We were very happy with the services we received from Buckfire and Buckfire lawfirm in Detroit. We found them on the internet because we had a difficult case and needed to go out of our town and trust someone would understand and take our case.
And we were blessed enough to get a Great lawyer! A VERY SPECIAL THANKS to Bob Lantzy who was very good and made us feel relaxed threw a tough, long road. He went above and beyond to make sure we received the BEST OUTCOME!! I highly recommend him!
Larry and his team were very helpful after my accident. He was always available to answer any questions and made the confusing legal process understandable. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the service they provided and the settlement we received.
I can't thank Larry Buckfire enough. He's an excellent trial attorney and got me a great settlement. The staff at Buckfire Law is very friendly and super helpful. Larry is a great communicator who kept me informed with every decision and detail. Thanks again, Larry! A+ experience!

My brother in law was in a bad car accident and Robert Lantzy was the most understanding and helpful person we could hope for at this difficult time. He was available to us at all times no matter what questions we might have had. Very thankful for his caring and thoughtfulness to my sister and me as I was the one that was helping her through this difficult time.
We highly recommend Buckfire & Buckfire, and particularly, Randy Blau, who handled our case in a professional and sensitive manner. He is dedicated, follows up, and brought the case to a successful conclusion.

Larry Buckfire and his team represented my fathers estate in a wrongful death case. He was extremely professional and performed all of the due diligence necessary to achieve the best possible outcome. I am extremely grateful to Larry and his team for being accessible and maintaining prompt, excellent communication during the duration of the case. He addressed details that were important to me, both morally and ethically, up the the very end. I could not be happier with Larry and his team.
I contacted Buckfire & Buckfire and spoke to Robert Lantzy. He didn't feel it was necessary to represent us in our case but he was personable, professional, honest, and extremely helpful advising our family on what we needed to do moving forward dealing with the insurance companies. I did my homework researching attorneys and I'm glad I did, Bob Lantzy was as good as his reputation!

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
