Background
Samuel O. Buckley, III is Of Counsel to Willis & Buckley, APC. A former chemical engineer turned lawyer, he brings rare scientific and technical depth to environmental law, toxic torts, products liability, civil litigation, and administrative law.
That combination of legal and engineering expertise has made him a valuable asset in complex chemical-exposure and product-defect cases, where establishing causation and damages requires command of both the law and the underlying science.
