A Phenomenal Attorney

Clayton is one phenomenal attorney! He is ABSOLUTE THE BEST! After being appointed to me from another attorney and our initial consultation, I knew right away that he would be a good representative for my repeated DUI case. He was VERY EXPERIENCED. He asked all the right questions to get to know me ...as an individual in efforts to allow him to defend me properly. He was very consistent and reliable. Anytime of the day as long as he was available, he responded back when I had a question of concern or needed advice. He took the initiative to go out his way to find out every detail involving my case. He looked for avenues seeking the best deal possible for me as his client by staying in contact with the court officials. He would advised me of what he thought was best for me, but ultimately he would leave the decision up to me. He made sure I received all my paperwork or any court documentation through emails. Anything I didn’t quite understand, he explained it to me. He also made a lot of phone calls on my behalf. And After all the court appearance and his consistency with the courts, I was able to walk away from what should’ve been a FELONY-hands down... but was plead out as a MISDEMEANOR. I am truly thankful that I followed my first mind and chose Clayton to be my attorney with this case! I actually HIRED and FIRED an attorney prior to him. I felt very confident in my decision and I stuck with it! And I’m so glad I did!

Avvo Rating

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.
