NW Ohio Criminal Defense Attorney

Clay came highly recommended and I am glad I hired him. He is thorough, dedicated, skilled, and worked hard to get my case dismissed. He is easy to get in touch with and I appreciated all of his attention to detail in order to get my case dismissed. Would recommend him to anyone in need of a Crimin...al Defense attorney in the Defiance, OH area.

Mr. Crates was very professional and got my case settled out of court in my favor. He was available for questions and concerns throughout the process and put me at ease with handling my case. Mr. Crates is very hard working and was able to get my case settled much faster than I expected. Would highly... recommend to anyone needing a Criminal Defense attorney!

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.
