Good Attorney but Horrible Company

It is good communicating with Eric Clay, an easy-going professional lawyer. But you have very limited chance to talk with him. The company's management is horrible. They will play tricks to move an extremely simple case to trial just in order for additional legal fee. After charging your trial f...ee, they will disclose the news that the DA decide to dismiss your case. You can not get any refunding according to the "pre-designed" contract. The worst thing is they dared to charge your card arbitrarily without your agreement for any amount beyond the contract.

I honestly can’t believe this review, it must be either from another jealous attorney or an incredibly ignorant ex client that I was able to secure a DISMISSAL on their charges right before TRIAL! No case in the criminal justice system is guaranteed a dismissal nor can any attorney guarantee a client one, that’s unethical and I refuse to do that. Many attorneys do just that to get money, I have never behaved that way. I am absolutely honest, my record of DISMISSALS speaks for itself. As for a case being set for trial and being dismissed right before trial that is due to my hard work and dedication to my clients, not because the case was easy and tricks used. That’s just ridiculous and ignorant and not how the criminal justice system works. If this ex client is who I believe it is you are completely wrong and I secured a dismissal on your case before trial because of my hard work and refusing to give an inch, not because the DA’s Office didn’t believe you were guilty. There were witnesses lined up to testify to guilt. I just out worked them and you are extremely lucky I was your attorney or you would have a conviction right now and your rights and freedom stripped. If a case is set for trial it’s not due to tricks, it’s because the DA’s Office believes they can secure a guilty verdict or no plea agreement can be had. That means I had to work to prepare for that trial and keep fighting the charges. Why on earth would you even think you should get a refund for the hard work that I already performed just because I was able to secure a dismissal? Did you want the State of Texas to issue you an apology as well? Guess what, they won’t. You were arrested, charged, probable cause found and eventually we got our trial date to fight like hell to win, I WON by securing that Dismissal right on the eve of trial. That’s not easy to do, you are completely ignorant of the criminal justice system if you believe that’s a simple thing to accomplish. Yes, I had to prepare for the trial itself and be ready the day of trial, I did and secured a dismissal because of my dedication to you and your future. Nor does my firm charge fees not owed. Not once, ever. Everything is in writing. Everything. Instead of gratitude for ME securing YOU a DISMISSAL I get this low class ignorant review. This type of entitled behavior is exactly why hard working dedicated attorneys like myself turn away clients like you and you get stuck with either an inexperienced lawyer or one who just doesn’t care and only wants your money. That’s not me, I care, I fight like hell and I won your case. Good luck in the future, I’m sure you’ll need it.
