Detailed/Knowledgeable Lawyer

Clayton was excellent to work with! He walked my husband and I through a very difficult process...writing our wills. I didn't realize how many details we would have to ponder. Luckily, Clayton was prompt with answering our calls and emails. He also took the time to explain various "hypothetical" ...situations to us so that we could have the appropriate wording in our wills. He was quick to revise each draft which allowed us to complete the process in a timely fashion. I also appreciate that he was understanding of my husband's travel schedule, and even arranged night and weekend hours to meet with us. I feel confident that we chose the right lawyer and will definitely utilize his services down the road.

Thorough, prompt service

Clay researched an issue on property we own pertaining to adverse possession. Based on his findings he provided a course of action. His work was thorough and prompt placing us on firm footing as we move forward

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
