Angela King
Our mid-sized manufacturing company retained John Bucheit at Parker, Hudson, Rainer & Dobbs after a significant contract dispute with a national distributor threatened to derail our operations. From our initial consultation, it was clear we were dealing with a litigator of profound depth. His 27 years of experience, particularly in complex commercial litigation, were immediately evident. He didn't just grasp the contractual nuances; he understood the underlying business pressures and crafted a strategy that protected both our legal position and our commercial relationships. His recognition in Best Lawyers and Super Lawyers for commercial and business litigation is well-deserved. John is a strategic thinker who anticipates opposing counsel's moves, and his calm, measured demeanor in mediation was incredibly effective in securing a favorable settlement. The one area where we occasionally wished for more was in the timeliness of non-urgent email responses, as his caseload is clearly substantial. However, when it mattered, he was always accessible. For any business facing high-stakes litigation in Chicago or beyond, John Bucheit provides exceptional, seasoned counsel. We are very satisfied with the outcome he achieved for us.
