Great Work

Clay gave me great representation! He was available before my court appearance to explain the charges and the possible outcomes before the judge. He also explained the ramifications of my actions succinctly, explaining the dangers breaking the law would have in my future. He is smart and empathetic. ...In the end, I got a serious chewing out from the judge, but was able to leave the court with a severely reduced sentence. Great attorney!

SCAMMER

I hired him as my attorney the first week went well probably because I paid him a $2000 retainer to start the case. As Time went on he put less time and effort into the case. He forgot to remind me I had court which caused a warrant for my arrest even though he filed a motion to squash the warrant it... was denied and I was detained. I fired him after going to only two court dates. I asked him for my retainer back since his services were so bad he wrote me a check for $200 and said that he was going through some things financially which is why he took the case in the first place. I would not recommend him for any criminal cases. If you are going to pay a lawyer $2000 as a down payment I would highly recommend someone younger and more professional and still savvy. This guy is a Loser, & a washed up has been!

Small Claims Court Litigation

I hired Clay Mitchell to represent me as a plaintiff in a small claims court complaint. He was knowledgeable, well prepared and knew exactly how to present the case in court. The result was a judgement in my favor for the total amount of the claim. Due to some of the particular issues of this complai...nt, I believe Clay spent more time and effort than we had anticipated. His fees were very reasonable, but I was so pleased with the result that I paid him more than he requested. I definitely recommend Clay for legal advice and representation.

Personal injury Law Suite

Clay represented me after I was struck by a car on my bicycle. He did not rush to close the case and insisted that I was healed and healthy before case settlement. He held all the care providers at bay and obtained a very fair compensation for me, and more than I had expected. I could certainly recom...mend Clay for a PI case.
