What Our Clients Say

They truly care

Mrs Vallery, who answered the phone took more care and attention to detail than any other law office, that I have called, in 2 years+. She diligently took notes to give to the lawyers and cared about my situation and let me actually tell everything without cutting me short. Out of over 100 law offices, this is rare treatment. Care. Consideration. That means more than anything going through this…

Professional Representation, Satisfying Legal Outcome!

My wife and I retained Bakari Sellers to represent our son in a case in Richland County. We found Mr. Sellers, his assistant Stephanie, and the rest of the staff at Strom, extremely courteous and professional. We really appreciated Mr. Sellers’ straightforward and honest approach. We believe this is a very competent law firm, and are satisfied with the legal outcome they achieved. We would highly recommend them!

From Self-Representation to Victory in SSDI Case!

My experience with Mario and his staff was outstanding. When everyone said to give up my case with SSDI and after being poorly represented and losing. I had to file my own appeals and represent myself. I literally called every attorney in the book. Then I called Mario cold – I expected one more no! Well, this gentleman took my case and won. He knows the law and cares a lot. I am proud to call him my friend. If you need a professional to help you, call these guys.

A Lifesaver in the Courtroom, Ensuring Freedom with A1 Professionalism

Needed a lifesaver. I had gotten myself into a bad situation and the possibility of going to prison. Through the diligence and hard work done by attorney Alley B., I was able to walk out of that courtroom a free man. No tricks just hard down attorney work. She was an A1 professional and knew every inch of the Law pertaining to my case. For that, I am forever grateful.

Excellence in Action for Workman's Comp Case!

Strom Law Firm was really great and professional. I had a great experience with Mario as my attorney and his paralegal, Brian. These two are amazing, they worked very hard on my husband’s workman’s comp case and we were very pleased with the services and results 👍. Brian was so prompt at returning phone calls and getting things ready for the case. I strongly recommend this firm for any of your legal matters.

Columbia Personal injury and criminal defense lawyers

Fighting for You or Your Loved One

A serious accident or injury – or serious criminal charges – can have a devastating impact on your life or the life of a loved one. Whether we’re focused on personal injury or criminal defense, our attorneys have a reputation for taking on even the most complex cases – and winning. How can we help you?

Co-located with Strom Law, Barrister Hall is Columbia’s first and only coworking legal community.

Understanding Personal Injury Law

Personal injury law encompasses a wide range of cases where individuals have suffered harm due to the negligence or wrongful conduct of others. This area of law aims to provide victims with compensation for their injuries, which can include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Common personal injury claims include automotive accidents, slip and fall incidents, and medical malpractice. Each case requires a thorough investigation and often involves negotiating with insurance companies to ensure that victims receive the compensation they deserve. At Strom Law Firm, we are dedicated to guiding clients through this complex legal landscape.

Criminal Defense Strategies

Effective criminal defense strategies are crucial for protecting the rights of individuals accused of crimes. These strategies may include challenging the evidence presented by the prosecution, negotiating plea deals, or pursuing alternative sentencing options. The goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for the client.

Our team at Strom Law Firm employs a variety of defense tactics tailored to each unique case. From providing a robust defense against DUI charges to handling serious felonies, we ensure that our clients are well-represented in court and that their voices are heard.

Client-Centered Legal Approach

At Strom Law Firm, we prioritize a client-centered approach, ensuring that every individual receives personalized attention throughout their legal journey. This means actively listening to our clients' concerns, providing regular updates, and involving them in decision-making processes related to their cases.

Our commitment to client satisfaction is reflected in the positive testimonials we receive. We believe that a strong attorney-client relationship fosters trust and leads to better outcomes, whether in personal injury claims or criminal defense cases.

Community Involvement and Advocacy

Community involvement is a cornerstone of Strom Law Firm's mission. We actively engage in local initiatives and advocacy efforts aimed at improving the legal landscape and supporting those in need. Our attorneys frequently participate in workshops, seminars, and volunteer opportunities to educate the public about their rights and legal options.

By investing in our community, we not only enhance our connection with clients but also contribute to a safer, more informed society. Our firm believes that legal advocacy goes beyond the courtroom, and we strive to make a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.
