What Our Clients Say About Us
“I was in an accident, and the other driver was at fault.”
The insurance company made me an offer that just didn’t sound right and proceeded to tell me I should take it because a lawyer couldn’t get me more. It was then I decided to call a lawyer anyway and take my chances. You always get a pile of advertisements, but I chose Howard Stallings Law Firm because there was a personal handwritten note attached to their brochure and that made it personal to me. I ended up getting 3 times what the original offer was. The law firm kept me informed with calls and emails and someone was available to answer questions through the whole process. They were great. I would definitely use them again if necessary, and I highly recommend them!
