Lance Raymond Claery

Lance developed a game plan the Friday before my Monday morning hearing. At 4:50p.m. Overall, the associate attorneys Lance directed did a good job, worked long hard hours, & genuinely fought for my 2 yo son to kept out of the unsupervised care of his violent father. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough.... I regret terminating services the last day of trial because I felt I was not being heard. Opposing counsels salacious lies were excessive, impossible to keep up With & convincing even to me. I was overwhelmed, caring for a new baby, & failed to provide much supporting documentation for anything really. But I felt like I knew more aboit my case, & could do better, so I terminated Lances services. Foolishly. Rudely. They still didn’t give up. Answered my emails, gave advice, etc. Even on the last day, final hearing I requested to no representation before the xoie, Charlene & Tim stayed on the line the entire hearing, free of charge, to hear what the orders were. I lost everything in the next 3 months, including custody of my very attached baby boy, shortly after his 2nd birthday. He knew when he went with his Dad what was in store for him, crying, screaming, etc. He fought hard, regressing in speech to 1 word “mam”, now rapidly shakes his head no, squeezing caregivers necks at exchanges 2 months ago, before he was taken by police 8/6/21 to live with his Dad bc I didn’t follow orders of 50/50 & missing the last hearing. I don’t see that I’ll ever get him back. I regret not keeping this office on my case, failing at handing over all medical reports & photos as uncomfortable & full of shame as they made me. I’m sorry for not answering their calls, or a helping them with answers they requested. Because now it’s too late . I’ve had no contact for over a month with my child. I’m not on drugs (all negative yes results), not mentally ill ( psychiatrist & counselor for PTSD verifying this), provided a happy & healthy living environment, & met all basic child needs. I am a credentialed teacher. I can’t comprehend how this can happen to innocent KIDS. But it did. Without Lance & his team, my angel was placed in grave danger almost IMMEDIATELY. I didn’t have a chance to say anything. I was refused a guardian ad litmum, continuance to respond to a declaration I wasn’t served, & my son hasn’t had any contact w his mother’s in a month. It’s a nightmare that never ends. I wish I told Lance how lucky I was, gave the staff everything they asked for, and timely. I wish I never let them go. My innocent Landon will never recover. There was never any evidence or proof to any of my ex’s claims, yet he was recently granted a DVRO, potentially blocking me from my son for 5 years, the reverse of what was on the table when Claery & Hammond were my attorneys. Out of all the attorneys Lance was THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE, REALISTIC, HONEST, & COMPASSIONATE. A child doesn’t have ANY guarantee at getting just & fair orders. Eevery parent has an obligation to protect their child’s interests through competent representation, WHO wil fight in their behalf, aggressively.. Lance, Tim, Eli, Charlene, & Elizabeth did that, until I stopped them. It was the worse mistake of my life. Hire this firm the second you get the chance.

I was so fortunate to have found and retained Claery & Green for my divorce and post judgement issues. While the divorce itself was hard enough, in the year after my divorce, financial issues arose with my ex which were unbelievably stressful. After my divorce was final, I called Claery &Green at 4...:00 Friday evening in an absolute panic (I am not sure what I expected them to do at that moment), I was transferred to Mr. Claery who advised me of what my next steps should be and assured me that I was protected should the matter need further action. A few weeks ago, another issue came up and again I called Claery & Green very upset and again they were there for me by providing counsel and services. What impressed me most is that they not only addressed the immediate issue but also provided strategies to preemptively address future problems. Knowing that I had competent and compassionate advocates on my side really helped me though a very difficult year. I would recommend Claery & Green for legal services without hesitation.

Highly recommended!! I don't usually write reviews, but Mr. Lance Claery's commitment/work on my complicated legal case was outstanding. I cannot thank Mr. Claery and his staff enough for the outstanding job they did on my legal case. You and your staff made the best of a very difficult time in my ...life. From my initial phone call with Mr. Claery, I got the feeling that he was interested, focused and committed to my case. Once I started with his firm, I no longer felt scared and confused by my rights and how to negotiate the legal world. Anytime I had an issue, concern or question with my case, Mr. Claery or his associate attorneys, were available to answer my question or address my concerns. Over the next twelve months it took to get to trial, we faced many challenges. I say we faced, because I felt like the entire staff was there with me every step of the way. What could have been a continued disaster ended with the outcome that I desired. Throughout my case, Mr. Claery was always meticulously prepared. He handled my negotiations and the detailed documentation preparation in a manner consistent with the highest business standards. As we went to court he provided a clear agenda of my case, while the other party was trying to confuse and prolong the case, Mr. Claery pushed forward through this nightmare. In the end, I was ecstatic with the courts decision. I interacted with both Mr. Claery and Mr. Green, and would like to thank both of them. I have found both to be very knowledgeable, competent, dedicated, hard working, trustworthy, professional and kind. They took a weight off my shoulders and handled everything from start to finish. I will be forever grateful. While I hope that I do not need their services again, if I have any issues I will not hesitate to go back to this law firm for future services. I would also like to mention that the support staff also embodies the same level of excellence as Mr. Claery and Mr. Green. I am forever grateful to Claery and Green. Without hesitation I recommend this firm!!!
