"Clay is an incredible lawyer! He was so good to me in a desperate situation, when hope was in short supply. He not only reassured me of my outcome, but what's more, he delivered. His staff was mutually effective at delivering. My only regret is that I failed to write this review sooner. It has been a few years now, and I was embarrassed to leave a review. I apologize for my failure to give credit where credit is due. Thank you Mr.Caldwell and all his amazing staff! Y'all are without doubt worthy of this humble review."

"I was referred to Mr.Caldwell’s Office by another attorney and I couldn’t have been more grateful and pleased to have gotten him as our attorney for my husband. I wish I could give more than 5 stars, but unfortunately 5 is the best I can do and with that being said Mr.Caldwell went above and beyond for my husband and our family with the services he provided. He was always straight forward and didn’t beat around the bush. Not only he didn’t charge an arm and a leg either for his services. I also have to give a huge shout out to the girls up front that help Mr.Caldwell out (Katie & Alyssa), thank you ladies for all of your help. I’m super thankful for all of you and how much all of you looked out for my husband and family . I hope we don’t need your services anymore, but if we ever do I know who to call and where to go. Not only, if I know anyone looking for help I know who to refer and definitely will not hesitate to give your information out. Thank you again Mr.Caldwell, Katie & Alyssa!! Keep up the amazing work that you all do and we the Bustos’s will see you around ."
