Excellent attorney
I have worked with Clint Wilson for over 10 years and he has always been diligent, helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. Clint is well respected as an attorney and citizen in our community. I highly recommend Clint for any of your legal needs.

Thank you Mr. Clint !
Attorney Clint Wilson was referred to us by another attorney. He came highly recommended as the most qualified for the property issues we were dealing with at the time. To say that our property issues were a headache would be an understatement; it was dire and the litigation was unbelievably complicated. However, Mr. Wilson proved to be a true professional, conducting this project with incredible diligence, competence, and integrity. We were able to resolve this matter after him working relentlessly for over a year. I can honestly say that we don't believe that we would have achieved the same outcome had it been another attorney. It's thanks to Mr. Clint that we have been able to move past this issue, which had been a significant roadblock for quite some time. I highly, highly recommend him.

Top Notch
We spoke to several attorneys and decided to hire Clint because of his professionalism and calm demeanor. He has knowledge of the inner workings of the local legal scene and has first-hand experience with judges and prosecutors. Because of this valuable knowledge, Clint came up with a strategy that resulted in the best possible outcome of our case. We highly recommend Clint for your legal needs.

Great Person/Better Lawyer!!!
Clint Wilson is just AUSOME! Even though he never told me this, I know from a friend that he is good friends with a lot of the judges in town. He knows everybody and that's why I hired him initially. He's down to earth and a good guy. I've used Clint for everything from a car wreck case that my mother had to a minor "run-in" that my son had with the law, to handling all of my business stuff. In Auburn or Lee County, I would not hire anyone else. Worth every penny due to his local connections and thoughtfulness....

A caring and brilliant lawyer!
Earlier this year my son got a DUI in Auburn which had some complicating circumstances. Clint was first and foremost incredibly caring. Whenever we were feeling stressed he would offer to fit us in to his schedule to talk things out. He is incredibly knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of the Auburn court system and what is possible . He is attentive and communicated with us throughout the entire process. Although not totally behind us, my son got into a Pre-Trial Diversion program and the charges will be dismissed upon completion. If you have a DUI in Auburn or Opelika you simply will not find a better resource to put it behind you. I have dealt with dozens of lawyers throughout my years as a businessman and Clint is simply the best at what he does.

Great outcome
Last summer I received a DUI and speeding ticket in the Lake Martin area. Clint was attentive and communicated with me throughout the entire process. He reassured me that he could probably have my charges dismissed and that is exactly what happened. Both violations were dismissed and I hope to move into the expungement phase soon.

Hard worker!
My case took far longer than expected with a few humps but Clint worked diligently and had my back the whole Way through. I was referred to him by a family friend. When I met with him he was so confident in my case and never made me feel alone. He even came to a hearing with me that he didn’t have to and I can’t describe how much better I felt with him there. Ultimately he got my case dismissed which was the goal! He’s kind and patient I will definitely work with him again if I ever need legal counsel.

Attorney Clint Wilson is an extraodinarily caring, and brilliant defender!
Despite the fact that my husband and I were in what was likely the most difficult situation ever, from a legal perspective with our daughter, Attorney Wilson negotiated the very best outcome! We are forever grateful for the way he saved our daughter’s career and restored her reputation!

Unbeilvable effort and they got me $
Clint,Wes,and Carter worked as a team on my case. The insurance company offered me $30000 dollars. I didnt think it was fair. After a lot of work, McCollum and Wilson got me $750,000 and an apology from the person that hit my daughter''s car. Don't use a commercial/billboard lawyer, use them!!!

Saved me from Public Intox
I was charged with a public intox charge and was very nervous because this charge could ruin my career. Clint was recommended by a friend and came through. My charge was dismissed within 2 weeks and it's on its way to being expunged.

Great priced and caring
He was very reasonably priced, and actually cares about other people. He was able to keep me out of jail and even helped me get my license back. There is no other lawyer I will ever trust. Highly recommend.

Clint is the BEST!
Last year, I made a huge mistake and got a DUI in Auburn. I was in the process of applying to medical schools and couldn't have been more scared about this situation on my future. Lucky for me, I was referred to Clint Wilson. He handled my problem and kept my record clean. I am so thankful for his help. I've been accepted to medical school because of his help.

I was a college student and Mr. Wilson completely cleared my record.
I normally don't write reviews. When I was arrested, I figured that my future in engineering was over. After meeting with Clinton, he explained the court process and gave me my options. Long story short, Clinton got my case dismissed. Then, we applied for and received an expungment, which took any trace of the arrest off of my record. I can now apply for jobs without having to answer that I was arrested. Thanks to Mr. Wilson, every background check has come back completely clear and am now employed with one of the best firms in Georgia. After meeting Mr. Wilson, I knew I could trust him. He knows everyone in the Court system and is a caring and good person. I felt like I needed to write this review because Clinton did everything he said he would do and was honest and effective. If you are in a similar situation that I was, this attorney that will make sure that employers do not see anything on your record. I think he is a partner at McCollum and Wilson in Auburn and is worth every penny.

Positive Experience
From start to finish Clint was informative, honest, and accurate about how he could be of assistance. He responded to calls in a timely manner and was patient and thorough in addressing my questions and concerns. His peaceful demeanor and subtle confidence no doubt contribute to his success and his ability to provide reassurance. I would not hesitate to call him again no matter the legal need.
