Outstanding lawyer who cares about his clients.

I have known Edward X. Clinton for many years as a friend, colleague and client. His legal knowledge and ability are outstanding. His training includes a degree from Harvard Law School. time as a clerk for a Federal Court judge and years as an attorney at some of the finest law firms in the country.... He really cares about his clients and what is best for them. His has a wide background in litigation, appeals and corporate law. His work for me was excellent, timely and very reasonable in cost.

Class action lawyer | Mar 11

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Ed and I worked together as co-counsel on a complex class action. After getting the class certified and defeating a motion to dismiss, Ed worked with me at a mediation to settle the case with each class member receiving substantial monetary compensation. Ed is a very smart and experienced lawyer who works hard for his clients and well with co-counsel. Our firm has referred complex legal malpractice matters to him and consults with him on legal ethics issues because of his substantial experience and competence in that area."

  • 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.
