About Thomas
Thomas Economy graduated from the University of Michigan–Dearborn with a B.S. in 1992 and earned his Juris Doctor from Michigan State University in 1996. Those years set the arc of a legal career rooted in Michigan courts and community ties. He carried the classroom training into practice the year he left law school and has spent his professional life working in the state where he grew his legal foundation.
After earning his J.D., Economy entered private practice and has worked as a lawyer at Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. The firm environment gave him steady exposure to client work and courtroom proceedings. Over time he built a routine that mixes case preparation, negotiation and in-court advocacy. He handles the day-to-day steps that move cases forward and navigates the procedural demands that Michigan litigation requires.
Economy holds active memberships in both the Michigan Association for Justice and the American Association for Justice. Those memberships keep him connected to peers and to continuing legal education opportunities. He participates in programs and discussions that touch on litigation strategy, ethics and developments in state law. The professional groups are a regular part of how he stays current with procedural updates and trial practice trends.
Colleagues describe him as methodical. He approaches matters with an eye for factual detail and for deadlines. Clients see a lawyer who explains options plainly and takes the time to answer questions. He spends much of his time gathering records, preparing witness statements and working with experts when a case requires it. His practice reflects steady work rather than dramatic courtroom moments.
Today Economy practices law in Michigan at Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. He represents clients in Michigan courts and handles litigation matters through all stages of the process. His current practice focuses on representing clients in Michigan through his work at Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C.
