Respectful, Competent, Trustworthy

Best Defense Attorney in Greensboro handsdown. Although my case was a couple years ago now, Mr. Clifford made me feel comfortable and informed throughout he entire process. He also gave me plenty of face to face time and eventually got the case dismissed like he assured he would. So lucky to have co...ntacted him.

Stellar Representation

Having never been drawn into a legal situation before, I was apprehensive and completelly at sea as to how to proceed. Andrew provided me with comfort and guidance in his handling of my DWI charge. He and his friendly staff kept me continually apprised of the status of my case and promptly answered ...the many questions I had along the way. I am extremely pleased with the way in which Andrew brought my case to a satisfying resolution. Should I ever need legal representation again, I’m calling Andrew.

16 year old felony charge

Attorney Clifford and his staff are some of the most professional individuals that I've worked with. I am in the process of leaving for the military but an old felony charge popped up on my criminal record from when I was 16 that I was unaware of. I thought the case was dismissed but it was dismissed... with leave. I contacted different attorneys and all of them right off the bat gave prices and said that they cant promise anything because it will take a lot of leg work. Did I say that everyone I called was ridiculously expensive. Buy anyway. I contacted Attorney Clifford law office and Stephanie was the most and best help I've had. The first thing they requested was what was the charge and Stephanie and Attorney Clifford followed up on it first to see if it was something he could possibly assist with. He jumped on the case like he said he would and Stephanie returned all calls as she promised. Again, not one time have they discussed MONEY! Once they were able to get information he called back and told me that it was possible to get the case dismissed then that's when Stephanie asked the question "Would you like for Attorney Clifford to work with you? If that is what you would like to do it would be a $$$ charge? For me, the fact that Attorney Clifford did the quick leg work first before throwing money in my face and would willing to help made a difference with me. Keep doing what you are doing great!
