About Clayton
Biography
I represent parents, grandparents, and other family members in all forms of family law matters, including cases involving divorce, adoption, child custody and child support.
I have practiced family law at both a 70-attorney law firm and as a solo practitioner. My current practice combines the best of both. You will receive the personal attention and billing rates of a small-firm lawyer, as well as the depth of experience of a large-firm lawyer.
I routinely handle all types of family law cases, including:
- Divorce with or without property and children
- Complex property division
- New child custody cases involving child support and possession schedules
- Suits affecting the parent-child relationship (SAPCR)
- Modifying existing child custody and child support orders
- Enforcing existing court orders by contempt
- Adoptions
- Premarital and postnuptial agreements
- Interstate issues involving child custody (UCCJEA)
- Grandparents' rights

Indescribable!
I really don’t know where to begin. But As a father, I was in sinkhole dealing with abusive ex-wife who tried to take my right to see my daughter.

Helped me in my time of need
I came to Clay in my time of need after two previous lawyers I had were very negligent when handling my case. He was very responsive and simply displayed that he cared about my case.
