Stacey M. Barrus
Managing Attorney
Introduction:
Stacey Barrus is a personal injury lawyer in San Antonio and throughout South Texas where he fights for the rights of injury victims. What sets Stacey apart from most other injury attorneys is his ability to understand the needs of his clients following the devastating effects of an accident. His passion in fighting for injury victims is due in part to his own personal experiences in dealing with the tragic loss of several family members as a result of accidents caused by the negligence of other people.
“I understand what injury victims and their families are going through – the grief, pain, depression, stress, and mounting medical bills – I’ve been in their shoes to a certain extent. And, while they seek me out to help them receive fair and adequate compensation for their injuries, they also appreciate having someone who can empathize with them. Knowing that I’m out there aggressively and passionately fighting for their rights allows them to focus on getting better, and gives them some peace of mind,” Stacey said.
Stacey likes to keep a more casual and relaxed environment at the Barrus Law Group than a traditional “uptight & stuffy” law firm environment. He feels that it’s nice for clients to be in an atmosphere that is calm, comfortable, and relaxed.
