0 out of 10 I wouldn’t recommend
omg I spent 18 months in jail for something that I did not do. I hired Clay after firing a lawyer that mislead me and took money from me. I explained to Clay’s paralegal Christina my concerns before giving her a payment. After being paid I was then told when I was scheduled for visits that Clay does ...

Replied last June 20, 2024I WON YOUR CASES AND GOT THEM DISMISSED! Your cases were Aggravated Charges in which nothing about them are easy regardless of your beliefs and I had them DISMISSED. I as the attorney had many jail visits with you, you were facing major time in prison. Your cases were dismissed because I destroyed the State of Texas’s cases and the Assistant District Attorney in a hearing, not because they believed you were innocent. They wanted you in prison for decades. I set you free by my actions, you did not even say a word. I did it ALL. I fought a long time to free you and won. Just because you were innocent did not mean the state folds their case and dismisses the charges, they believed you were guilty, they charged you, indicted you and were ready to send you to prison until I DESTROYED their case, I ACCOMPLISHED THAT FEAT, NOT YOU. If it was so easy why didn’t you represent yourself? You also mention firing another attorney, self awareness is a powerful thing to have. You admit I got your cases DISMISSED yet I’m worthless as an attorney and not worth hiring per you. That makes zero sense but exactly what I expected from you. The criminal justice system is slow and the court controls their calendar, not the defense attorney, I fought every day for you and you are FREE because of my work and the absolute Destruction I caused to the State of Texas charges against you, not because the State of Texas believed in your innocence. Three attorneys in that court that witnessed my performance that day in court and said they had never seen anything like it and you were lucky I was your attorney. Even the court staff agreed. Four defendants in the audience hired me after watching my performance destroying your cases and getting you set free. Three of their cases already dismissed. Some people can’t or won’t understand defense attorneys do not control the calendar of a District Court, however we can control our actions when that moment comes where your life would change for the worst in prison or better while free. My performance set you FREE! Thanks for the review, it reminds me to weed out ungrateful individuals where nothing I as an attorney or human being can do for them including setting them FREE instead of decades in prison gets that attorney appreciation. Sad part is I select 10 people each month regardless of case to help them pro Bono because they need an attorney who cares more about them than money. I still will keep doing that because their are a lot more people out there that need me as their attorney or their life could end in a jail cell. People like you will not deter me or my dedication to my clients. I wish you peace and enjoy the FREEDOM I WON for YOU!

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...

Replied last June 02, 2024I 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.

Amazing Attorney
Attorney Eric Clay was fantastic. He did exactly what he said he would do. He was honest and always made sure I knew what was happening. He let me pay over time which really helped my family. He cared about my case and it showed. I don’t know why anyone would give a bad review on him, unless they...

This guy sux,don’t recommend him at all he told me he was going to get me 3 months jail time and I sat in county for over a year fighting my case which he would reset me for every 90 days and at the end I signed for 2 years tdc prison!!
Eric Clay
Replied last February 02, 2026Not once in my career have I ever promised or guaranteed a client an outcome, not one time. The courts decide the reset dates, not I. They are set due to evidentiary reasons as well as the courts calendar. You just said you signed for 2 years tdc prison, which means there was a plea agreement reached and guilt admitted by YOU, not ME which likely saved you a heck of a lot more time in prison after a trial. As an attorney I do not get to dictate if you will or will not accept a plea agreement, the client does, if you had decided not to I would have fought like hell in trial like I always do, oh and I win a lot. YOU CHOSE YOUR PATH, don’t blame others, accept responsibility or you will never change nor grow from it.
