We personally know the legal system and those who work within the system. So when we represent you, we know who we're up against and how to work with each individual in order to ensure a better outcome for you. You might feel like the legal outcome you're looking for is fair, but don't know the exact legal procedures and laws that can make it happen. Your lack of legal knowledge will be used against you by clever attorneys hired by the other party.

The attorneys of Clawson & Clawson, LLP are ready to put their vast knowledge of the law to work your case and present the issues in the right manner and at the appropriate time. Our attorneys have the ability to counterattack when the opposing party is presenting inappropriate arguments or accusations. Our attorneys take the time to become familiar with all previous judgments relating to your case so that they can cite the rules and case law in order to effectively represent you and achieve the case results that you deserve.

Hired Attorney Matthew C. Clawson

I'm in the military and recently had a divorce in Colorado in which I had consulted with Matt Clawson and he said that he would take on my case. I paid a $5,000 dollar retainer fee up front for his service. An hour before the initial status conference, I was passed off to Brian Flannery under the guise that he would be cheaper for me and conflicting schedules with Matt. However, I attended the Initial Status Conference with Brian. During the short walk to the courthouse, he told me not to agree to anything and that he was going to "play dumb" in order to have little conversation with the opposing attorney because he stated that she bullied a lot of attorney's around.

He stated at least 5 times, during the ISO, that he didn't know any particulars about the case because he had just taken the case that day. This was embarrassing. Furthermore, his knowledge of military/federal law was minimal at best. Anyhow, I had to relocate to a different state due to the military and so I had to appear by phone during later court hearings. The Temporary Orders hearing was approximately 1 month later and it was set for me to appear by telephone. Just one hour prior to the hearing, Brian calls me and we finally began discussing our approach to the case. Of note, I had been in constant contact with the Mr. Flannery and the resident paralegal, through phone but primarily through email, discussing issues that were ongoing under the presumption that the paralegal was passing the information to Mr. Flannery. I would rarely get a response from Mr. Flannery as his paralegal would answer my questions. I was worried about the hearing because I hadn't heard anything about how we were going to approach it.

Furthermore, all they kept asking for was for me to provide all documents, which I complied, that the opposing attorney was asking for while they weren't giving us anything in return. This led to certain problems. During the short discussion that I had with him an hour prior to the hearing, he seemed like he was jumping around a bit and left me concerned. The hearing didn't go well at all and my ex later told me that he was making faces during the hearing while I was testifying. Three weeks later, I received a bill from Clawson and Clawson in the amount of approx. $4,600 dollars. I thought that this was high but to be taken out of the retainer fee. That was not the case and I would later find out. One week before mediation was to take place about a month and a half later, I received another bill. This time, for $7,900. I called to talk to Clawson and Clawson about the bill and they told me that they wanted to withdrawal from my case unless I paid them at that point. I asked if I could set up a payment plan and they said no. I told them to withdrawal. The problem with this is that I had only had direct contact with Brian just a couple of times during this time frame, so I didn't quite understand.

Furthermore, nothing had been done by him. After the TO hearing, the opposing attorney and her client had 10 days to provide paperwork necessary for me to prepare a fight for future hearings. This had not been done. I contacted Brian/the paralegal numerous times about this and they did nothing about it. Now I was alone and had no money to pay them or hire another attorney because of the money that I was ordered to pay after the TO hearing. Regardless, I had to finish the case by myself and actually did better by myself during Final Orders. However, I'm currently still in debt to Clawson and Clawson/Mr. Flannery for $8,200 and accruing interest on the amount as well as the original $5,000 loan in which I took out in order to retain Matt Clawson as my attorney.




And then I posted the above review on Avvo, google and several other search engines. Three days later (after the post) I was contacted directly, from Matthew Clawson, by phone. He stated that he t

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.
