LifeSaver Lawyer!

Thx so much Michael Clayton for ur SUPER flawless FREE counsel when u seen I was directed the wrong way by another lawyer and about to get ripped off! I feel great about all dealings with Michael Clayton. He genuinely cared about MY best interest and I feel I owe him. He never hesitated to meet with... me when he knew I just wanted to pick his brain! Thx bro! :)

An authentic individual and an overall caring person...especially for the little guy!

At 19 years old, I relocated to Santa Maria,CA from Colorado and was looking for a part time position in a law firm. I had an interest in studying to be a lawyer and pursued an up close experience. I visited many law firms, but in every occasion could not get myself past the receptionist. When I walk...ed into Mr. Clayton's office I was seen by him fairly quickly. Although Mr. Clayton was not able to offer me a position, he spent at least an hour with me giving me advice and explaining his lawyer experience. When was the last time any person got to receive an hour of legal advice for free?! In a time when the populace has a blemished view of the lawyer profession, Mr. Clayton stands out as an outlier of being an authentic and caring individual. I also know that Mr. Clayton looks after his community. He allowed my father and I to volunteer for Veteran's Day when he would rent the local Veteran's Hall and offer a free plate of piping hot Santa Maria BBQ to the community! Mr. Clayton knows the time tested truth that a person reaps what he sows. He has sowed hard work and humility, may he reap all the benefits that always come to a man of such actions.
