About the Firm
Injury Attorneys Righting Wrongs
You’re Not Alone.
We’re Here to Help You Move Forward.
85+ Years Combined Experience
No Fee Unless You Win | Medical-Legal Expertise
If you’ve been seriously injured due to a medical mistake or auto accident, you’re likely overwhelmed with pain, bills, and questions.
At Buchanan Firm, we see you, and we’re here to help.
Our Grand Rapids–based team offers free, immediate evaluations from the people who will actually handle your case—no handoffs, no commissions, no “TV lawyer” gimmicks.
We limit our caseload so we can focus fully on helping people like you. Because we work on a contingency basis, you pay nothing unless we win.
Our attorneys collaborate with trusted medical experts to uncover the full impact of your injuries, build a powerful case, and help you move forward.
Why Do Personal Injury Lawyers Care About Your Story?
Most people don’t expect to need a lawyer. But when someone else’s negligence turns your life upside down, you deserve more than legal help—you deserve justice, clarity, and compassion.
At Buchanan Firm, we’re not just here to file paperwork. We’re here to listen to your story, fight for what’s fair, and help you move forward with confidence.
We handle only serious vehicle crash and medical malpractice cases—because that’s where we can make the biggest difference.
We don’t chase volume. We choose to represent real people with real losses—and we work tirelessly to make sure those losses are acknowledged, valued, and made right.

You’ll Never Be
Just Another Case to Us
What makes Buchanan different from high-volume injury law firms?
At Buchanan Firm, we take a different approach. You won’t be passed down to a junior associate or shuffled off to another law office. From day one, you’ll speak directly with the team who will walk through your case—step by step, with full attention and care.
We keep our caseload small because the people we represent are facing some of the hardest moments of their lives. That deserves focus, respect, and honest answers.
We don’t treat clients like case files. We treat them like family. If we can help you, we will. And if we can’t, we’ll tell you that, too, with clarity and compassion.
Serious Injuries Deserve Serious Medical Insight
How does a law firm understand what really happened to you—or prove it?
Cases involving catastrophic injuries or death from an accident or medical malpractice—including brain injury, birth trauma, paralysis, disfigurement, severe burns, or wrongful death—require deep medical understanding.
At Buchanan Firm, we work closely with trusted medical professionals from the start. They help us review records, identify what went wrong, and explain it clearly so insurance companies and juries understand the full impact on your life.
You won’t need to explain your diagnosis to us. We speak the language of medicine because we’ve built strong relationships with those who live it.
How Do You Show a Jury the Real Impact of a Serious Injury?
We Use Technology to Make Your Story Impossible to Ignore
When your future is at stake, it’s not enough to explain what happened—you have to show it. At Buchanan Firm, we use courtroom-tested visuals, high-definition video, and digital storytelling to make sure the truth is fully seen and understood.
From animated crash reconstructions to real-life medical timelines, we create powerful, easy-to-understand presentations that help juries connect with your experience. These tools don’t just support your case, they move it forward.
We also collaborate with trusted medical experts to explain complex injuries in everyday language. And we talk to jurors like people because your case deserves to be understood by those who decide its outcome.
