Personable, Attentive, and Competent

When a family member was involved in an accident, Mr. Ellis was always on point with the insurance companies. He took extra time, even outside normal business hours, to explain every step of the process to put us at ease. He obviously understands how insurance companies work and how their lawyers, an...d other parties' lawyers, can sometimes be less than honest! Mr. Ellis always responded to my calls and emails. I have found him to be open, honest, competent, and tough! I would highly recommend him!

Car accident

Clay was the right lawyer at the right time. I was rear ended and had to have two disc replacements. His manner was aggressive when that was needed but also one of the most compassionate people I’ve ever met. He truly cares about his clients. His staff always made sure that my calls were returned... promptly. They were also extremely knowledgeable throughout the whole process. I know he has handled some huge cases but I felt like my case was always a priority with him. My settlement check was substantial which was such a blessing. You won’t go wrong if you hire Clay!

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.
