Testimonials

Hiring Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. was the best decision I could have made for my Michigan motorcycle accident case.
Michael Smith
Waterford, MI

I have had several brain injury 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.

D.O., Psychiatrist
Farmington Hills, M

When I call their office, I speak to the personal injury lawyer handling the case, not a paralegal or law clerk. This alone clearly separates them from 90% of other law firms handling injury cases.

Fees

Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C handles all personal injury cases on a contingent fee basis in the amount of 33.33%. Under this type of fee agreement, the client does not pay attorney's fees unless a judgment or settlement is obtained by the firm. When the judgment or settlement is obtained, the client pays the attorney's fees from the proceeds of the settlement. The firm advances the costs related to the litigation on behalf of the client and recoups those amounts from the total settlement or judgment before calculating the attorney fee.

Contingent fee agreements are permitted in the State of Michigan and State of Ohio. Due to the tremendous costs incurred in litigation and significant number of attorney hours involved in a case, this fee arrangement makes it possible for working individuals to hire highly skilled attorneys to seek and assert their legal rights.
