Bar Register The Best Lawyers in America Primerus

Welcome to Buchanan & Buchanan, a personal injury law firm that represents people, not insurance companies.  We have a well-earned reputation for providing aggressive and high quality representation to victims of catastrophic injuries because we know both injury law and medicine.  Unlike other law firms, we employ an experienced medical doctor (a former hospital chief of staff) and a registered nurse as members of our team.  They work closely with our clients and attorneys, from the initial interview through settlement or trial, overseeing medical issues, advising on strategy, and selecting top-notch medical experts that are critical to an excellent outcome.  Their invaluable assistance has made us one of the Midwest's leading medical malpractice firms.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured, please contact us for a free consultation so we can put our resources to work for you.

The Power of Experience

Contrary to common belief, not every attorney has courtroom experience.  Most attorneys in fact rarely step into a courtroom and few have ever tried a case before a jury.  Those who have been successful in court and discerning in the cases they will accept and handle have more clout in negotiations, and more credibility with judges, opposing lawyers, insurance companies, and juries.  

Few attorneys anywhere in the nation can match our success in the courtroom or our experience with matters involving serious injuries and medical issues.  In short, we are prepared, tested, and proven. 

Q&A: Our Recent Name Change

Formerly Buchanan & Beckering, effective September 7, 2007 our firm name has changed to Buchanan & Buchanan.  This little change follows Governor Jennifer M. Granholm's appointment of our former partner, Jane M. Beckering, to the 3rd District of the Michigan Court of Appeals.  We congratulate Jane who will make an excellent and fair judge.  In the meantime, partners Robert J. Buchanan, John C. Buchanan, and Kevin M. Lesperance continue their 75 years of collective jury trial experience and commitment to providing the highest level of catastrophic injury litigation counsel.
