Donald R. Strickland

Don and his team represented me in a personal injury matter. The accident took place at a publicly-owned facility maintained by an private outsourced maintenance company, so there were several parties involved. I live in New Jersey, and to complicate things even more my accident took place during a... business trip, which entailed New York state Workers Comp law, insurance and medical procedures. Soon after the accident and surgery, I reached out to a number of North Carolina attorneys to explain my situation. Don was the only one who took my call, listened carefully and gave me his initial conservative assessment. He and his team then conducted discovery and depositions of the parties involved, which led to clear evidence of negligence. The negotiated outcome he achieved was fair and exceeded my early expectations. Everyone on his team was delightful and positive, and the sometimes-tense negotiations with the defendants were conducted with cordiality and honor. Don also helped me manage and coordinate the Workers Comp insurance company, medical providers, and other parties -- not specifically part of his engagement. It was my first (and hopefully last) personal injury litigation, and Don made it a positive experience. I can recommend him very highly.

At every stage of my family's complex personal injury lawsuit - in reviewing the case, investigating the case, preparing the case, litigating the case and ultimately settling the case - Don Strickland and his law firm demonstrated both the highest levels of professional skills and the highest levels ...of interpersonal compassion. Don and his firm were clearly able to understand and explain complex medical records and complex technical issues, and were also able to understand the impact of the negligence on our family and explain all of this to the defense lawyers as our advocates. Throughout the process, we were kept well-informed and were very pleased with the efficiency of the entire staff. The defense lawyers on the other side obviously had enormous respect for Don Strickland and his law firm in the courtroom and that respect seemed to be paramount in resolving the case before trial.

Don and his team represented me in a personal injury case. I was referred to Don by a top trial attorney in Chicago. This speaks to Don's standing in the legal community. In my business I have extensive dealings with all types of lawyers and I found that Don met the highest standards of profess...ionalism. I recommend Don and his team without qualification. This is what I experienced: - Don is extremely experienced and realistic about the potential outcome. What I was told in our first meeting was extremely accurate. He knows his space. - Don and his team are ethical, accessible and results-oriented. - The process was efficient and the team was clear in all communications. They are also flexible and easy to do business with: We communicated by phone, by email and in person. - I followed their advice and they achieved good results for me.

After losing my father in a car accident, I was not looking forward to talking with lawyers. I was under the impression that most lawyers talked a big game, but all of a sudden didn't have time for you after being hired. After 10 minutes of talking to Don, I quickly realized that he was different... than what I had been lead to believe about lawyers. He was actually a very caring person who wanted to help my family and had our best interest at heart. It was also clear that he was extremely knowledgeable in his field of work, but he was able to explain things to us without making us feel dumb. After the initial consultation, my little sister and I knew we wouldn't find anyone better, so we hired him. The whole time we worked together, he never hesitated to call or email me back when I had questions about something...and I had a lot of them. He always seemed to make time to help me, even if it was after hours. It didn't take long before it felt like I was talking a friend instead of a lawyer. He is truly incredible at what he does and I HIGHLY recommend him. I can't thank him or his office enough for what they were able to do for my family.

Don’s representation provided our family with peace of mind during an extremely difficult time. In the aftermath of my husband’s accidental death there were countless unanswered questions. It was obviously an emotional time and Don was able to take the burden of research off of us. He listened ful...ly to our concerns and questions. Don researched all sides of the accident and utilized his contacts in another state to assist on our behalf. He responded quickly to multiple forms of communication and showed compassion for our situation. During our conversations Don always made me feel like his number one priority. I am so thankful I had Don representing me throughout my ordeal. Knowledgeable, ethical, efficient, and caring legal services are what you will find with this attorney. No matter what your unique situation, I highly recommend Don Strickland.
