Buxbaum & Chakmak Legal Corp

used to work here and i couldnt recommend anyone better for family law. if you need a trust or will this is the place to go. the paralegals and lawyers there are awesome and very helpful. they also sometimes in special cases do house visits, how helpful is that!

John Howland has been my trust attorney for over 10 years. He explains everything really well and is a pleasure to deal with. I always feel comfortable referring him my clients and family. I have found him to have the highest level of integrity and a warmth that makes you feel comfortable. Kind of hard to believe he is an attorney, sorry John I could not help myself.

John Howland is a highly respected lawyer in Claremont. He does a great deal for the community belonging to Rotary, a past President of the Claremont Chamber of Commerce. He has served on several committees for the city, and the Chamber. He has generously donated his expertise many times to further the betterment of the community. Would recommend with out hesitation.

My wife and I met with Mrs. Kane to get a complete estate planning package in place — trust, wills, medical power of attorney, etc. It could not have been easier! Usually dealing with lawyers can be a rather tedious process but Mrs. Kane made it all go quite smoothly and was very patient explaining everything and answering our questions. It is really nice that she handles things like transferring your home’s deed to your trust as part of the whole package.
I’ve recommended her to family and friends for their estate planning as well!

I met with Mrs. Kane to do my estate planning. She was great at explaining the documents to me, and made the entire process painless and easy to understand. I have recommended her to all of my friends who are in need of estate planning.

I have had the pleasure of working with almost everyone in this office over the last 20 years and do not have one negative thing to say. Everyone at Buxbaum & Chakmak are of the highest calibre of professional. I rely on them– not to fight the dirty fight– but to bring integrity, experience, knowledge and skill to each and every issue they address. Be it contract law, family law, wills & trusts or personal injury (via an extended family member) this team is excellent. John Howland & Dan Hanoum are my go-​to advisors. Charles Zetterberg and, of course, David Buxbaum are top notch minds. I have never met the illusive «Chakmak“but based on my other experiences at Buxbaum & Chakmak I would have him represent me sight unseen.
The office is located in beautiful downtown Claremont (so you can easily go for a nice lunch after meeting with your lawyer). It is professional, well kept and, a not-​to-​be-​underappreciated bonus; the receptionist is polite and respectful. Their rates are not inexpensive but they are honest in their billing. For me, investing in the best minds around on matters of great importance is money well spent. Writing them a 5-​star review on Unilocal is the least I can do.
