About Robert

Learn Robert’s areas of practice.

5
Practice areas
  1. Criminal defense
    20%
    Being arrested or under suspicion of a crime is serious and potentially life changing. It must be handled by an experienced attorney. When citizens defend themselves from accusations of a State or Federal Government; they are at an unconscionable disadvantage. We level the playing field. Robert D. Clements, Jr. & Associates will take the fight to the State and force them to conclude that your particular case may be one that they need to make go away.

  2. Family
    20%
    First and foremost, we never forget we’re dealing with families. A “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead” legal approach can be financially and emotionally devastating. Make no mistake, we work aggressively on our client’s behalf, but one of our most important jobs is to provide perspective---to help you see the big picture. We work to achieve the best possible solution for you and your family’s long-term satisfaction.

  3. Litigation
    20%
    Even if you have a perfectly legitimate beef with them, the big insurance companies will do their best to intimidate you. They don’t intimidate us. For starters, we know how they think. If they suspect you aren’t going to take them to court, insurance companies aren’t likely to pay what they owe. When necessary, we are quick to file a lawsuit against them. We give insurance companies every opportunity to do the right thing but we are not afraid to go to trail.

  4. Personal injury
    20%
    Unlike many personal injury attorneys, Robert Clements is Board Certified in Personal Injury and Board Certified in Civil Trial Advocacy. In other words, he’s not afraid to take on the big insurance companies or other defendants in court. This is to your benefit financially; often, a lawyer’s reputation that he actually tries cases improves your chances of a better outcome, as opposed to simply accepting the defendant’s settlement amount.

  5. Probate
    20%
    Dealing with wills and other issues within this area of the law can be emotionally draining. For this reason, we personally tailor our approach to suit your needs. If you prefer, we’ll handle a majority of the work involved, with very little input required of you. However, where appropriate, you are also welcome to take part in the process and do some of the work yourself, which saves you money.

QUALITY LEGAL ADVICE FOR TOUGH SITUATIONS. FOCUSING ON FAMILY AND LITIGATION MATTERS.

Since 1985, Robert D. Clements, Jr. & Associates have provided outstanding legal counsel in a variety of different areas of the law. We offer clients the same resources as larger firms, without sacrificing the personalized focus and attention that comes with a centralized staff. We make it a point to treat every individual who comes through our doors with the same respect and attention we’d give to a family member. Individual attention is coupled with a candid assessment of the potential attorney’s fees necessary to succeed. In the words of Robert D. Clements, Jr., “I’d rather explain the price than apologize for the quality.” Many law firms underbid jobs, and as a result, they don’t work your case fully. Unlike them, we charge for the work we know it will take to get the job done right the first time. No matter what your situation, our highly skilled attorneys will be beside you every step of the way.

Excellent Service & Availability
Mr. Clements was referred to me as a highly recommended attorney and he did not disappoint. He was very transparent with me, providing great insight for my specific needs. Excellent communication as well, was never too busy to take a call and was very prompt to follow up when necessary. Could not have asked for a better attorney relationship, very easy going, factual, and got straight to the point so as not to waste any time. 5 stars, highly recommend!

Great Help after Previous Difficulties
I was put in touch with Robert Clements Jr. after having difficulties with the lawyer who was representing me during my divorce. My previous lawyer failed to properly fill out a form needed for me to receive the retirement money promised me in the divorce decree. With my previous lawyer not returning my phone calls, I was under a great deal of stress. After speaking with Mr. Clements, within 24 hours he was able to put me in touch with an expert who could ensure the form was properly completed. Working with Mr. Clements has been the least stressful part of my divorce. I only wish I had been able to find him sooner.

Fantastic Team of Lawyers!
My husband and I have used Robert D. Clements Jr Law Group off and on over the last 20 years for Child Custody, Car Accidents and more. Our most recent was a car accident that Nathan Swoyer handled for us and did just a fantastic job! I can definitely say they are fast, thorough and care about you as the client, not just the money involved. Highly recommend!!

