I have hired Mr. Claridge several different times over the past few years. He listened to my concerns and he counseled me appropriately as to what options were available to me and he followed though in a timely and cost effective manner. In just one civil litigation, He argued diligently to prote...ct my assets from unscrupulous claimants, and he saved me over $25,000.00 in unjust claims. When I have had issues that were not in his area of expertise, he recommended a few other attorneys who might be able to assist me. (I guess it is true, not every attorney knows everything, about all areas of the law.) I would highly recommend him. P.S. Office staff (whether family or not) are not required to KNOW the Law or have a legal background, they are there to keep the attorney, the workload and the office organized, not to assist clients with their legal issues, and Mr. Claridge's staff seems to do that very well
