my perfect lawyer

i was in the middle of a nasty child custody arrangement with my ex which led me to seek legal actions. i found the perfect attorney in ethel clay. she was very knowledgeable, her rates are well worth the money i spent, and she remained extremely active on my case. the end results were exactly what i... was seeking which was 50/50 joint shared custody of my daughter. i can't thank her enough for her services.

Ms. Clay is a very skilled lawyer. She gets straight to the point as long as you're straight to the point in what u want from her. She moved so fast and has made everything move very quickly for my fiance and I. Also very professional ! So if anyone in baton rouge or surrounding areas for a family/...custodial case.. I highly suggest Ms Clay . u will not be disappointed

The Best!!

  “I would recommend Ethel to anyone. She was reassuring, explained all of our options very clearly, and always kept us informed about the case. She made the experience as stress-free as possible, which is something we really needed. This Lady really knows her stuff.”

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
