Criminal Defense Attorneys
A pending criminal investigation or arrest on criminal charges creates a personal, family, social, business, employment, and financial crisis, which most individuals have never experienced, anticipated, or even know how to handle. Our criminal defense lawyers understand this.
When the personal freedom, personal and family stability, economic survival, and reputation of you or a loved one are at stake, you need a criminal defense lawyer who understands your needs, knows how the system works, and can protect what is at stake.
Whether you have been charged with a white collar crime, violent crime, sex crime, drug crime, or other type of crime, as your criminal defense attorneys, Strom Law Firm will provide an aggressive and proactive defense to every accused person by maintaining the highest standards of professional competence combined with an understanding and concern for the rights and liberty of all individuals facing a criminal investigation and/or arrest.
Personal Injury Attorneys
A personal injury arises when one person is hurt, disabled, or even killed as a result of the conduct or negligence of another. An injury can be physical, emotional, or a combination of the two.
At the Strom Law Firm, our personal injury lawyers understand that your case, your story, is about more than just an accident or physical injury. It is also about what happened after the accident or injury. It's about how that accident and those injuries have affected you and your life, and about how they may keep on affecting you in the foreseeable future. It's about before and after. Although many of the people we represent in personal injury cases are from South Carolina, our personal injury lawyers routinely take clients from throughout the Southeastern U.S. and, in certain types of products liability cases, from across the country as well.
As your personal injury attorneys, you can depend not just on our legal expertise, our resources, and our proven ability to secure positive results in personal injury cases. You can depend upon our commitment to telling your story and to securing fair compensation for all the ways you have been affected and will continue to be affected in the future.

Class Action/Consumer Protection Attorneys
Consumer protection actions, or class actions, can stem from an almost unlimited variety of misconduct or defective products.
Consumer protection lawsuits, or class action lawsuits, are brought on behalf of consumers against lenders, corporations, and insurance companies for violating a business practice, breaching a warranty, or committing fraud against large numbers of consumers. Large scale consumer protection cases and class action lawsuits are typically complex and likely to involve mountains of documentation, dozens of investigators, experts and consultants, volumes of state and federal legislation, and challenging or novel legal issues.
The class action lawyers at the Strom Law Firm enjoy a distinct national and statewide reputation for excellence in the area of consumer protection litigation and class action lawsuits.
Toxic Tort Attorneys
A toxic tort involves the exposure of individuals, often in large numbers, to harmful chemical or biological substances. When this exposure results in serious injuries or health problems and you can show that the serious injuries or health problems were caused by the negligence or carelessness of others, the law says that those who are injured are entitled to be compensated for their damages. Toxic tort cases can be challenging. There are often multiple parties at fault and any legal claim must consider all avenues of potential liability making it extremely important to select a toxic tort law firm with experience necessary to successfully pursue a claim.
