Best outcome possible for minor in possession

We did not know any attorneys in Utah and went by the reviews. Clayton immediately impressed me as personable and very sharp. After learning of a "minor in possession" charge, he asked questions on a minor's background that were right on. Unlike all other attorneys we talked to, he said that an arrai...gnment is important and my son has to appear with him and make a positive impression. He also pointed out that the charges could be questioned and negotiations should start immediately. He appeared in court with my son and was able to negotiate a great deal for a "minor in possession" case. My son driver's license will not be suspended and he received a 6 months probation. We are very grateful to Clayton and would highly recommend him.

Could Be a Fine Judge Someday

Delighted to leave a review. Clayton Simms represented our son who fell in with boys I can only describe as being like Pinnocchio's friends. Merrily they all did this and that. (Our son had already confessed to all.) During court Clayton Simms announced he would take our son up the hill to ...let him explain to the man in charge how all he had done wrong (breaking and entering, stealing) had been done. Putting our son in a little bit of a position of power, instead of powerlessness. He gave our son the ability to help heal and solve that painful puzzle. And he gave the place he committed misdeeds a heads-up, a way to avoid other such mischief by others. Fine, fine lawyer, what every good judge welcomes in his courtroom---someone keeping his eyes on all-important things the judge himself could possibly miss: a child's sometimes odd and unique needs, a child's apparent and non-apparent reasons for his mistakes; and finally, a firm, basic assessment of proper blame---and possible, surprising, important, solutions. Recommended----one hundred percent!

Clayton cares!

No one likes to be in a situation where you need an Attorney but if you or your loved one does - call Clayton Simms. We could not have had a better outcome in our case - it was a WIN - and it was all because of Clayton. Clayton is an expert in his field. Clayton understood our situation, dealt with u...s in a compassionate and caring manner and found the best way to represent us to insure the best outcome. We highly recommend Clayton Simms. From the very start we felt comfortable, safe and secure in his hands. We selected Clayton from his rave reviews but knew from the very first conversation with him about our case - he was the one we needed to see us through this. Thank you so much Clayton.

Clayton saved my life and proved my innocence.

False allegations were made against me, and I had no where to turn to. Clayton was referred to me by a family friend, and he literally saved my life. Facing false allegations when you know you are innocent is the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life. Clayton was hone...st, upfront, and most importantly, very fast in his defense in my name. Clayton was able to prove my innocence before I was ever booked, or had to face a trial. All I had to do was be completely honest, and trust Clayton and his advice/actions. If you have been wrongly accused of anything, I highly recommend Clayton Simms. Just be honest, and he will do everything in his power to prove your innocence as swiftly as possible. He is incredibly understanding, and 100% trustworthy. Thank you for everything Clayton, I will never forget everything you have done fore me.

Clayton did the impossible

My name is Steve, my son was brought up on serious felony robbery charges involving his girlfriend who was pregnant with my sons child. After my son and his girlfriend got into an argue meant, she asked him to leave the house,after he left he realized he left his wallet in her house. He tried to get ...back into her house but she wasn't answering the door. Thinking that she was just ignoring him, he kicked the front door damaging the door and climbed into her first floor window to see if she was there, and to get his wallet, which had his entire paycheck in it. He realized she wasn't' there, grabbed his wallet, and immediately left the house. Upon leaving, his girlfriends cousin came to the front door with her husband. She knocked on the door and my son answered and opened the door letting her in. They got into an argument over him being in the house. She then called the police, and pressed charges against my son,for burglary and an assault charge. She also was pregnant at the time. My son was charged with felony 2 burglary, 2 assault charges and a criminal mischief charge. He was facing 1 to 15 years on these charges. The DA wanted to hang my son for burglary and 2 assault charges against pregnant woman when all it really was, was an argument between my son and his girlfriend. Neither girl sought medical attention as my son never even touched the woman. Still, the DA would not give in and would not budge on the charges. Clayton advised us to play hardball and take this case to trial. To make a long story short, Clayton stood his ground and after 9 months, all charges were dropped. Clayton was great to work with. He was always there for us, he always returned my calls and always answered my questions. Clayton Simms is "the man". He is a great attorney, his prices were very fare and he even allowed me to pay him over time. This was such a difficult time for everyone involved, but throughout Clayton was always there for us. Not only is he an amazing attorney, he is a great, down to earth, patient and caring person. If you are in trouble with criminal charges, I strongly recommend Clayton Simms. My sons case was very complicated and Clayton handled it perfectly. Every move he suggested turned out to be the right move. I will never forget Clayton and his non matched socks that are his trademark. He is a superb lawyer and an even better human being. If you need a criminal lawyer, there is no one I would recommend more. Again Clayton, thank you for everything and May God bless you. Sincerely, Steve.
