Clayton Ernest Longacre

My name is Apolonio Vega Garcis, on July 12, 12010 I was arrested and charged with 3 felonies and 1 misdemeanor. I was given a public defender and I professed my innocence but the public defender had neither the time nor inclination to believe or defend me properly. After 5 months I was offered a yea...r and a day in prison as plea from the prosecution, my PD urged me to accept to the offer. It became obvious that I was an innocent man and was going to be sent to prison. My family refused to accept that and started to search for a good lawyer to represent me and by word of mouth and extensive searching, Clayton Longacre was found. Clayton came to see me at 8:30 that night, he asked me what happened and listened to me without interruption for half an hour. He said he wished I had called him sooner and that he would ‘take care of me.’ For the first time in 6 months I had hope. Clayton investigated the arrest and interviewed everyone involved including the police, the witnesses, and the accuser. On Feb. 3 we went to jury trial, the prosecution was asking for a sentence of 5 years. Throughout the trial Clayton was able to point out time and time again the facts which proved my innocence. After only 3 hours of deliberation the jury returned with a Not Guilty verdict on all 4 charges. I did not get off by a technicality; Clayton proved that I was innocent. If I were sent to prison at 58 for 5 years I’m sure it would’ve ruined my life forever, Clayton Longacre saved my life. I have spoken with him several times since I got out, he really cares for the people he defends. I owe him a debt which I can’t adequately pay. If you need legal representation you cannot do better than Clayton Longacre. Clayton Longacre has outstanding ethics and is fully recommended.

Longacre Law saved my life! Clayton Longacre defended me in a Kitsap County Superior Court case. I was looking at a felony conviction and a couple years in prison. He never gave up, even after I failed to pay my detainer fee. In 2005, after over a year of going to court all my charges were dismissed.... I owe everything I have to Clayton Longacre and his devoted staff. Thank you again

Clayton Longacre represented my brother-in-law on 3 felony and 1 misdemeaner charges which included domestic violense.Mr Longacre not only charged a reasonable fee but when it was all said and done the verdict was not guilty on all four counts.He looked at the evidense and believed in his client .He ...pointed out things in court that most lawyers would have missed.Clayton was a little difficult to get a phone call from at times,but when the chips counted he communicated well.Prosecuters do not like going against Clayton , he knows what he is doing.I would definitley use him again.

Mr.Longacre is very difficult to reach, neither he or his occassional staff return calls or emails in a timely manner, which makes for a very and stressful situation. I telephoned him at his office and on his cellular phone on numerous occassions without success. He is frequently late to court or o...n occassion might not even appear. He is a very nice man, but is often ill or away from the office; not very professional or responsive. His correspondence gets the point across, but he needs someone to review for grammar and once again, professional appearance. If you are looking for someone to represent you in a drug or criminal case - he is definately the man! He has a great deal of experience & knows drug law very well. I would not recommend him for any other type of representation, he just does not have staff that is experienced with computers or legalize to provide what is necessary.
