Tenant\Landlord Law

Clay was honest, upfront about everything involved with my case. The possible outcomes and the cost. He was competent, and won my case at a very reasonable cost. I would recommend him with confidence.

Posted by anonymous | July 31, 2015 | Wills & Living Wills

I was a client for two years and am not now.

Clay Stephens is competent if you want a will or a trust. However, after much delay, he took four months to craft a letter, which he promised would be done in a week. The following year, he mishandled my email, was unresponsive, and then charged me for his non-service. Subsequently, he asked me to d...raft a letter, then did not follow up. He delayed in relating to me a very important phone call regarding a five year long dispute with a major bank, who called to settle the matter. He did not attempt to make contact with the bank since. I have ceased using his services.
