasant surprise. I was met with unsurpassed knowledge and confidence of what needed to be done. Within minutes I knew they were on my side and I finally started to see light at the end of the tunnel. I greatly appreciated Dick’s thoughtfulness to cost.  I cannot thank him enough for his compassion.

    — David B.
  • Jaye, you and your team helped me get through this and take the high road without compromising what was truly important.  Thank you!  Many times I have caught myself saying, “Oh, that’s why she had me do that!”.  It was very comforting to know that I could trust you and that you had my best interest in mind.  I must say that I am so pleased with the overall outcome!  You have helped me rise above the misery of a horrible situation.  You helped me move forward with a fresh outlook and a clean slate.  Thank you again.

    — Monica C.
  • Rob has been terrific in his professional service for my wife and I regarding our trust and my mom’s estate. I want to especially point out his paralegal’s excellent service as well.

    — G. and J.A.
  • On behalf of the Professional Liability Fund and the new attorneys that attended our Learning The Ropes seminar, please accept our sincerest thanks for leading our roundtable discussion.  Your participation and your sharing of your experience gave the lawyers a much needed and much appreciated opportunity to get information about practicing law.

    — Oregon State Bar PLF
  • Richard, I just wanted you to know how much our office appreciated your presentation yesterday. We all enjoyed it very much and thank you for all you do for us and the real estate community.

    — B.R.
  • Jaye, thank you for your help.  Great job in court on Friday.  I was extremely pleased.  By the way, my mom saw you on KATU and said she was extremely excited to find out you are my lawyer.  She said you were fantastic and you are!  Thanks, Jaye.

    — M
  • Thank you, Lisa, for all of your help.  Right now I have several files with deed and probate issues and am dealing with several attorneys and paralegals, but out of everyone you have been the most helpful and courteous.  Thank you for taking the time to look – I appreciate your help!

    — S.L.
  • We received the CD and supplemental document copies today.  Thank you for your superb work in transmitting all this information to the adverse attorney.  Hopefully we won’t have to do anything like this again.  I am in awe of the story Jillian told about the 100 boxes of dubious documents she sorted through, item by item.  I think we are making good progress.  There are just some things that can’t be done without the help of the legal process.  I am so glad you all are there for us.

    — Stuart & Suzanne
  • Thank you so much for your time and expertise, Charlie!  The agents were very happy with your class.
