This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Estate planning

Mr. Clements wrote our living wills, poa for healthcare, and our wills. He suggested ways to minimize the expenses of probate. We did some price shopping and found him to be fair priced, as well as pleasant to work with. The process was quick and all of our questions were answered.

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.
