My lawyer

I have used Clayton Worthington first regarding child custody/separation and later on in a Crimal Defense matter. Not only do I keep him first in mind if in need of an attorney but I speak highly of him to anyone that's might be in need of the service he offeres. Most of what I appreciated about Clay...ton, was his level of pofessionalism as well as his strong people and communication skills. I truly believed I was not just a "check" to him. He cared for my needs, my situation and the best outcome for me and my children. He listened, researched well and did all he could possibly to keep me safe. He wasn't judgmental, he was kind, and he is doing exactly what I believe he was called to do . I appreciated greatly how smart he is and that he could seek many avenues outside the box on how he might help me best. He knows the law and he will fight for you ! And to me, that's who you want to put your life and situations in the hands of.

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.
