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 mo...ther 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 t...he 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 mov...e 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.
