My husband died when a truck left the roadway and struck him. He was off the shoulder of the roadway helping another motorist pull his car out of a snow bank. I had three children and did not know where to turn. I was not only grieving, but extremely concerned as to how I would support my family.

Another lawyer told me to call attorney Thomas Economy at the Michigan personal injury law firm of Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. I did and I am appreciative of that referral. The law firm met with me and immediately began working to get the No-Fault Insurance benefits paid. The process was very confusing to me and they took over and did the work. They also started to investigate the claim against the driver and owner of the car that struck my husband.

The driver and his insurance company denied that the car struck my husband and then tried to claim that my husband was actually standing in the roadway. The law firm immediately hired investigators, an accident reconstruction expert, and began locating witnesses. They even hired an automotive engineer to download the “black box” on the vehicle to prove that the driver was going too fast when he hit my husband.

The work that they did helped me settle my Michigan wrongful death case for $1,600,000.00. Their knowledge of law was second to none and they hired the best experts to prove my case. Best of all, they kept me advised of my case from day one, returned all of my phone calls, and made sure that I understood everything that was happening throughout the entire process.

My son and I suffered very serious personal injuries in a Michigan car accident when another driver crossed the center lane of the road and hit our car. I suffered numerous fractures in my leg and other orthopedic injuries that required surgeries. My son suffered a traumatic brain injury. We needed the best legal representation possible for our case.

My husband was referred to the Michigan personal injury law firm of Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. for our case. Attorney Robert Lantzy met with us and immediately began his investigation. The other driver denied that he was negligent and blamed me for the accident. Mr. Lantzy hired a former state police accident investigator to perform an accident reconstruction and also hired a former automotive engineer to download the black box from the defendant’s truck to prove that the other driver was driving above the speed limit at the time. He also subpoenaed the other driver’s cell phone records to show that he was talking on the phone at the time of the accident.

Because of his efforts, we proved that the other driver was at fault and the driver’s insurance company paid a significant settlement for our injury claims. Mr. Lantzy also made sure that the no-fault insurance company paid all of my medical bills and other benefits. Hiring his firm to represent my son and myself was the best decision I could have possibly made. Many thanks for the great work.

I was referred to attorney Larry Buckfire by my physician after I was severely injured in a Michigan car accident when my car struck a deer. I sustained a number of serious injuries, including a traumatic brain injury, orthopedic injuries to my knees and back, and numerous other injuries. I have two masters degrees and was working in the human resource department for a large company in the Detroit area.

Before the accident, I was a healthy and active person. I exercised regularly and worked everyday. Since the accident, I have been unable to do either. I was shocked when my own no-fault insurance company was refusing to pay my benefits for medical bills, wage loss, and attendant care services after the accident. I had assumed that because I had paid my premiums and was seriously injured in an accident, they would take care of me. I was wrong.

The insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Mr. Buckfire filed a lawsuit against them and made them pay every penny that they owed. My case settled several years ago but occasionally there is still a dispute over a medical bill. I have since moved to California but I never hesitate to pick up the phone and call Larry. He promptly takes care of the problem. Every time I see my doctor, I thank her again for the referral to Buckfire & Buckfire.

When my child was diagnosed with lead poisoning because my landlord refused to paint my apartment, I didn’t know where to turn. My doctor and the health department nurse told me that my son would have learning and behavioral problems when he got older because of the lead poisoning. The health department inspector told me that Larry Buckfire was the best lead poisoning lawyer in Michigan.

I called him and he filed a lawsuit against my former landlord. Not only did he get a great settlement for my son, but he set up a college trust fund for him with a portion of the settlement. His greatest concern was the future financial security of my child and I am grateful for his efforts.

I have been a practicing attorney for over twenty-five years and have offices in both Michigan and New York City. I have focused my practice on complex tort and personal injury cases and have working relationships with the top trial lawyers throughout the United States. In Michigan, I refer my serious and catastrophic personal injury cases to Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. They have obtained excellent results for my clients on very difficult cases. My clients are always extremely satisfied with the personal attention that they receive from the firm.

Ari Kresch, attorney
Southfield, MI and New York, NY

For the first ten years of my legal career, I represented clients who suffered brain, spinal cord, and other catastrophic injury clients in liability cases. Since that time, I have served as general counsel for a national physician, nurse, and medical provider service. Throughout my professional career, there are only a few Michigan personal injury attorneys who I consider to be in an elite group when it comes to representing catastrophically injured clients. Larry and Daniel Buckfire are in that group. Their reputation for ethical and effective advocacy is respected throughout the legal community.

