also known as Hank Stout
I co-founded Sutliff & Stout, PLLC, a Houston Injury & Accident Law Firm, because I wanted to help real people with real problems. Raised in a small West Texas town, I was taught the value of hard work, determination, fairness and helping others. My early interest in the law was inspired by my greatest role model, my father. As the son of an attorney and former State Court District Judge, I learned as a child that through the legal system you can help folks stand up for themselves and hold irresponsible people and companies accountable for their actions.
After graduating high school, I attended the University of Mississippi where I earned a degree in just three and a half years. I then enrolled in law school at South Texas College of Law in Houston, Texas and earned a doctor of jurisprudence in just two and a half years.
Upon completing law school, I worked as a trial attorney for several large law firms, including Phelps Dunbar and Chamberlain Hrdlicka. While working at these large law firms, I represented Fortune 500 companies, mid-sized businesses and large insurance companies. Having learned how large corporations and insurance companies operate, I decided to leave the practice at the large firm and focus on personal injury litigation.

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...

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...

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 ...

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...
"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."
"I referred a personal injury matter to Hank and received extremely positive feedback from the client regarding the ultimate resolution of the case. Hank was attentive, efficient, and relentless in his representation of this individual resulting in a great settlement for the client. I would not hesitate to refer another personal injury matter to Hank and his firm."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have had the opportunity to observe Hank in court countless times over the years. His professionalism and clear knowledge of the law have allowed him to to be consistently successful for his clients."
"Hank is an excellent trial attorney who zealously advocates for his clients. He is intelligent, motivated, and a gifted communicator."
"I endorse this lawyer. Hank is very knowledgeable of the law & not afraid of a challenge & hard work. He is persistent & stays on top of his cases. I hope I have the opportunity to work with Hank again in the future."
"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."
"Hank Stout is not only a brilliant strategist, he is also one of the hardest working and most fearless trial lawyers I know. The service he provides to his clients is exemplary. I would not hesitate a second to refer a serious matter to Hank's firm."
