"Just a quick note to express how grateful [we] are to have found you...You handled everything so well for us and always treated us with total respect and dignity." - P.M., 2012

"I agree with each of these previous testimonials. It's now almost 2 years into our filing and we feel more empowered than ever. Rose and her staff are ALWAYS available to answer a question for us, even though we are well into our payment agreement with the court. Deciding to file in 2010 was one of the hardest decisions we had to make, but we are glad we did and we are even more glad that we chose this law office to help us." - Anonymous, 2012

"Rose and Staff, I can't thank you enough for your compassion, friendliness and expert help. Thank you, Thank you." - K.B., 2011

"Thank you all very much for everything. We would not have been able to do this without all of you. Even when we kept calling you, you reassured us that everything would be fine, and it was. We couldn't have asked for any better." - B.J., 2011

"Having to file for bankruptcy was one of the hardest realities I ever had to face. Rose and her staff made me feel so comfortable and helped me through the process from start to finish. I am so grateful." - J.T., 2009

"I have worked with professionals who are experts in their field. I have worked with professionals who are kind, caring, and compassionate. Rose is the rare combination of both." - C.M., 2010

"The night I came to see Rose was one of the darkest days of my life. Everything was wrong in my life. I had just about given up. Later, Rose told me she saw the desperation in my eyes that night. That was the reason she took my case for no charge. As she offered to help me, I sat there dumbfounded. Just when I was on the brink, Rose helped me and restored my faith in humanity. She truly impacted my life." - J.T., 2009

"When we went to the trustee meeting, I panicked when I watched other people go before me with a different attorney. The trustee kept asking for information, said she wanted to go after their assets, and made comments that paperwork was wrong. When it was our turn, it was completely different. The trustee was nice, there were no issues, and she didn't want any of our assets. At the end, she said "thank you Attorney Clayton for doing such a complete job". I was impressed and thankful that I made the right choice." - N.B., 2009

"Dealing with Clayton Law Offices was like dealing with friends. There is an open door policy and I could just stop by anytime with an issue. Rose even answers her own phone. I loved the personal attention!" - M.B., 2011

"We just want to take this opportunity to show our gratitude and sincere thanks for the exemplary services we received during our months of hardship and while filing for bankruptcy. The kindness, courtesy, and professionalism we received from your office staff made this difficult time for us much more pleasant than we could have ever anticipated. Although the due process was tedious and long running, we were always reassured when I called the office with any concerns or questions. Additionally, the time they took to explain everything that was coming or to be expected allowed us to feel that our future was in better than good hands. Everyone was caring and patient, and their professional approach to any situation that arose I felt was beyond their duty... Additionally, we want to express our deep gratitude to you for creating the quality environment in providing services to us where we felt more like family than clients. We realize that only an attorney of superior ethics such as yours has the ability to create such success in their work environment. We thank you very much for the "fresh start" that we could never have achieved without your high quality services. You certainly will be highly recommended should anyone we know need the services that your office provides." - F.D., 2011
