Clint Clary Jr.'s Reviews

Great attorney

Got charged with reckless driving on an 88/70. Got a deal for the charges to be dismissed as long as I took a driving course. Clary is confirmed GOATed.

Relieved

Mr. Clary and Tyler answered our questions, returned our calls and emails in a timely manner. The fee was very reasonable, he showed up at court and got our case dismissed. He was very patient with our case and nervous anxiety.

Got my Case Dismissed

It's really hard to choose a lawyer when you're not in that state, but I'm so grateful I decided on him! After I received my court summons, I reached out to several law firms in the area to understand what my options/possible outcomes were. Afterwards, I asked 10 family members who are lawyers to he...lp me decide which one I should hire. I spoke to each family member separately and each one told me to go with Mr. Clary. I am so happy I listened to them and that I hired him! My case was dismissed thanks to Mr. Clary. It was a significantly better outcome than anything I thought possible! On top of that, all the other lawyers I spoke to had fees that were more than double that of Mr.Clary's. I am so incredibly grateful, I cannot recommend Mr. Clary enough!

Great experience

Got a reckless driving ticket in Jan 2020. Being an out of state driver, did lot of research and finally hired Mr Clary. He represented my case and got the charges reduced to non moving violation. He is very responsive and affordable (low fees as compared to others). Most importantly he told me a...bout possible outcomes upfront, answered all my questions and handled my case remotely. He got me the best outcome and I’m really happy about it.

New Jersey Driver

Mr. Clary obtained a very reduced traffic summons with a reasonable fee without me having to appear in court. His office assistants were polite and helpful.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
