Client Testimonials
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 chose Buckfire & Buckfire for my motorcycle accident case and they settled it for $1,100,000.00. In my opinion, they are the best motorcycle accident lawyers in Michigan.
- Michael J. Smith, Waterford, MI
A friend then suggested that I call attorney Daniel Buckfire about my Detroit, Michigan car accident case. He spoke with me personally and understood the serious nature of my injury and began working on my case immediately. My condition worsened and I have had several surgeries. Mr. Buckfire fought hard to obtain a settlement of $1,400,000.00 for me. I cannot imagine any other attorney going to such great lengths to help a client. I am grateful for his efforts.

The person providing the services can be a family member, friend, or someone that you hire to help you.

What To Do If Your Household Service Claim is Denied
