Highly Recommended - CASE DISMISSED

You want to hire a lawyer that you can trust and will work for you and Atty. Clayton Smith is the one. He explained the process and possible outcome of the case. We hired him for a family violence case that happened in Dallas and we only communicated through phone and email since we are in CA. The... case was dismissed before the scheduled trial, less than two (2) months. The other thing was that you can make payments (credit card) of his services that is less financially burdensome.

Thanks for the great review. I'm so glad that we could get your daughter's case dismissed and she can move on with her life!

Everything you need in a lawyer

Clayton Smith saved my life and allowed me a second chance. I was charged with an Aggravated Kidnapping Felony charge over a dispute between myself and a friend. I did not hurt anyone, although I did break the law unknowingly. My previous lawyer did not believe in me She only cared about money, and d...id not believe we had a case/ argument good enough to succeed. I hired Clayton literally 2 days before the grand jury. I was desperate but hopeful. He agreed to take the case, reviewed all of the information, met with the witnesses and prepared a case strong enough for the grand jury, all in less than 2 days. The result was a no bill, nothing less than amazing. Clay was awesome! He was respectful, affordable (cheaper than the other lawyers), thorough and fast, but most importantly he believed and cared about me, and I think that’s what made all the difference.

Best Around

If you want a lawyer works hard for you Clayton is your man. I was charged with a third degree felony D.V. Clayton was able to get the grand jury to No bill / dismiss the case. He is very strategic in he thinking and will give you the best defense your money can buy. I can't say enough about him. He... was always available by phone. Again thank you Clayton for saving my freedom.

works miracles!

24 hours after first talking to Clayton, he was able to get my son's felony dismissed. He knows all the right people and he knows the law, plus he is very reasonably priced. Don't waste your time and money on big slick expensive law firms, Clayton is the go-to guy if you need help in Dallas.

Case Dismissed

After three long years spent worrying and wondering and waiting. I can recall thinking to myself, shouldn't I be doing something about this? Well finally I did hire a lawyer who my friends all highly recommended. I paid him all of the cash I had and he made it clear that he will be expecting mor...e. About seven months later, I had to be in court. When I saw my lawyer he asked for the money and I said I didn't have any. He said well I am sorry but I am dropping you and you will be appointed a court appointed representative. And I was not sure how I felt about that. But from the moment that Clayton Smith introduced himself to me, I felt that this was going to be good. That was on Thursday. By Monday, he called me and said you don't have to go to court. I have spoken with the court and the case is dismissed! I couldn't believe it! Now I will tell everyone what an absolutely excellent lawyer this man is. Clayton Smith, thank you very much

Thanks for the great review! I actually filed a "Motion for Speedy Trial" that Monday. I convinced the prosecutor that she was going to lose, so we both waived your appearance at the hearing. We won, and the judge dismissed the charge. Glad you can move on with your life!
