What Sets Strickland & Kendall Apart from Other Law Firms?
Choosing the right attorney after a car accident is about more than just legal experience—it’s about finding a firm that is dedicated to winning your case and prioritizing your recovery. Strickland & Kendall stands apart from other law firms in Montgomery for several key reasons.
Proven Results in Car Accident Cases
Many law firms claim to fight for their clients, but our results speak for themselves. With over $1 billion recovered for accident victims and some of Alabama’s largest personal injury verdicts, we have a track record of success.
Unlike some firms that settle cases quickly for lower amounts, we prepare every case as if it is going to trial. This forces insurance companies to take us seriously, resulting in higher settlements and stronger outcomes for our clients.
Client-Focused Representation
At some firms, clients never meet their lawyer or are passed around between paralegals and junior attorneys. At Strickland & Kendall, our attorneys take a hands-on approach, personally overseeing every case.
Our commitment to personal attention means:
- Direct communication with your attorney, not just staff members
- Regular case updates so you’re never left in the dark
- A legal team that truly listens to your concerns and fights for the best outcome
Aggressive Trial Advocacy
Many attorneys prefer to settle cases rather than go to court, but Michael Strickland and Ed Kendall are seasoned trial lawyers. With over 100 cases tried to verdict, they have stood up to major insurance companies and corporations in court and won.
24/7 Availability & Free Consultations
Accidents don’t happen on a schedule, which is why we offer free consultations 24/7. If you’re unable to come to our office, we will travel to meet you at your home, hospital, or another convenient location.

Why Personal Attention Matters When Hiring a Lawyer
Many law firms handle cases in high volume, meaning clients become just another number. This can lead to:
- Delayed responses from attorneys
- Lowball settlements to move cases quickly
- Lack of personal investment in the client’s best interests
At Strickland & Kendall, we believe that personal attention leads to better case outcomes. When clients work directly with their attorney, they feel more informed, more confident, and more in control of their case.
Personalized representation means:
- Understanding your specific injuries and how they impact your life
- Tailoring our legal approach to maximize your financial recovery
- Fighting for compensation that fully covers medical bills, lost wages, and future costs
By choosing a law firm that prioritizes quality over quantity, you ensure your case gets the attention it deserves.