"Families of injured children hire Larry Buckfire to represent their injured child for three (3) reasons. First, without question, Larry is among the elite child injury lawyers in the United States of America, and is clearly the leader in the State of Michigan. He has recovered millions of dollars for injured children time after time.

Second, Larry gives each child's case his own personal attention from start to finish. While he does work with a skilled team of lawyers and child injury experts, when Larry Buckfire makes a commitment to represent your child, he personally handles the case until the very end - and knows your child's case inside and out. Unlike some law firms, your case will never get handed off to an associate - Larry sees it through to the end.

And, third, Larry Buckfire makes sure that your injured child is taken care of forever. He has been at the forefront of planning to make sure injured children have their settlements protected, and their financial needs met for the rest of their lives - not only so the child will be cared for properly, but also so that the families can relax and focus their energy on what's important, which is loving their injured child. Your injured child, and your family, would be fortunate to have Larry Buckfire on your side.

As a nurse case manager, I am frequently involved with patients who are involved in lawsuits. Most of these are from auto accidents and typically involve brain injury and spinal cord injury patients. As a result, I frequently deal with personal injury lawyers on these cases.

My experience with the lawyers at Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. has been great over the years. When I call their office, I speak to the lawyer handling the case, not a paralegal or law clerk. This alone clearly separates them from 90% of other law firms handling injury cases.

The lawyers provide me with great assistance in handling my patients. They promptly provide me with all necessary information to have medical treatment provided and often even contact the insurance company to make sure the benefits will be paid. They all make sure that my bills are paid.

I am a Michigan psychicatrist and specialize in the treatment of patients suffering from traumatic brain injuries. In my experience, there is a small select group of lawyers who fully understand the medicine and science behind brain injuries. There is even a smaller group who understand how these injuries affect people every day and how to best represent these injuries in a legal proceeding.

I have had several brain patients represented by attorney Daniel Buckfire and have had the occasion to meet with him. Daniel is the attorney that brain injured patients should turn to for the best possible legal representation.

I am a former U.S. Army Ranger and an avid biker. I have been riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle for over 25 years and am a member a Michigan motorcycle club. On October 9, 2006, I was riding my bike in Detroit when a tractor-trailer truck pulled into my lane of travel and forced me to roll my bike into an oncoming lane of traffic. I suffered catastrophic injuries, including a traumatic brain injury and numerous bone fractures, which required multiple surgeries. I am completely disabled from my work as a truck driver and have required around the clock nursing assistance from my wife during the 1^st several months after my release from

the hospital.

While I was in the hospital, my wife did extensive research on lawyers on the internet to find the best law firm to handle my case. She contacted attorney Daniel Buckfire and he came to the hospital to visit us. He carefully explained my rights under the Michigan No-Fault law and answered our concerns over who would pay my medical bills and lost wages. He taught us about other benefits, like attendant care, that we did not even know existed. We were very impressed with him and hired Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. to handle our case.

The insurance company for the trucking company told us that they were not responsible for paying my medical bills and other benefits, which was not true. Firm attorney George Burke proved them wrong and they have paid over $500,000.00 in insurance benefits. The firm also immediately began their investigation and hired the best accident reconstruction experts to interview witnesses, take photographs, inspect the vehicles involved and investigate the case. The trucking company blamed me for my injuries, but the experts proved that the truck driver was at fault for my injuries. The firm did not spare any expense in proving my case and settled my case for $1,100,000.00, within one year of the accident.

I could not be more pleased with the work that they did for my family and me. Attorney George Burke paid attention to every detail and fought the insurance companies to the end. Hiring Buckfire & Buckfire for my case was the best decision I could have made. In my opinion, they are the bese motorcycle accident lawyers in Michigan.

I first called a lawyer from a television advertisement after I was rear-ended by a truck and had terrible low back pain. The TV lawyer then referred me to another firm and my call was given to a paralegal, not a lawyer. The paralegal told me that I was not hurt serious enough to have a case and told me that her firm was not interested in representing me.

A friend then suggested that I call attorney Daniel Buckfire about my Detroit, Michigan car accident case. He spoke with me personally and gave me a lot of information that no one else did. I met with him at his office and he understood the serious nature of my injury and began working on my case immediately. My condition worsened and I have had several surgeries. I can no longer walk. Mr. Buckfire fought hard to obtain a settlement of $1,400,000.00 for me.

It has been several years after my case settled and Mr. Buckfire is still fighting for me to make sure that all of my medical bills and insurance benefits get paid. I cannot imagine any other attorney going to such great lengths to help a client. I am grateful for his efforts.
