Hired Law Firm
I was involved in a car accident last year. I contacted Buckfire & Buckfire and was referred to Robert Lantzy. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. He was caring and compassionate. I provided me with his cell phone number and I was able to call/text with any questions that I had. He always responded within the hour! He kept me up to date on the case and was always willing to explain the things that I didn't understand. He is a great guy and a great lawyer.
My dad was dropped during nursing home stay. He suffered very serious injuries and ended up losing part of his leg. The nursing home tried to pin the blame on my father and denied all responsibility. After contacting a half dozen law firms, we were sold on Randy Blau and Buckfire & Buckfire. Randy's professionalism and extensive knowledge of nursing home negligence cases impressed us and we were able to obtain a very favorable settlement for my father. Randy took care of the entire process.
No feedback. I have good compliment. When I called Buckfire & Buckfire PC Law Firm I was in a bad place. They were compassion and professional with everything they did. They worked hard to see that you receive justice. I never had to call them because they keep me informed what was going on with the case.

When I made my first call to Buckfire and Buckfire, they explained what my rights were, they sent me a book explaining Michigan Law. I was assigned Robert Lantzy as my attorney. He was always available to take my calls or emails. Mr. Lantzy is a very intelligent and capable lawyer. Thanks to him my case was settled and my insurance company paid my bills. I was given a huge settlement. I could not have done this without Mr. Lantzy. I would not hesitate to use Buckfire and Buckfire again!
I had Randy Blau as my attorney and he did a wonderful job, also the legal assistants that helped me get stuff together and helped answer my questions along the way were top notch, this was a hard thing to go through and they did a great job supporting me when my heart was so broken, and hope felt so far off. I want to thank them for helping me pick up the pieces after a life changing blow.
Buckfire & Buckfire did not charge any fees as promised regarding my auto accident. The attorneys that handled my case were experienced, and the office staff were caring. My case was settled quickly and I was consulted at every step. Thank you Buckfire & Buckfire for results beyond expectation!
Mr. Buckfire not only provides outstanding representation, you can tell he really cares & goes the extra mile for you. I would like to personally thank him for believing in me & getting the best results possible against a hard company like AAA! I would recommend him to anyone!

It took a few years to settle my wrongful death case. Randy and Micheal kept me informed every step of the way, even when things got quiet, they were still silently fighting behind the scenes. They explained things clearly, they were forth coming, I felt they had the best interest of my family as they pursued my case. I would definitely refer them to a friend, thanks for everything. KB

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.
