He will always have a special place in our hearts. I would recommend him for any case as he is a lawyer who truly fights for his clients 100% every time.

Katrina Hawkins
Attorney Quinton Seay and his paralegal, Lori Wyche, did an excellent job handling my mother’s medical malpractice lawsuit and won a very good settlement. No amount of money can replace what my mother went through. However, Attorney Seay got me some closer by making the liable party accountable. Malpractice cases are long and tedious, but Attorney Seay was persistent and kept fighting. Lori Wyche was the best. She always made sure I stayed informed, explained everything in detail, was compassionate and professional the entire time. I would definitely recommend Seay/Felton Trial Lawyers. They have the experience, knowledge and they get results.
