Claire Monsman Petty

I was on deferred adjudication probation for about a year and a half, My term was supposed to be a three year period, but thanks to Claire, I'm officially done and free to move on with my life! She has made the whole process incredibly smooth and easy to deal with. Everything worked out in a timely ...manner (and I didn't even have to show up in court!)

Claire was incredibly helpful during this very stressful process. She was very realistic with me from the beginning, giving me the best and worst case scenario. It was exactly what I needed to hear. She also consulted in everything I needed to do in the meantime while waiting for court, both in my pr...ofessional and personal life. I honestly could not have asked for a better lawyer. I consulted a few lawyer before Claire and a few after. Some were good but others were just awful. With Claire, even during consultation, she was already taking note about me and my case. When the case took a long time to process, Claire even took time to explained why it was taking so long, even though it wasn't her fault. After my sentencing and during my probation period, she still answered any questions I may have had and I look forward to working with her again when I can this off my record. Thanks for the help Claire!

I met with a few other attorneys before meeting Claire. Within 2 minutes after meeting Claire, I was not only sold on having her represent me, I was elated that I would have someone handle my case with the utmost of knowledge, experience and compassion necessary to give me the best outcome possible.... And, that is exactly what happened. Claire was very helpful in explaining the process and my options and giving me sound advice that I needed along the way. As Claire explained to me, I had a great chance of fighting my case in court, but after careful deliberation and with Claire's advice, decided to take a less risky approach. Result: Assault, NO affirmative finding of family violence, Class A misdemeanor, deferred adjudication and probation of 9 months. Claire helped with the filing of early release from probation after only 3 months, which was approved by the court. Claire will also help me in having this non-disclosed in 2 years. I highly recommend Claire! She's awesome!

I can't say enough good things about Claire. I have had to turn to her for help more times than I care to admit. However, she has helped me time and time again, without judgment and with the utmost compassion. She goes out of her way to take care of her clients and makes you feel like your issue is p...riority, NOT the cost and fees it takes to do it. In fact, I was even refunded half my money last time because she was able to get an extension from the judge on my last order! I cant imagine anyone better suited for a profession like this because she doesn't just do it for the money like so many others do. She truly cares about others and wants to help. When it feels like your world is spinning out of control, she'd the balance you'll need to feel grounded again.

In Summer 2017 I made a horrible mistake that led to a misdemeanor B. While I would rather not disclose what exactly I did, I can say it was my first (and only) time to be in trouble with the law. It was all in all a big mistake and Claire understood that. She helped explain to me what I needed to do... and how to do it to get the best outcome. She answered all my questions about legal jargon and took me step by step through the process. She even explained to me that there were programs I could apply to that could help completely erase this from my record, if I chose to go through that. And when I did, she helped me through that too. With both of our busy schedules, Claire stayed on top of everything via email and we made sure that everything that might’ve been confusing was put in plain English. Not only that, but she even took time out of her personal time with family to answer some of my questions, which I appreciated immensely. She made this very horrible experience slightly easier and I wish there was more I could do to thank her. Absolutely I recommend her to anyone, she’s done incredible and has been a great help to me and my family.
