Strom Law Firm LLC GOES ABOVE & BEYOND to serve their clients. My husband had something on his criminal record that was never supposed to be there. This was about 20 years ago and it always bothered him. We've tried over the years to get ANY SC attorney to call us back and let us know what steps to take or to help us get it expunged. We never received a single call back. And these calls were to prominent law firms recommended to us. We were baffled by this, but every year we would try again. I am glad we waited. The person who took our call, McKenzie Redmond could not be any sweeter. She walked us through what items we needed for when the attorney was going to call back in the next hour. (Seriously?? We couldn't pay someone to call us back. Is she really going to?) Sure enough, attorney Stephanie Jones called earlier than expected and had a brief conversation with my husband and I about our options. We felt so comfortable from the very first call. We retained them right there. Next to contact us was Kristi Kole, paralegal. We submitted everything to her and paid the retainer immediately. The transaction itself was hassle free, drama free, quick, sensitive to our needs, Kristi's follow up emails with updates (unprompted) kept us abreast along the way. In the end the expungement was completed and to celebrate Stephanie phoned us. I promised to write this review because if you don't call Strom Law Firm for assistance, you have chosen the wrong firm. Here you will receive kind and generous attention. We could not recommend them more highly. They are a 15 on a scale of 1 to 10. Thank you
