Brian Cloninger

Very Organized, responds to emails quick and a lot of patient with me. Very knowledgeable about my case, I couldn't be more pleased with Brian and his services.

Posted by ED Harvat from New Jersey | November 12, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

THE BEST THERE IS

I am 60 yrs old and This is my first review EVER! But this guy deserves it so here goes Don't even think about it ,just hire him!! This is the guy everyone wants!! I"m from New Jersey and I got a speeding ticket in November 2018, 95MPH in a 65MPH zone ( automatic loss of license)coming back from hi...s wedding,they gave me a court date 4 months later,which I missed .I Got a warrant ,contempt of court, Loss my NC DL priviledges ,loss of NJ DL priviledges, $300.00 fine and still had the ticket! With one phone call to jane and such a super reasonable fee within 1 week Brian got everything dropped all suspensions reversed warrants vacated,fines dropped and original ticket reduced to 74 in a 65 and a minimal fine! He saved me MORE money than I pd him.And I never met him and he fought like a tiger, him and Jane treated me like family the whole time! I tried to tip him and the staff but he refused, So this will be my first and last review ever, my words to the world is "5 stars isn't high enough" for Brian cloninger just hire him don't hesitate

Top Shelf

I had an immediate need for a top notch attorney and saw Brian for an initial consult..I found a direct & knowledgeable legal Master. He did *not* immediately hit me for cash and hiring him.. Instead I was directed to handle my situation myself.. however, should my situation call for the hire..it wil...l be this man. I'm 58 yo & been around and Brian is 100% straight up. Go see him...

The Best of the BEST

I contacted Mr. Cloninger after receiving a referral, and after hiring an attorney around 8 months prior with no results to date. When the referral told me he was the best of the BEST, boy was he right!!! He was by far the best attorney I have EVER had the opportunity to work with. He handled my iss...ue efficiently (less than 48 hours, WOW), while keeping me advised of what he was doing at all times. He understood the importance of my issue and was always informative and respectful. I simply cannot say enough about Mr. Cloninger. You will not regret contacting him for your legal needs. He is definitely the best of the BEST!

Simply the Best

Mr Cloninger took my case and made it very simple for me. Since I'm from NJ it would be difficult for me to get down to NC.. He assured me that I didn't need to be there. Not only did I not have to come down but he got my case totally dismissed. Job well done. Nothing I can say would be enough to th...ank him for taking care of this problem for me. I would have to say he ranks in my Best of the Best Attorneys. If you need an Attorney don't hesitate to hire Robert Brian Cloninger.

Avvo Rating

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.
