Working with this lawyer and his associates have been amazing. I am truly grateful for the professionalism. It was great to know they had my back. I recommend them to anyone. The first day I met they were quick and super helpful. Michael was welcoming and very helpful. He treat me like family. And the process took time and but was quick at the same time. Any questions. I had the were to answer quickly. Yadira his associates has been a big help. They gave information what I could expect and were very through. Every meeting I had with them they have been welcoming and at every time they asked me if need anything and respected. When I first met Michael he was funny and very knowledgeable. He made me feel and safe secured and assured what was going happen and didn’t sugar cut it. Michael gave me his business card and called me for further and information and checked on me through the process. Yadira his associate gave me and smile constantly took of me and made me like I could ask question

I would like to express how highly satisfied I am with the way Michael Clayton and his staff have provided exceptional legal services for my husband and I throughout the entire process of our bankruptcy. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and friendly, he is very generous of his time to provide a free consultation and fight passionately for your case. I would highly recommend his services.

Mr. Clayton represented me in 1997 in a Criminal Defense case. He did a good job of explaining the procedure, accepted my calls, and was very motivated at the time. He or his associate would appear in court for me on some occasions so I wouldn't have to appear. I was ultimately satisfied with the outcome, could he have done a better job? Maybe but given what I paid compared to what other attorneys were asking I think it was fair. He did get me what I was asking for so I can't complain. I have recommended several family members some happy and some were okay with his work but I know every case is different therefore results can't always be great. I can't speak to his current work ethic I can only speak to what he has done for me and my personal experience with him. Would I hire him again? Most likely.

Mr. Michael B. Clayton continued my 'driving on suspended license' case for 9 months with very minimal communication, he would not return my call or constantly requesting more money to further review my case. I had paid him $2500 with my credit card and after nine months he still was requesting another $1000. I researched later on and received a contract from another local attorney to present me for a total fee of $1000. I consider his professional service very poor and his staff very rude.
