Hope

I had a consultation with Michael a few months ago and needless to say I went a different direction and things didn't work out. I'm back in his office and he once again is giving me hope in my situation. My advice is stick with Mr. Clayton he gets straight to the point and will get the job done!!

VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER

Hired this firm some years back for bankruptcy filing. I could not possibly be more dissatisfied with their performance.

Highly Recommend

Michael Clayton told me during my initial consultation that he would handle every aspect of my case and he did exactly that. I experienced immediate positive results. It was very obvious to me that he was personally involved in resolving my legal problems in an expeditious and fair way thus resultin...g in the least cumbersome and less expensive situation for me. If you want an attorney that "Walks the Talk", than he is the attorney for you.

Outstanding Attorney

I consulted with Michael Clayton after I settled with an insurance company regarding a not my fault car accident. He was very helpful and explained it would be better to do the final settlement after all medical related costs are incurred or identified. The property damage claim to repair damages to ...my car can be settled separately, which I did, I should have waited to settle the medical related claim. Michael Clayton is an excellent Attorney, who I recommend to anyone in need for expert legal advice or representation. Michael also has exemplary People Skills...hard to find these days. Use him you will not be disappointed. Sincerely, Gerry
