Great attorney

Clay was great during my divorce. He made sure I understood everything and was helpful at each step of the process.

No response. Unprofessional.

I have paid my debt off as they requested and for over 4 weeks now not one soul had answered the telephone or have the common decency to call me back. Instead I'm calling daily to ensure that they turn in the dismissal for debt paid. I feel that Cindy took the time when it was owed to make sure and c...all back and answer, but now that it's paid I cannot seem to have her attention to do the right and legal, morally correct thing to do and dismiss it with their paperwork. I think it's unprofessional and extremely distasteful for a company to ignore and behave in such a manner. Shows the moral compass is veering to the shady side.

Unprofessional

He was not engaged and when it came to his assistant Cindy getting involved, don’t expect her to be able to listen, follow instructions or add math. She charged me twice for something I waited 9 months for her to accomplish. Very incompetent, non apologetic and truly not professional. Clay will talk ...a good talk at first but pass everything onto Cindy who acted confused and then angry when confused. When looking at their website, again unprofessional. Spellcheck Clay and Cindy, your clients shouldn’t have to put up with sloppy.

Happy client

Clay and his office are so professional with helping me in a three-year long divorce case that was very complicated. Clay and his staff all showed kindness and compassionate toward me I would highly recommend clay Olmstead

Great Lawyer

Mr Olmstead handled my personal injury auto case. He always got back with me and kept me well informed, I'm very impressed as I have worked with other lawyers and he was the best by far!! I highly recommend Mr Olmstead.
