Free-consultation

I spoke with Mr. Clement today about filing a divorce. He is very knowledgable guy with tons of years of experience. He was very honest with me and told me exactly what I might lose and gain from the divorce. I highly recommend Mr. Clement’s law office if you’re ready to fill for a divorce.

Family Practice

I have rated this law firm with 5 stars. Bruce's team, and included him, are professional , honest and are very explicit when talking to you about your case. They give you options and help guide you to your goal. I give thumbs up to Malinda, the paralegal, who answered questions and always returned ...my calls immediately. If you want a firm that gets the job done, this firm is for you.

Keep lookng if you have a high-conflict case!!!

Mr. Clement's staff was exceptional in their duties. I waited six months after trial ended to ensure I would write a fair review and not just write something while I was angry. I will say that if you have a fairly easy case he may be the attorney for you. On the other hand, if you have a high-conflic...t case that will be extensive, confusing, and exhausting I would not recommend him for he will not dedicate the time needed for such a case. The judge at my trial went almost completely against what the GAL had recommended to the court because Mr. Clement failed completely in corroborating what the GAL recommended. Prior to trial I attempted to give him a copy of the book Splitting stating that this will be what this case involves and he flat our refused to even look at it stating, "that's not how the courts work". That statement and his refusal to believe in his client's crazy story is still costing my daughter and me dearly. I have since spoken with other attorneys that can't understand why most of my evidence, that clearly painted what was going on, was dismissed by Mr. Clement because he deemed it all as irrelevant. Again, if you have a high-conflict case, .... keep looking. If you and your ex are working together, then this is your man. His firm will draft amazing paperwork for you both. I hate writing this but prior to retaining him I explained that my case was going to be extremely high-conflict and he assured me that his firm was prepared. He failed my daughter and I both and I don't want anyone else to have to go thru that. These cases are hard enough ... financially and mentally! Also, he is extremely knowledgeable but just not in dealing with high-conflict cases which is why I only rated him as Fair.

The client was upset because I did not try to introduce a book the client liked ("Splitting") as evidence in the case. I tried to explain that the book was not admissible as evidence, but the client unfortunately concluded that I was unreasonably ignoring his wishes. The judge gave more visitation time to the client, but not custody. Trying to introduce the book would not have helped the client's case.

DON'T HIRE HIM!

He charged us $58,000 and then, when we finally had our day in court, he wasn't prepared for rebuttal and completely bombed. When it came time for him to argue our case he just stood in silence while opposing counsel ripped our case to shreds. When he had the opportunity for rebuttal, he didn't say a...nything, just folded his papers. We were ordered to pay the opposing attorney because we lost. We thought he'd be great based on his peer rating, but now we know how bad he is and wouldn't recommend him to ANYONE. Numerous times we told him he was charging us more money than we could afford, but he just kept telling us we had a strong case and he thought we'd win. So we went through our savings believing what he said.

This was an extremely difficult non-parental custody case. The client wanted to vacate an adoption of the client's grandchildren which had occurred years ago. At the beginning of the case, it appeared that there was significant evidence supporting the client. However, important evidence was produced by the adoptive parents which significantly hurt the client's case. During the final hearing, the client wanted me to try to introduce evidence the judge had already excluded; this would have irritated the judge and might have caused more problems for the client. After the hearing the client chose not to appeal.

Extremely pleased

I needed a family law attorney to handle a divorce for me. I chose to give Bruce a try, based upon reviews I'd seen on the internet. I was extremely pleased not just with Bruce, but with his entire staff, as well. The entire team was upfront with me about expectations and fees and they kept me ver...y well informed. Melinda provided the gentle (But firm) prodding I needed when I fell behind on gathering and providing the information they needed to help me. Her role was vital. They kept all of their commitments. Additionally (And very important to me), they were very respectful of my now ex-wife's feelings. I hope that I don't need an attorney again anytime soon but, if I do, my first call will be to the Clement Law Center.
