BRETT M. BUCKLEY

As a partner with Schiller DuCanto & Fleck LLP in Lake Forest, Brett M. Buckley exclusively concentrates his practice locally and nationwide in the area of high net-worth family law cases. With a specialty in trial, litigation, and negotiation of complex and high stakes cases, he frequently represents business owners; executives; financial, legal, medical, and real estate professionals; celebrities; professional athletes; politicians; diplomats; domestically devoted individuals; and people with multi-generational wealth and their spouses in high and ultra-high net-worth divorce and parental responsibility disputes. “My philosophy and approach in each case is uniquely value-centric and efficiency-driven. My aim is to resolve each case quickly and quietly pre-suit and resort to litigation only when necessary,” says Buckley. “However, when productive and positive settlement is not viable or in my client’s interests, I leverage my skill, resource, and reputation as a sophisticated trial attorney to take the case to verdict.” Establishing a bond of mutual trust and collaboration with his clients from start to finish is paramount to a successful outcome. “With that in place, I can assure my clients that they will find themselves on the other side of the process with a successful, positive, and dignified result, and a brighter future ahead,” adds Buckley, who lives on the North Shore with his wife, Marisa (also a practicing attorney), and their two children.
