Clayton Ernest Longacre

I retained Mr. Lonacre for my grandaughter, on two felony charges, he is very unprofessional, and has no staff except his girl friend, which he using as a secetary. Does'nt keep you informed of what is happing, shows up to court late, or doesn't bother to show up, we paid his retainer of $5,000 for... each charge plus $3,000, for a grand total of $13,000, he calls only to demand more money. Has done nothing but write a brief which he told my grandaughter , that was another $5,000 , it had missed spelled words, the wrong date and was only two pages, I think he is the worst attorney I have ever had to deal with, he would text my grandaughter and Threaten her (if she didn't give him more money he would not appear in court, or he would with draw as her attorney, which in the end he did, with no refund of any of the money . They did drop one charge, but no thanks to him. We knew that would happen, due to illeagal search. Our experience with him was stressful and degrading. So all I have to say is client beware.

Basically took my money then ignored me for several months, didnt do hardly anything to help me. I had to hire another attorney(who quickly brought about results) to take a court date because i could not get ahold of longacre in any way,shape or form. After realizing they were going to ignore my case... completly i asked for me money back, they refused and threatedned to bill me even more.Also threatened me with 'infamatory statements' which is ridiculous becasue i have accurate documenaation and witnessed. Longacre has made yet another enemy.. Very unprofessional,BEWARE

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.

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.

Thankfully this was only the second time I have had to make use of a lawyer, but what an awful experience. Clayton never communicated with me, and instead forced me to constantly call him to be kept in the loop, but even then I found myself leaving messages for him only to never get a call back. He... is completely disinterested in his clients. In court, his performance was embarrassing at best.
