Did not review my background until 15 minutes beforehand

I was referred to Jay from a so-called friend. I attempted to get my license back for the 3rd time. This time with a “Lawyer”. As many know, I did all the work with the appeal process. He never asked or checked into the last two appeals and the court held those against me. He was not prepared at the ...LEAST!! Him or his office never called me to tell me my date. I had to call and luckily I did because it was the very next week! I would have missed it waiting on them to do their job. After the hearing was over my friend asked him if he checked into my case and got docs on it and he basically blamed me for not having it. What did I hire you for??? About 5 weeks later I called Jay left a message several times because I never received a yes or no from the state. I’m assuming it was a no because it’s now almost two months and he still does not return calls. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Top notch!

Jay is awesome!! He's very knowledgeable and explains every step of the process in clear and understandable language. I had a DUI conviction and had talked with Jay about getting it expunged and the possible challenges of travelling internationally. He was extremely helpful and a wealth of inform...ation. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Jay!

Great Lawyer

Jay Clothier took on my DUI case, along with an Intent to Consent, and handled it professionally and with ease. I was extremely nervous and anxious about the whole thing. I have never been in trouble in any way before. He did an excellent job of explaining everything to me & how each event would go... and continuously eased my mind, He's quick on his feet and knows what to say & who to talk to. My end results were even better than projected. I highly recommend JAY CLOTHIER.

Mot what you would expect.

First let me say that I view attorneys as car salesmen. That said I got into a pretty serious issue early 2019. And I was referred to Jay. Initially when I called Jay I was not confident to say the least. Then I met Jay and was fairly impressed. he talked a big game yet shot me straight and gave me ...all the scenarios on how this could play out. But then it changed fast. I was very depressed and not in my right state of mind when all this was going on. One day I emailed Jay and was very stressed. I figured he would email me back and give me a line of attorney jibirish. No. He called me, he said where are you? I said I am at home. He said I am on my way man calm down. We met up minutes later and my mind was forever changed. This man showed up and just sat with me. Did we talk about the case? Not really. He just showed up and calmed me down. By the time he left I went from crying to laughing. The man literally cared. At that bottom of the barrel moment in my life someone actually cared. Did he bill me? Nope. Did he forget me after that instance? Nope. Did he do the same thing several times over the course of 8 months? Yes. He did without hesitation and never requested compensation. He just legitimately gave a crap about what I was going through. While in court he was very respectful to all involved. he wasnt the cocky arrogant attorney that I expected the average attorney to be. At the same time he was EXTREMELY calculated and tactful. He DESTROYED every aspect of everything that was thrown against me and I can promise you what I went through was one of the worst things you could EVER go through. At the end of the day the case was dismissed. With my circumstances could any attorney of had the same result? I don't know, maybe. But would I of made it through the process? No. I 100% would not of made it through what I was going through without having Jay being there for me. He not only saved me from the false accusation he saved me from myself. I will truly be forever in debt to Jay. I feel that we get into situations and feel that things should just work out. The Justice system will just work its magic for you because you are the rare innocent person and everyone will see that. I can say first hand that's truly not the case. Our system is broken. It always has been and always will be. So it is extremely important to have someone that legitimately cares about what you are going through. Attorneys have so many cases and so much to do that it's easy for them to loose focus and even easier for them to just 50% it and move onto the next client. Not Jay. If you need a GREAT attorney. Forget that. If you need the BEST attorney call Jay Clothier.

Review

I received a DUI back in 2008!! Because it was my 3rd, I had to hire an attorney as I was facing a possible felony and prison time!! He told me that a fee for this type of offense was $3,500! I paid him $3,000 up front and told him I would pay the rest after this nightmare was over!! He was under my ...employ for almost 8 months!! He kept gettin g my trial dates adjourned, never once calling me to inform me of this!! I was attending college during this period and actually had to miss an exam to go to court only to find that my date had been adjourned!! I never heard one word from him!! When my plea date came, I met him there and he didn't even advise me how to plea so I entered a guilty plea and went to my sentencing 2 weeks later! Again, he made no contact with and never returned my calls!! I was sentenced to 60 days in jail and 90 days at "New Paths!" He didn't advise or speak for me and appeared intimidated by the judge!!
