I injured my knee in a car accident when another driver ran a red light. I'm so glad I hired the best and most caring lawyers to help me with my case. Hank, Leigh, and Natisha made sure I was well taken care of by fighting the insurance company to maximize my recovery. I couldn't have picked a better law firm!

I am forever grateful for Mr. Stout! He jumped in and fixed a situation where two minor children lost their father in a car accident, and a rotten attorney tried to take advantage of the two children by taking their money. Mr. Stout made things right for the two little girls, and did not charge attorney fees! He put forth many hours of investigation and efforts to straighten out a crooked matter, and I promise you he will make every attempt to make things right for you. We are forever grateful!

It was an amazing and simple experience dealing with this law firm. I rode for free on Cinco de Mayo through them. I definitely recommend them! If they can pay to keep you safe during the holidays, can you imagine how much they'll help you out if you're unfortunate to have something happen? Definitely a 10++

I was hit by a distracted driver heading into downtown. After getting released from the Hospital, I was inundated with bills and phone calls. I was confused by all the billing and liability concerns. At first I tried to deal with the insurance company on my own, but after being told that the insurance company was only accepting 70% of the fault for the collision (the other driver ran a red light) I decided I needed to hire a lawyer.

After doing my research and talking with friends, I decided to hire Sutliff & Stout. The reviews for the firm are not exaggerations. If there were six stars on this thing, I would give them all six. During the 10-month-long process, Hank Stout helped me find quality doctors to help treat my back and leg pain and he helped me navigate the process. The entire time he kept me informed about what was going on and what to expect.

Long story short, the firm was able to stop all of the phone calls and they handled everything with the insurance company. In the end, I settled for an amount much larger than I ever expected and I could not be happier with the result.

So, I start my story with needing legal help with a private situation. Sutliff & Stout, PLLC came highly recommended and they were easy to work with when I was booking my initial meeting. The day of our meeting comes, and I am hopelessly lost wandering the building. It had been a stressful week and I forgot to write down the suite number. It was a rough day. I call the lady at the front desk, and she comes down a few floors to find me.

I had zero chance of finding them without her. Then, after a long elevator ride back up she helped me get all my papers in order. Finally, I get to meet with the wonderful gentlemen that run the show. They made sense of my situation, and ended up referring me out to another firm (who was also wonderful) because of what type of situation I was in. When all was said and done, this law firm helped me figure out how to get my head back in the game and moving the right direction. It is RARE to find a business that will go the extra mile like that anymore.
