We represent victims of negligence in personal injury cases involving premises liability, forklift accidents, and catastrophic injuries. Our attorneys prove liability for broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and wrongful death claims. We coordinate medical care while pursuing compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering through settlements or litigation.

Our motor vehicle accident lawyers handle car, truck, motorcycle, and bicycle collision cases. We identify all liable parties, including distracted drivers and commercial carriers. With experience in rideshare and hit-and-run cases, we recover damages for vehicle repairs, medical treatment, and lost wages while challenging insurance company tactics to undervalue claims.

We protect elderly residents from nursing home abuse and neglect through dedicated legal representation. Our attorneys prove facility liability for physical abuse, medical neglect, and unsafe living conditions.

To anyone struggling with a big conglomerate companies looking to take advantage of you just for asking for your basic rights as an employee or employee who was injured at the fault of your company, please heed my advice when I tell you Lindsey Strom and associates are the most caring and knowledgeable firm when it comes to wrongful injury settlements. Lindsey is and angel and I can never repay you for the financial relief she has given me from this horrible experience with Walgreens and the doctors.
She treated me as though I was one of her family members and went to bat for me no matter what it was going to take to get me the necessary help for the constant pain I went through and the constant run around my employer and their Independent Medical Examiners tried to put me through. She and her team follow up with you through every step of the way to ensure you never feel lost or despair so long as you follow her advice as she is the most knowledgeable when it comes to these companies trying to pick on little guys that dont have a voice. You will not go wrong with Lindsey Strom and Associates!

From my first initial visit all the way to the end of my case, I was treated with respect. Every time I visited the offices it was a pleasant experience in sometimes stressful times. Kevin Yen was handling my case and he always kept me up to date and made me feel comfortable. I am very happy with all the hard work the firm and Kevin in particular put in my case. I would use the firm again and recommend them to anyone.

My husband was seriously injured at work; the most important decision I made was to hire Strom & Associates. I interviewed three different firms and by far Strom & Associates were the clear choice. Neal Strom was kind enough to come to the hospital because my husband was still recovering from surgery; and let me say that the other two firms I interviewed DID NOT offer to do this. Neal explained our options and made my husband feel that everything was going to be okay.
You can't put a price on compassion from one human being to another and I knew that going forward no matter what happened we were going to be okay. Neal and the team at Strom & Associates will fight for your loved one.

I had the unfortunate experience of being injured at work. The process was completely an unfamiliar situation for me. Most people are untrusting of attorneys. Often not being sure if the attorney will represent them in a fair and confident manner. I was one of those people. But from the moment that I spoke with Lindsey and Marlyn, I knew I was in good hands. I was reassured by Marlyn that Lindsey would do everything that she could to win my case and Lindsey did not disappoint me. Lindsey had to fight my case in arbitration and I was more than impressed with how she approached the case for the win.
I could tell that her experience and expertise in worker's compensation cases is top notch. I was pleased to find out that Strom and Associates handles various legal matters and without question would hire them should the need arise in the future. Thank you Lindsey and Marlyn for your professionalism and care. I am definitely a member of the Strom family!
