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.

I recommend Don Strickland to anyone who has a claim for personal injury or deceitful trade practices claim. I was in an automobile accident in Raleigh, NC that caused me to miss work for about 10 months. The driver of the other vehicle was at fault, but making the case because of North Carolina's co...ntributory negligence law was no easy task. This case was not a typical accident where someone received a ticket and the case was solved. A ticket was giving to the other driver stating he was at fault but somehow the ticket got dismissed. Don uncovered the ticket was wrongfully dismissed under false pretenses. When we took the case to trial now we have two cases a personal injury case against the driver and a deceitful trade practices claim against the insurance company. Don and his team traveled to New Jersey, New York and Georgia to interview several doctors and employees of the insurance company. I was examined by countless doctors, surgeons, and physical therapist. Don's detective work and systematic processes was absolutely vital to the outcome of my case, without it we would not have won both cases. The facts of the case where thoroughly conveyed to the judge and jury. I have worked with many attorneys but none with the expertise, organization and compassion as Don Strickland. My brother and his wife where in a car accident in Charlotte last year and Don Strickland is now their attorney. If you choose Don Strickland to represent you I guarantee you he will fight to win and not hold anything back!
