Firm: Sutliff & Stout Injury & Accident Law Firm

I co-founded Sutliff & Stout, PLLC, a Houston Injury & Accident Law Firm, because I wanted to help real people with real problems. Raised in a small West Texas town, I was taught the value of hard work, determination, fairness and helping others. My early interest in the law was inspired by my greatest role model, my father. As the son of an attorney and former State Court District Judge, I learned as a child that through the legal system you can help folks stand up for themselves and hold irresponsible people and companies accountable for their actions.. After graduating high school, I attended the University of Mississippi where I earned a degree in just three and a half years. I then enrolled in law school at South Texas College of Law in Houston, Texas and earned a doctor of jurisprudence in just two and a half years.. Upon completing law school, I worked as a trial attorney for several large law firms, including Phelps Dunbar and Chamberlain Hrdlicka. While working at these large law firms, I represented Fortune 500 companies, mid-sized businesses and large insurance companies. Having learned how large corporations and insurance companies operate, I decided to leave the practice at the large firm and focus on personal injury litigation.
