Atty Clayton Hightower is one of the finest lawyers that I have ever worked with because he is honest, personable and reliable! When I was at my worse with an injury, he helped me to get the best for my case and has worked with me for 6 years and said that he would be my attorney for life! He even helped a family member, although he is not in family law! Her case was very unjust and within days, he had it dropped. Yes! I would recommend him to family and friends!

Ms. Hightower's legal assistant called me to tell me to come in and pick up some papers. The phone call lasted less than two minutes. They called ME - I was charged $40.00 for the call. Seems a little nasty to me, especially since my case was bankruptcy and they knew how little money I had.

I feel that he did not really care about the case and was only wanting the money..I have done more on my own and not had to pay a dime.

Terrible! Unprofessional! Untrustworthy! No contact! Takes your money and you have no contact with him! He treats you like your a nuisance for you wanting them to fight for you!

Hired Attorney Beth Hightower

Seems like just out to make a buck and over her head with cases. Poor communication when came to letting her client know what consequences where of pleading one way or another. And completely ghosted her client after court. Your better of getting someone from out of town.

Hired Attorney Beth Hightower

Highly unprepared for what should have been a basic custody hearing. Did not ask basic questions that would highly influence the outcome in favor of her client. Simply put no effort and charged a very high retainer, $10,000.00 for pathetic services. Will charge you for her paralegal to lick a stamp. Absolutely will not work on your behalf.

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.
