Best Lawyer I've Ever Hired

Clinton was very helpful and informative throughout the whole legal process. He made sure I understood all my options going forward in trial and kept me up to date on what needed to be done on my end as well as filing necessary motions and answering any questions I had about my case. He is a very bus...y man but always makes appropriate time for his clients needs.

Mr. Teston immediately jumped on the case upon retainer being paid. He communicated with me often and throughout each step that we went through. He worked hard to achieve the desired outcome. I would highly recommend him as an attorney.

Thank you

Thank you to Mr. Teston and Weaver Law Firm. When I was in need of help, I contacted several options in the local area. Impressed with the confident response at Weaver Law Firm, I am pleased to have chosen Mr. Teston to handle my case. My initial consultation gave answers to my fears and concerns... ...And a peace of mind during uncertainty. Mr. Teston explained thoroughly what I should expect and explained the process in an understandable manner. My case was resolved in the manner which he had initially explained. No, it was not as dramatic as TV, it was much less painful than that. Thank again to Mr Teston for helping me get back to a normal life.

Professionalism at its best

I do not think you will find a better attorney than Clint Teston. He handled my case with the professionalism that I expected with a very favorable outcome. I appreciate his directness and bedside manner, which made this unfortunate process easier to handle. Thanks to you Clint.

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.
