Can not thank you enough..

I can not say enough great things about Mrs Clay. She is very attentive to your case and very knowledgeable of the law. When ever i email or call with a question Mrs Clay gets back to us with 24hrs. It is all so very nice when you call her office and her staff is very polite. The little things mean ...a lot, especially when you are going through anything with the court system. I think Mrs Clay will do her very best for your case. I know she has done it for us. We can not thank her enough.

If you need an attorney, Jessica Clay is who you need!

I've needed Jessica's help twice; once for a criminal matter and the other for bankruptcy. Both times Jessica took great care of me during two of the scariest moments of my life. On the criminal matter, by following her advice and also because of reputation/relationship with the Commonwealth DA, my m...atter was dismissed to a minor infraction. And when I had to file for bankruptcy, she was there answering all my questions and making the process as easy and painless as possible. If you need an attorney, Jessica Clay is who you need!

Fast, professional turnaround.

Jessica recently quickly completed several legal documents pertaining to wills and estates. We were under fierce time constraints and Jessica was able to meet them, in a professional manner and was very responsive and communicative. She's the type of lawyer who picks up the phone and quickly deals w...ith the request. her rates are reasonable. We will use her services again, we are certain.

Jessica Clay

Jessica clay represented me in a legal matter. She didn’t explain my options and I felt she was aloof regarding my well being. She avoided phone calls and pressured me into last minute choices. I felt cornered and without options. Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

As case neared, she ensured I had all last minute questions answered and knew what to expect. I would highly recommend attorney, ...Jessica Clay to anyone needing an attorney who will do the utmost to represent you in the highest regard.
