Hands down the BEST

Being on edge and anxiety ridden.. Not only did Mr. Akers listen to EVERYTHING I had to share, unlike other lawyers who did not, he is very thorough and caring with his work. He gave me reassurance and confidence in my cases, and gave my children and myself safety from harm. Mr. Akers and his team ar...e very responsive and will answer any questions you may have! To receiving my protective order, to my custody case, after years I finally feel at peace knowing my babies and I are safe. When in doubt, Akers & Cleators Law Group for the win!

Do Not Recommend At All!!!

This attorney had my case for 7 months and I was recently told to come to his office in order to file my case with the courts. When I arrive to his office he tells me that I do not have a case. It took this very unprofessional attorney 7 months that I do not have a case or that he does not feel comfo...rtable moving forward. For 7 entire months he was very confident in my case. A total waste of time, horrible communication and I highly do not recommend this attorney to no one at all. Stay away and do yourself a favor.

Empathetic and upfront

I absolutely was devastated when my daughter was allegedly accused of a crime that could have destroyed her future. This lawyer was a true professional. He was honest, upfront and very knowledgeable. The best part was that he COMMUNICATED!!!! Not very many court appointed lawyers actually fight for y...ou nevertheless communicate with you as much as possible. He made me change my outlook on court appointed attorneys and hopefully i never will need another but if i do I will definitely be calling him.

Effective and Honest! The absolute best lawyer !

We have all heard the stories about attorneys and I do believe that most if them are not to be blindly trusted and that they are way overpriced for the service they provide.HOWEVER, PEYTON AKERS has retired my faith that there are some great men who choose legal careers. From the moment I met him, h...e was up front with me about the complexities of the matters I wanted him to handle and in the same breath, he told me he could handle everything and achieve the best possible results. He far exceeded my expectations. His services were affordable and most importantly, he made me confident that I was in great hands. I cannot imagine using anyone else for the legals needs of my family and my business. This man is the best attorney in town .
