Smart, intelligient, quick to act and resolve case! Highly recommend!

I hired Ms. Clifton for a misdemeanor case up in Citrus County. While waiting, I noticed other people frustrated with their lawyers as they just kept asking for continuances. Ms. Clifton acted quickly to confront the state regarding the evidence and case and we resolved the case at the first hearing!... Not only that, because it's my first offense, Ms. Clifton is going to expunge and seal my record as well! Rarely find a caring attorney that really has her clients best interest at heart. Will definitely call Ms. Clifton for all my legal needs in the future. :) Thank you Ms. Clifton!

Very Professional!

I previously retained Ms. Clifton to cover on a very important matter, on short notice, and she nailed it. Ms. Clifton works very hard and I would definitely consider her for future endeavors.

Lysa clifton

I am thouroughly pleased with the legal services Lysa clifton has provided for me and my case. Back in February of 2015 I was arrested for DUI. Navigating through the court systems policies is overwhelming and confusing. Not to mention Its a terrifying experience for anyone. When I called her office ...per referral my anxiety was instantly put at ease. I later sat down with Lysa and she went through my case with me step by step and explained each and every defense we had against the charges. She was so knowledgeable and assuring. She truly cared about my case and put her heart and soul into insuring I had the best defense possible. Lysa was hard working and always made sure her office was in contact with me regularly providing updates on my case. Later the DUI charge was dropped to wreck less driving and I am required to pay a minimal fine and do a few community service hours. I learned a lot of life lessons through my experience with the law but Lysa navigated me through the whole thing and I truly felt like she cared about the outcome. if your looking for an attorney that will go the extra mile for you I strongly recommend Lysa.
