Excellent Auto Accident Attorney

I was referred to the Stroud Law firm by a friend and I am so pleased with his services. He went above and beyond my expectations. I was kept aware of my case status on a regular basis. I felt as if may case was top priority.

Most Grateful

I had already consulted with one attorney before setting up an appointment with Mr. Stroud. Hands down, I felt more comfortable with Mr. Stroud's knowledge, expertise, and professionalism. He promptly addressed my questions and emails. He provided sound advice and handled my case in a timely manne...r. I would strongly recommend Mr. Stroud as an attorney.

Excellent Reputation of Mr.Stroud

Mr Stroud handled my simple assault charge with simplicity.He took no time going into action for me.He had the case dismissed and expunged.I recommend if you have any problems facing court or other issues hire him at once and don't waste your time with any other attorneys.

Highly recommended for personal injury

Because I am from out of state and my injury was in MS, I contacted Attorney Stroud. Mr. Stroud took my interview as well as visited the site where my injury occurred. Over a period of time obtaining health records from the injury, police statement, conversations between Attorney Stroud and myself,... interview with the insurance agent and Mr. Stroud's aggressive negotiations with the insurance agent, Attorney Stroud negotiated a fair settlement for my claim. I would recommend Attorney Stroud for any personal injury. If he takes your case, I believe that he will do a fair job for you.

He has been successful in personal injury and civil rights cases because he has a very good understanding of those areas of the law and of how the system works.
