Employment Contract
Clayton always takes the time to help. I've worked with him on a couple of different issues and he has always steered me in the right direction. I highly recommend him. Thanks again Clayton for your good advice.

ADA violation
I was terminated from my job as a server at an upscale steakhouse due to my prescribed pain medication. I found Mr Craighead's ad on Google and called him to find out what my rights were. Initially, I just wanted the restaurant to know they did not have a real reason to fire me. Mr Craighead helped me to see what I deserved in the case and within a few weeks I was signing a confidentiality agreement. Because of how quick he was able to negotiate a settlement, my bills did not bounce and my accounts didn't go into over draft. Thank you again Clayton, for representing me.

Met and exceeded all expectations
Clayton is a go getter. He spent a considerable amount of time researching my case and discussing it with me before he was hired. His communication was excellent and he always responded the same day when I called. Even if that meant calling me after hours from home. I would recommend him to anyone that has an employment law situation requiring representation. Thanks to his research and hard work my ex employer had no choice but to settle my claim.

Check Engine Problem
I called Clayton Craighead to assist me I bought a car with check engine light on and the car lot said they would repair after he found out the diagnostic result he did not want to pay. Clayton Craighead got him to pay really fast. Great job in short time. I will call him if needed in future.

Stupendous!
I knew in my heart that I was severely wronged. Desperately, I searched for an attorney who would listen to me, my plea and restore some peace and normalcy in my life and that of my family's. After even trying several organizations and being turned away, my hope was growing so dim. Then came the response from Mr. Craighead. After I explained my plight, he "stepped up to the plate" after agreeing with me that in fact, I had been "wronged." I can say from personal experiences that there are good attorneys (and not so good ones). But with Mr. Craighead, I can say that the 5 stars in this rating does not do him justice! For me, he surpasses excellence. He kept me abreast of all matters as they occurred in my case timely and answered all questions timely, sometimes it even surprised me! Ethics! That is what he possesses as well as intelligence! Therefore, in MY opinion, it is VERY rare to have an attorney these days, not only "listen" to you, the client, but "understand" all the confusion and pain that comes with being wronged. Mr. Craighead is in one word - stupendous - and when ANYONE asks me who I HIGHLY recommend for a GREAT attorney- two words will ALWAYS come to mind - Clayton Craighead!
