forever greatful

I went for a consultation and after a lot of thought I hired Ms. Clay. I found her to be up front and honest from day one, but most of all she listens. She took what I had to say into consideration making no promises but reassuring me she would do her best. I would highly recommend her. Jessica Cl...ay Thank you

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Jessica was knowledgeable about how to handle my unique situation. She helped me handle the consequences of filing. There were many pros and cons to sort through! She helped me understand what should happen after my bankruptcy. I filed a few years ago,but I recently had issues with my student loans a...nd a new medical creditor and she helped me deal with it. She made me feel like she actually cared and that I could call her any time! I've recommended her to many people since my bankruptcy!

AWESOME LAWYER!

Got her for a court appointed so I was really scared she wasn't good. Man was I wrong, she went above and beyond what she had to for what little pay she got for my case. Amazing lawyer! would highly recommend her!!!

Honest Attorney

Jessica handled our Bankruptcy/Chapter 7 and also our Wills. She was very caring and thorough and we felt very comfortable with her advice. We have recommended her to our friends and family.

The best lawyer we have ever had!

We were in a difficult situation that was very uncomfortable. Jessica's calm and down-to-earth manner made us feel better right from the start. She always delivered what she promised in a timely fashion, and she was always on time for meetings. She told us exactly what was needed, what we had ...to do, and what to expect. The outcome of our case was actually better than we expected, and we attribute it to Jessica's knowledge of the law and her exceptionally good "people skills."

  • 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.
