Well Talked to law firm They wanted me to get all medical papers on my case and mail it to them. I did all of the running around and dropped them off. waiting to hear back from them they wanted to see how many times the doctor recorded that i showed him or told him about a lump that ended up being cancer. they sort of wanted me to prove to them I showed him more than one time. so I got medical papers showed him in 2019 and in 2020 several times. so after I dropped off papers it was a couple weeks before I even heard back from someone and they wanted to know if I saw any other doctor about this between the first time in 2019 and march 2020 I said no he was my primary doctor and said not to worry. well they said if you saw another doctor we might of took your case how stupid of a answer I see my primary doctor he tells me nothing to worry about 3 times but because I didn't see another primary doctor its my fault. My Insurance doesn't even allow you to do that.

They are not the firm you want handling your case. That simple, they are horrible. Bob is a liar and blows off his clients. Also, they intercept phone calls going to Mike Morris from the hospital. When I asked them if they were affiliated, the secretary said they were. All Lies!

This firm will take your case, have Mr. Larry Buckfire evaluate it, such as $23,000., and bait and switch to unexpierenced lawyers within the firm. I my case I had 3 lawyers. I not only had to find the derfendants when they moved, but then prod him on when the case got bogged down. This lawfirm also dismisses some of the defendants' without discussion with me, the client. A defendant was dismissed because he supposedly had no assets. A judment is good for 10 years &can be renewed for another 10.

Atty. Robert J. Lantzy is rude and argumentative. Can't recommend him.

Please be aware of hiring this firm. They will pull a "bait and switch" and you will not end up with the experienced attorney that you met on your initial consultation. Instead, you will end up with an attorney fresh out of law school that will botch your case. Having to do your own leg work to get documents from government offices is ridiculous when you hire an attorney. Requests for a more experienced attorney are ignored.

 
Toxic Torts

Hired Law Firm

At the settlement conference, Robert Lantzy, the attorney from the firm that represented my son and I exhibited strange behavior, for example, the insurance company first offer was $115,000.00. My attorney refused the offer, asking only $55,000.00. However, conversation between the lawyer and mediator was strange, because the mediator wanted to know why my lawyer insisted on asking only $55,000.00, a question I never had answered, and he refused to provide a copy of the actual settlement check.

    Michael J. Smith, Waterford, MI - I was riding my motorcycle in Detroit when a tractor-trailer truck forced me to roll into an oncoming lane of traffic. I suffered a traumatic brain injury and bone fractures, which required surgeries. I chose Buckfire & Buckfire and they settled it for $1,100,000.00. In my opinion, they are the best motorcycle accident lawyers in Michigan.
    Sharon A., Ann Arbor, MI - I chose Larry Buckfire as my medical malpractice lawyer for a wrongful death lawsuit against the VA Hospital relating to my father's death. I give him the top rating for a Michigan medical malpractice attorney. He is the best!
    Jeffrey R., Detroit, MI - I highly recommend Buckfire & Buckfire P.C. They won a Saginaw nursing home neglect settlement for my father after two other law firms turned down the case.
    Pat V., Cleveland, OH - After suffering serious injuries in an Ann Arbor car accident, I wanted the top-rated Michigan auto accident attorney to handle my case. I chose Daniel Buckfire. Every time I was with other lawyers in Michigan, someone would say how lucky we were to have the "best". So thanks again!
    Robert M., Lansing, MI - When I was injured in a Lansing bicycle accident, I chose the firm to represent me in my uninsured motorists claim. If you are looking for the best car accident lawyers in Michigan, call them now!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

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.
