Very professional in handling my personal injury case. Thank you, Mr. Starkey, for all your hard work. The staff was amazing.

Happy Client

Rory Starkey and his staff were extremely professional and worked diligently to resolve my case after my insurance company did not want to pay for my injuries. I really appreciate their hard work and dedication and would definitely recommend them for anyone else suffering a personal injury.

Great Work!

Mr. Starkey has represented me and my family since 1994. He has handled administrative licensing issues, defended civil complaints, prosecuted personal injury claims and handled other very personal legal matters. His representation is and has always been zealous, informative, extraordinarily comp...etent and equally as important-affordable. Mr. Starkey is client oriented and makes certain the needs of the client is his firm's prevailing concern. Most recently The Starkey Law Firm represented me in a slip and fall case that occurred in South Carolina. Mr. Starkey went beyond state boarders and brought my case to resolution by making certain that all of my medical bills were paid and that I was compensated for my pain and suffering and I never had to pay a dime. The Starkey Law Firm is my legal representative and I recommend them to anyone who wants a fighter on their side.

Incredibly Thorough Attorney--Impressed!

Having dealt with numerous attorneys in the past, I have an incredibly strong grasp of the varied competency levels of attorneys in the marketplace. With that being, said Rory K. Starkey has displayed nothing but the highest level of competency, strategic planning, knowledge, and execution as it pert...ains to the specific cases for which he has handled for me and a broad range of cases I might add. His overall concern for the well being of his client and not just the case, in and of itself, allows for him to make decisions based on an overall scope of balancing long term and short term resolutions. He is thorough in his strategy and is very strong in discussing the pros and cons of any strategic approach. I have and will continue to highly recommend Attorney Starkey for any of my inner circles' legal needs.

Posted by Michelle | August 29, 2013 | Debt Collection

Great Consumer Finance Representation

Mr. Starkey represented me in a Debt Dispute Matter where he took "head on" a big law firm out of Washington D.C. that was collecting on a student loan allegedly owed to my old college. The amount attempted to be collected was egregious, erroneous and over-stated. If I remember correctly the allege...d debt was for $12,000.00 plus dollars. I knew I did not owe that amount but did not have the paper trail to prove it exactly. I was certain I would have to file bankrupt. I knew there was a certain small portion of the debt that was actually owed but no where near what the law firm was trying to collect. Mr. Starkey actually filed suit under a Federal Statute known as the FDCPA and was able to resolve the case where my entire debt with my old college was resolved without me paying a penny. Mr. Starkey made no promises except that he would work hard to resolve the matter favorably. He did that and plus more and I avoided a certain bankruptcy filing.
