A Powerhouse

40 yes ago I was referred to Clay Barns by my brother. Clay represented him in his divorce, and over the years, in several law suits. Clay represented me in several personal injury lawsuits and in each case I was awarded more compensation than I expected. Clay is impressive in and out of the courtro...om. His focus on detail, and knowledge of law makes him my go to council in all legal matters. Clay sometimes refers to himself as "just an old fashion country lawyer". I say "He's an old fashioned country lawyer who WINS.

DOG ATTACK!!!

First and foremost, my wife and I owe Mr. Barnes our deepest sincere appreciation for the OUTSTANDING manner in which he handled our case!!! He is an attorney with the utmost integrity to which we are both eternally grateful to have had represent us through a horrific dog attack over five years ago.... The injuries that I had sustained were truly life altering and Mr. Barnes is truly an attorney that stands behind his clients and ALWAYS works on behalf of your best interests no matter what! Words cannot effectively describe the genuine character of this man and the efforts put forth to honorably represent his clients. Our case encountered numerous obstacles over the five year period such as the closing of the courts due to the pandemic. The sincere fortitude that Mr. Barnes displayed throughout never waivered to ensure that a fair and reasonable settlement was achieved. His knowledge and expertise are to be highly commended to say the least. My wife and I greatly value the manner in which Mr. Barnes represented our case and most certainly is also considered a dear friend with whom we owe our deepest thanks to. If anyone reading this finds themselves in need of an attorney, please look no further than Mr. Barnes and his team of dedicated professionals!!!!

Car Crash

I was in a low impact rear collision (30mph) in the Fort McHenry tunnel 3 yrs ago. I consulted A lawyer in Belair Md 1st but they rejected my case. I then contacted Clay Barnes which was recommended to me through my wife's nursing co-worker. I had pain in my neck shooting down the left side of my bod...y. I spent almost 2 years seeing various doctors to figure out my injuries. Meanwhile the insurance company was giving us lowball settlement amounts. Clay was caring, patient and advised me through out the entire process. Clay is truly looked out for my best interest and I'm so blessed to have had him. In the end I was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome (rib pinching nervous and blood vessels). I had a rib removed and my pain was gone instantly. The insurance company we were suing continued to make offers that didn't even touch my medical bills. Through time I was amazed to see how Clay used the evidence from the accident and my medical treatment to help me get a fantastic settlement! Clay is for the people, not just his wallet!

Beat at his job i have ever seen a true professional and a life saver HE MAKES IT HAPPEN!!!!!!thank you so much sir

I was involved in a car accident where i was hurt and being screwed over by a certain insurance company one of the big boys in the insurance game and Mr. barnes took them on head on and and fiercely took them down he is truly a professional and a hard fighter to put it bluntly the insurance company o...ffered me 1,800 $ after the accident far below the cost to cover everything and when all was said and done a year later we had won the case 100,000$ !!! This man helped me and my family beyond the expectations and really did get true justice from me and my family thank you Mr. barnes.

Kudos to Clay Barnes …… from Chestertown.

Mr. Barnes was a caring and conscientious lawyer who helped us through trying times. Even though he is two hours away from us, we felt he was well worth the travel. After dealing with other attorneys, working with Mr. Barnes was a real pleasure. His caring attitude and attention to our case meant ...a great deal to us. And he was very successful in getting us many times more than we expected. Thank you very much, Mr. Barnes.
