Buchanan Firm

05/26/2026

We remember Jack Buchanan. Jack founded Buchanan Firm alongside his son, Rob, and daughter, Jane. His personality, values, and way of treating people became part of the foundation and identity of this firm.

Jack was intelligent, curious, generous, and deeply proud of his family. He lived a full life and left a lasting impact on the people who knew and loved him. We are grateful for everything he gave to this firm and to all of us fortunate enough to know him.

Our thoughts are with the Buchanan family and everyone who loved Jack.

Injuries are overwhelming. Getting answers shouldn’t be.

We’re here to help you make sense of what comes next.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember those who gave their lives in service to our country.

It’s a day for reflection, gratitude, and honoring the sacrifice behind the freedoms we often take for granted.

We remember and honor.

Someone called us once because they opened a soda and found a fly in it. They thought they had something. They didn't.

We're not saying what happened to you doesn't matter. We're saying the legal system has a pretty specific bar. The injury has to be significant. It has to have real long-term impact. And it has to make economic sense to pursue, because these cases are expensive to put together even when the attorney works on contingency.
If you recovered quickly and you're back to normal, that's genuinely good news. It's just not a lawsuit.

The people we can actually help are the ones for whom something has changed permanently. Where the injury affects their work, their family, their life going forward. That's who we're built for.

A serious injury changes everything. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Rob came from big law. He represented businesses, partnerships, and wealthy people. That's decent work. But it's a money fight.

What we do now at Buchanan Firm is different.

We represent people the system doesn't expect to win. People who hospitals, insurers, and corporations assume will take whatever they're offered and go away quietly.

Most of the time, those institutions are right. Most people don't have anyone in their corner who knows how these organizations actually operate. Who knows what they protect internally? Who knows where they cut corners? Rob knows. Because he worked on that side.

David versus Goliath isn't something we put on a brochure. It's just what the job actually is. Someone got hurt. The people responsible have every resource available to minimize that. Our job is to make sure they don't get away with it.

What should I do after a semi truck accident?

After a truck accident, things can quickly feel overwhelming and unclear.

In this case, our client was trapped under a semi after it blocked multiple lanes of traffic. The trucking company tried to shift the blame. But when we looked at the full picture, it became clear what really happened. These cases involve multiple layers — companies, policies, and investigations. It’s a lot to take on, especially when you’re already dealing with an injury. You don’t have to carry that on your own.

Tell us your story. We’ll guide you through this and help you understand your next step.

This Mother's Day, we’re thinking about the women who show up every day, often without recognition.

The ones who take care of everyone else, keep things steady when life gets hard, and somehow carry more than anyone sees.

To all the moms, and the people who fill that role in their own way, you matter more than you’re told.

We see you and appreciate you!

We say no a lot.

Not because we don't care. Because we're honest about what a case actually needs to go anywhere.

Three things. Liability, causation, damages. Think of it like a three-legged stool. Defense lawyers only have to knock out one leg and the whole thing falls apart. We have to build all three and make sure none of them wobbles.

Most cases people call about don't have all three. Or one leg is soft. Or the damages aren't significant enough to justify what it actually costs to pursue it.

When we say no, it's not a judgment on what happened to you. It's us being straight with you instead of stringing you along. The firms that say yes to everything aren't doing you any favors.

Who is at fault in a construction zone accident?

After an accident, it’s not always obvious what caused it. Construction zones can create risks most drivers don’t see.

In this case, a serious crash happened at an intersection with poor visibility.
At first glance, it looked like a simple accident. But when we investigated further, we found that the conditions created by a construction zone played a major role.
Sometimes responsibility isn’t obvious and figuring it out can feel overwhelming.
That’s why having the right guidance matters.
