This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Hank Stout is the attorney to go to.

I was injured in the oilfield when pipe fell on me. I had to get a total knee replacement. The company tried to say it was a previous problem. Hank Stout made sure I got all the medical and emotional support that I needed to get me and my family thru difficult issues. Mr Stout treated me with kindnes...s and respect , and when it came time for litigation he was tough and confident. He gets the job done. I highly recommend Hank Stout.

Terrific

2. I was seriously injured in a car accident when a driver that should have yielded slammed into the passenger side of my vehicle. When I learned that I would need neck surgery, I called Sutliff & Stout to find how whether they could help, and I’m so glad that I did. They helped me get the medical tr...eatment I needed and were genuinely interested in my recovery. The only thing I would have done differently is called them sooner.

Best decision

Getting hit head-on by an oilfield truck was bad enough, but to also have the insurance company try to say that I was the one at fault, convinced me that I needed an attorney. I decided to call Hank Stout at Sutliff and Stout Firm and it was definitely the right decision. The lawyers were very kno...wledgeable about my type of case. They helped me get the medical care I needed and gave me a fair settlement. I recommend Sutliff & Stout to everyone I know.

Huge Help and Treated Fairly

After I was injured at work, I didn’t feel like the company was treating me fairly or getting me the care I needed for my injuries. I decided to call Sutliff & Stout to discuss my options and they were a huge help. Not only was my lawsuit against my company successful, but the Firm made the process ...as stress-free for me as they possibly could.

Highly recommend!

I guess you could say I was at the wrong place at the wrong time quite a bit (I was involved in 3 car accidents in 18 months). Although I viewed my case as a "lower profile" type, Hank never made me feel that way. I retained Hank after dismissing another attorney who after almost three years was unab...le to reach a settlement on my behalf. He walked me through the process, kept me informed and aggressively fought for what I felt was important. Hank is very knowledgeable, honest and is prompt in returning phone calls, emails and answering any and all questions. Because of his determination and experience, I received three times as much as the previous attorney was able to settle for. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and have been able to move forward with my life. God forbid I am ever in a need for an attorney again, I need to look no further than Sutliff &Stout. You don’t need to take my word for it, just check out the “Results” section of their website, www.sutliffstout.com The results speak for themselves.

"I have known Hank for several years. When he was on the defense side, and I had several cases against him, I found him to be an intelligent, aggressive, and persuasive advocate for his corporate clients. Since switching over to plaintiff's work, these traits come through even stronger with Hank. Whenever I consider joint venturing a plaintiffs' case with or referring a plaintiffs' case to another lawyer, Hank Stout is at the top of my list. I heartily endorse him."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Stout is an excellent lawyer. I referred a defective tire case to him and he did a first class job working up the case and getting an excellent recovery for the client. Several other lawyers before Mr. Stout turned the case down, thinking it had little value. Because Mr. Stout was willing to do the work, it soon became apparent that the case had significant value. Mr. Stout's hard work and knowledge of the law made this result possible."
