Best Michigan car accident lawyer- Great attorney
I am from Ohio and was injured in a Michigan car accident. I found Buckfire & Buckfire on the internet while researching for lawyers. I spoke to Daniel Buckfire and he answered all my questions. He also sent me his auto accident book which was very informative. I chose him to represent me in my case and he did an excellent job. Everytime I was in Michigan for court or mediation, the other lawyers around told me that I had the best in Michigan.

Quick, efficient and caring
I can not thank Daniel Buckfire enough for helping in my No-Fault Insurance claim against State Farm Insurance Company. I am a quadriplegic as a result of a car accident and my insurance company denied me a portion of my insurance benefits. I contacted Daniel and he was able to get those benefits paid quickly for me. Daniel is a very caring and compassionate person. Even though he doesn't really know me he treated me as if I was one of his family and made me feel very comfortable. I knew from the first time that we spoke that he would give his all to resolve the situation with little regard for his personal benefit. I had all but given up when a friend recommended me to Mr. Buckfire and he was more than willing to go to work to get me when I rightly deserved. Alot in my life had been ripped away as a result of the car accident but Daniel was there to help me restore as much as possible. He even made sure that I was completely satisfied with the results. I highly recommend him to anyone injured in an accident. He really knows the law and insurance companies listen to him.

"Dan and the Buckfire Law Firm are exceptional attorneys who go the distance if necessary. What sets them apart from the other typical personal injury law firms is their dedication and total commitment to their clients' satisfaction. Among the high level of attorneys who routinely get big settlements and verdicts, most lawyers have the necessary skill, and I count Dan in this group. But it is not as common to find that lawyer who is more interested in serving the client then just collecting the fee. That is Dan. A true professional and a "client's lawyer" through and out. I give Dan and the Buckfire firm my highest recommendation, and I refer all of my Michigan personal injury and accident cases to this top litigator."

"As an attorney with 26 years of practice behind me it is an honor to recommend Daniel L. Buckfire. Mr. Buckfire is a true expert in the legal areas of automobile negligence cases, no-fault insurance claims, dram shop liability, and general negligence cases. The Michigan no-fault system is extremely complex and full of traps for the unwary. An injury victim must have an attorney with the unique ability and experience that Mr. Buckfire offers. Mr. Buckfire gets results for his clients as is clearly illustrated in his recent settlement of $1,375,000.00 in a claim on behalf of woman who suffered paralysis as the result of an automobile accident. Mr. Buckmire has won many jury verdicts against insurance companies for his clients who had been improperly denied their benefits. If you or a family member has suffered a catastrophic injury call Daniel Buckfire before you speak to an adjuster or walk into an attorney’s office."
