  • Attorney Tripp Stroud is not only a superb lawyer, but a great, caring individual all the way around. The whole court process was made clear every step of the way so there were no surprises and less fear or anxiety throughout the ordeal. He took the time to make very helpful videos on what to expect and my role as a defendant to represent myself accordingly via dress and demeanor. I pray I never need his wisdom and representation again, however, if I do I won't hesitate to retain him.
