Thank You Clayton
I contacted Clayton after being referred by my business attorney.

Incredible Defense Attorney
Clayton (and Staci) are amazing attorneys. Clayton is definately agressive. He is agressive before charges are even filed. If you have been arrested CALL HIM. He immediately starts. Many attorneys will just wait to "see what happens" and that will cost you hoards more in defense. Clayton is aggressiv...

Criminal defense
Clayton was so understanding and very down to earth. He is funny and keeps you on your feet. I have recommended him to a couple of my friends. He listens to everything you have to say and keeps your best interst in mind while defending you.
"I saw Clayton successfully defend an assault case in Salt Lake City and was very impressed by his courtroom demeanor and skills as a trial attorney. Since then, I have discussed trial strategy and other legal issues with him. I have found him to be very sharp and creative in his approach. I recommend Clayton without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. We have worked together on two cases where we represented co-defendants with similar charges, including co-defendant's charged with aggravated murder. Mr. Simms has a strong knowledge of criminal law, and conducts his representation in a highly professional manner. Like myself, Mr. Simms one of the few lawyers in Utah who is qualified for appointments on death penalty murder cases. Mr. Simms is a good lawyer, and I am happy to endorse his work."
"I first met Clayton about 12 years ago while we worked in the same building. Although I'm a corporate lawyer, I picked Clayton's brain on trial advocacy and client defense, and I learned a lot about what makes him so good in his work. He's a thought leader in his space, and he knows the criminal justice system in and out. Any time I know of someone touched by the criminal system, I send them to Clayton, and he takes care of them. He always takes care of them."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is an experienced attorney with a lot of trial experience. He is well respected by judges and prosecutors. He obtains great results for his clients."
"Clayton and I have worked together on cases. Clayton always does an exceptional job for his clients, and works well with other attorneys."
"Clayton Simms is a talented defense lawyer. He is one of the lawyers I consult when I have questions about the best strategy or tactics for a case. He knows so much about every phase of the criminal justice system. Your future is in good hands when you select Mr. Simms to represent you."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Simms is an excellent attorney. I have worked on several matters with Mr. Simms over the years and I am impressed with his legal knowledge and how hard he works for his clients."
"Clayton is an articulate advocate. He brings common sense to bear on every case. At the same time, he understands the nuances of criminal law and procedure. He is an excellent lawyer."
