“In November 2016, a friend of mine gave me Michael’s number after my son was arrested for multiple felonies. I knew nothing about bail, criminal court, or what I could expect next. From day one, Michael was there to guide my son and I through the 18-month lawsuit that followed. Mr. Strickland made me as comfortable as I could be during the most difficult time of my life. His legal assistant, Debbie, also provided me with pep talks, mother to mother, as well as answered many of our questions. He kept us briefed and was always there to answer our concerns. Michael’s legal skills during the hearings made me glad he was on our side. At the final court date, we heard the phrase we have been waiting for: CHARGES DISMISSED. Mr. Strickland gave me my son back. In actuality, he gave me back to my son. We are finally whole again.”

“The night I received the message that one of my sisters, and an uncle who we looked upon as a family patriarch and loved like a brother, had been in serious accident with possibly life threatening injury, was one of the times in my life that my little world seemed to stop. The first week was filled with much stress as I was trying to handle insurance claims for my uncle, and my sister’s son was trying to handle her claims. I thought we could do it ourselves but it became very evident this was way over both of our heads. My husband had met Michael many years previously while working in sales, and always spoke highly of Michael as an attorney with good ethics and integrity. I agreed it was time to call Michael to find out how he could help.”

“Michael agreed to handle the accident for my uncle and my sister, and immediately paid attention to informing us of the correct things to do. My sister is still recovering, and praises Michael. My uncle passed away four months after the accident. What seemed to be an accident immediately became a ”wrongful death.” Michael proceeded to move me forward in the process, handling both cases with compassion, knowledge and integrity. His staff was always right there for me as well. I know I benefited not just by being awarded a suitable settlement, but I now know it takes someone with his skills to do what’s needed. I would highly recommend calling upon him if you find yourself in a similar situation. I hope I never have to again, because we lost a precious family member, but I know where to go if I find myself in that situation again.”

Bio

Protecting the Law Since 1994

After graduating one semester early from Thomas Goode Jones School of Law in 1993, Michael served as a law clerk in the 15th Judicial Circuit in Alabama. He has represented persons and families from almost every state in legal claims as a Strickland Law Group partner since 1994. With a long and distinguished career, Michael has achieved positive jury verdicts and substantial financial settlements for hundreds of millions of dollars in multiple types of claims–serious personal injury, product liability, prescription drugs, and insurance–most of which are confidential due to the nature and size of the awards. Michael has also protected the rights of the families of those whose wrongful death was caused by fatal accidents, negligent medical care, and defective products. Nearly all of his law practice has been devoted to these cases, and he has personally tried more than one hundred cases.

Mr. Strickland also serves on the board of directors of several environmental nonprofits. His outdoor activities include whitewater kayaking, hang gliding, snow skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and backpacking. Married to Emily Williams Strickland since 1993, he has two adult children.
