Katie far surpassed my expectations. Ms. Clary was very involved in my defense, had supreme command of the details of my case, and was better prepared, more aggressive and more knowledgeable of the law than any of the lawyers we faced.

I highly recommend Ms. Clary. I had contacted an alternate attorney prior to contacting Ms. Clary. My experience with the other lawyer was horrible and quite honestly I had thought that there was no hope. Upon meeting Ms. Clary, she gave me much comfort, professionalism and intelligence. Ms. Clary cares fearlessly for each and every one of her clients. I can't remember a time that she was not there for me while she has represented me. I highly recommend Ms. Clary.

Ms. Clary and Eban Rawls provided representation for me in a DUI case. The amount of work and personal investment that was given to my case was extraordinary. I have worked in the legal profession for 20 years and have never seen the type of dedication that Mr. Rawls and Ms. Clary provided. The case was dismissed. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Ms. Clary worked very hard on my behalf, she was able to obtain the best possible result in my case, most people would have considered it to be trivial but to me it was very important. I will always appreciate the way that she treated me, she took the time to educate me on my options, she always returned my calls promptly, each time I spoke with her I felt like I was the only client she had. I would recommend Ms. Clary and I will call her if I need legal advice in the future.

I would highly recommend any needing legal services to contact Katie Clary. She knows the legal material to a "T", and will fight for your rights to win. She is extremely attentive, and willing to work with you. She took a significant amount of time with me to ensure I had the best legal representation possible. She had an open line of communication, and worked her schedule around mine to always fit me in. She is assertive, and wants to win! Best lawyer I spoke to in Charlotte!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