Family
If I could give more stars I would! The wisdom and experience working with this law firm made things more than comfortable in what was a very stressful and tense time. Chris Lay was my attorney and was hands down one of the most personable lawyers I have ever met. He was a guys guy and had a very compassionate outlook on life and most importantly will fight for what is right in your situation. We talked quite a bit on the phone, texted and even while on vacations we stayed in touch. Sonya was tremendous on the inside or should I say in the trenches and behind the scenes keeping everybody up to date and in the loop. I highly recommend this firm if you are in need of an attorney experienced in family law and will fight hard for you with the upmost professionalism! As a man in Texas I got custody of my 4 small children and in Texas it’s just hard period as a man to get custody, it may be a perception but it happened and all because I chose to hire this firm. Please do your research and consult with this firm! I can’t express how happy I am that I did. I will be forever grateful!

Nathan Swoyer
Mr. Swoyer has worked with our family in two cases now and both times his expertise and ability to explain to us what was taking place and why has been extremely helpful. It has allowed us to understand the process and quell any anxieties we were experiencing. We would not hesitate to contact Mr. Clements' firm in the future to work with any of his lawyers after these interactions with Mr. Swoyer.

Extremely Helpful Consultation
Mr. Clements took the time to speak with my husband and I regarding an extremely time sensitive matter. We called and he set up the consultation the very next day. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and gave us several suggestions as to how to proceed while dealing with a noncompete contract. We were very impressed with him and should we need to move forward with legal representation he will be our first call.

Great Attorney highly recommended
Mr. Clements served as a lawyer for my exs child's mother and did an amazing job for her then. So good I went and looked at their case from 10 years ago just to find him for mine. He was able to give me the answers I needed and was so helpful. He is extremely personable and if I ever need help again I would 100% go right back to him.

Wise advise led to resolution without Court
Being sued in small claims court by contractor I fired because his construction efforts to my home were dangerous & unacceptable. Necessary to hire competent contractors to remove & repair properly. He claiming more payment was due. Mr. Clements spent time reviewing documents and interviewing. His recommendation for resolution was accepted and agreeable to me as I avoided time in Court and additional attorney fees. His manner was courteous & respectful. I appreciated his being sensitive to my anxiety over the problem.

Professional & Knowledgeable
I went in for a consultation to make sure there was nothing more I could do in a probate case. Robert was very informative and honest with his explanation. He truly seemed to care about my situation. There was nothing I could do in my case, but I appreciated that he didn't advise me to hire him only to lose the case. Very upstanding! I highly recommend him as a lawyer and will use him if another case arises!

Consultation
It is my pleasure to recommend Robert for all your legal needs. I scheduled a consultation with Robert where he took the time to explain all my options, and advised on what he felt was the best course of action. He didn't try to sell me on moving forward until I'm ready to do so, and went as far as to say, "Dan, I don't want you to do anything until you're truly ready". He's the first lawyer I've ever met who didn't try and push a potential client into immediate action. Even after spending over an hour reviewing my options he still refused to charge me for the consultation. I highly recommend Robert anytime you're in need of legal help.

Exceptional customer service
I am having an issue with child support and I reached out to Mr. Clements for a free consultation. His assistant told me that he would call me and he called me back almost immediately. He spoke to me for over an hour about my situation. He was very thorough, answered all my questions and provided me with various legal options to consider and pursue. I felt very comfortable talking to him and felt like he really cared. This is rare in this day and time, especially when customer service is at an all-time low. I would definitely refer him to all my friends and family.

"Mr. Clements is an exceptional attorney. I found him through an article that he wrote. He is extremely creative and thinks outside the box. I'm grateful for the time he spent gathering material to assist me, and for the time he spent on the call with me. Words cannot adequately express my appreciation."
Litigation Attorney | Oct 10
Relationship: Worked for lawyer
"I endorse Bob Clements for many reasons. He is truly a "Lawyer's lawyer" who I would personally consult or engage to represent me if need be. Passionate--as well as compassionate--Bob deeply cares about people. He quickly earns the admiration and respect of his clients as well as his courtroom opponents. His patient, lazer-like focus, coupled with his double board trial certification, makes him a formidable adversary that you absolutely want on your side. I have worked many cases with Bob; we have tried jury trials and other contested matters together, so I can say what an honor it is to know and work with this well-seasoned litigation champion."
