This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Knowleagable/Personable Attorney

Pete Clancy is an Outstanding Attorney. I was involved in a motor vehicle accident with soft tissue injuries to my back and as we all know those are the hardest cases for the victim to come out on top. I did come out on top and that was because Pete Clancy believed in me, stood by me, fought for me a...nd was honest with me when I needed him to be. His law firm was very prompt with paperwork and very helpful with any questions. I recommend Pete Clancy and his law firm to anyone who wants a very knowledgeable but yet very personable and honest attorney

Great Personal Injury Attorney

Pete worked on my case which involved a serious pedestrian-vehicle accident where I was the injured pedestrian. Pete is very knowledgeable and always promptly addressed my questions, concerns, and upset complaints with very clear explanations and with empathy. He was upfront with his fees from the ...beginning, which were reasonable and proved to be well spent, as I am very satisfied with the resolution of my case. Pete also resolved my case within a very reasonable time frame. As an added bonus, Pete is a very personable and likeable attorney to work with. I would definitely recommend him.

very dependable lawyer

Before we had Pete as our family lawyer, things between my husband and his ex-wife had been full of tension which also caused a lot of stress in our marriage. After talking to Pete on the phone, for the first time, my husband and I decided to fire our lawyer at that time and hire Pete which we could ...have done a long time ago. Pete takes his job very seriously and with integrity. Since we had him as our lawyer, things have been tension free between my husband and his ex-wife and we can't thank Pete enough for that. We recommended Pete to my cousin but sadly, Pete doesn't handle cases in Stockton. Pete would have been the right lawyer for my cousin who after 6 years learned that his divorced wasn't finalized yet. Pete is also very transparent about where your money goes, and in our case, he kept reminding us about our remaining retainer's fee. With Pete, we felt like we're his extended family.

Excellent DV attorney!

Little did I know when I talked to Pete the first time to get advice on how to slowly extricate myself from a relationship with an alcoholic, that I would be running out of the house with my daughter in my arms the following week. Pete helped me get through the initial crisis by guiding me through t...he necessary paperwork for my restraining order to protect both myself and my daughter. I was impressed by the way he was able to quickly digest and boil down a tremendous amount of potential evidence into a cohesive and concise case for the court. Pete was calm and reassuring through a difficult nearly year long court battle, which to my great relief, resulted in a successful outcome. Pete was honest and professional throughout and really cared about what happened to me and my daughter. I can't recommend him more highly.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
