Donald R. Strickland

We have known Don Strickland for 6 years and he has handled more than one case for us. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found Don to handle our first case and is why we hired him immediately for our second. He is top notch, very professional, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and always opera...ted with the upmost integrity. He always treated us and our situation respectfully. We never doubted our case was in the best hands possible and that he would go above and beyond to win for us. We would most definitely call Don again if we ever needed him to handle a case like we experienced in the future and highly recommend him for personal injury cases.

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.

Don and all the members of the firm were just fantastic. This team of professionals will make you comfortable and confident during a potentially stressful and life changing event. Our family was treated will respect and understanding during all phases of the lengthy legal process. Don has the proven... ability to navigate and excel in all aspects of legal world and yet remains compassionate and caring for the family involved. The complexity of our son's wrongful death case needed not only a fine legal team, but it also needed subject matter experts Don's team excelled at both. This is the firm you are looking for!

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.

My sister underwent a very complicated surgery and because of a number of failed medical practices/procedures, it resulted in her becoming a paraplegic. I was outraged at her situation and overwhelmed with the prospects for her future physically, emotionally and financially. When I researched the po...ssibilities of legal recovery for medical malpractice the chances seemed slim or none. The odds seemed stacked against us dealing with big Medical, I was certain there were would be many more physicians willing to testify that it was not malpractice than those supporting our contention. I will always remember our first meeting with Don Strickland. He, having gotten out of a sick bed to meet with us, was exceptionally compassionate, professional and hopeful. He immediately began an exhaustive effort to collect all of relevant medical records which was highly detailed and to us very complicated. In short order he had this information sorted out and a comprehensive strategy developed. He sourced and obtained expert medical authorities to support our claims. When he formally presented our case I was awestruck with how professional, comprehensive and cogent it was. Whatever doubt I had regarding responsibility in our case was swept away through Don's masterful recounting of the facts. Needless to say we were successful! We thank God for bringing Don Strickland along in our time of desperate need. We could not have found any lawyer more skilled in his field!!
