Great Lawyer!!

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.

Awesome man/the best Attorney you could hire!!!!

Donald Strickland is an outstanding attorney, but most of all he is a real person with your interest at heart. When we lost our son to a drunk driver, Don sat and interviewed with us...after the interview, he asked everyone to leave the room except for my husband and myself. Don explained the trau...ma that his family went through when he lost his son to a tragic incident. That is when we knew that God led us to the correct man. Don always returned our calls, whether he was in the office or in his car or out of town, he is reliable and trustworthy. Don fought for us diligently and won our case. I cannot say enough about this man and his dedication to his profession. He will always be in our thoughts and prayers for continued success. You cannot go wrong by hiring this man as your attorney.

An excellent experience

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.

wonderfully refreshing, down to earth and highly qualified

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!

Experience & Professionalism Get Results

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.
