“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 contributory 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!”
