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.
Practice areas
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
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.
Mark Byrne, Litigation Attorney on Oct 10, 2017
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.

Robert is a fierce advocate for his clients. He is extremely prepared in each of his cases, and he brings a combination of knowledge and passion each time he enters the courtroom.

Anyone who hires Robert to represent them will be blessed with an extremely knowledgeable and experienced lawyer
