The Clements Law Firm

Pathetic representation! I hired Corey Clemence to defend me in a criminal case and he wasted 5 months of my time waiting on video evidence that I told him over and over again they were not going to turn over. We eventually decided it was best he remove himself from the case and I ended up representing myself because he was so ineffective! If you want good representation this is not the place to find it. Matter of fact it seems to me he did the absolute minimum as possible and was content sitting on his hands delaying my case over and over some of which was for his own personal vacation while I sat without a car as it was seized racking up impound fees. I'm in total regret of hiring this firm I expected better representation but instead I got a weak attorney!

I'm so happy to hear of other people's experiences that went well. Unfortunately, that not how I feel my experience has been. I feel as though they took my money, and have been too busy with other cases. I literally only talked to Cory at the 1st meeting and it's been his other workers from there on. I can never get a call back or a response to an email as to updates. I usually have to make an actual appearance at the office to get any answers. I literally met with Cory on Nov 3 and asked about an estimated date for things to be final, he said possibly by the end of the year. Well, that date has passed. By 5 months into the next year. All I'm saying is I paid a lot of money, and I don't see or feel like I'm being treated the way they would want to be treated.

We are going through a parental termination/step-parent adoption case & when we talked to Cory during the consultation, he seemed like the best choice. I had a lot of anxiety through the termination portion, but he calmed my nerves assuring me we would be fine. He was always honest and upfront with me so I wouldn’t be caught off guard. During our hearing, he was amazing and very knowledgeable and he won our case! We haven’t gotten to do the adoption hearing yet, but I know when we do he will be great again!

Went in to see if the law firm would be able to help me and was treated very poorly by the lady working in there. Needless to say I was able to find another law firm to help me and paid them $5200 up front.

I'm not sure why a waiver would need to be signed as no personal details need to be shared about my case for this review. When we hired Cory, he talked a big game. We really thought he would come through. He did come through to an extent but with CONSTANT pushing and updating of case details he should have already known. I could never get ahold of him and when I would call his office I was always told he was out of office and didn't know when he would be back in. I sent him numerous emails to which I got no reply back. There was a big meeting to which my lawyer needed to be involved and I sent him an email letting him know as well as phone calls. The day of the meeting I call his office and he has no idea what's going on and doesn't even know if he'll be able to make it to the meeting. So I prepared for him not to be there. Last minute he calls and says he'll be there. We had to have a personal meeting because Cory's communication skills were horrible, to which we were charged for that meeting. I tried disputing that charge by emails and calls and was ignored. Also when we would have personal update meetings regarding my case I had to update Cory on all the details over and over again. In the meeting he would act like he was paying attention but I always felt like he was looking through me when he would make eye contact. I never felt like an important client or like my case was important to him at all. He was supposed to also get an important piece of evidence for our case and always said he was working on getting it but he never followed through with it. The case was finally ready to be closed and the social worker tried contacting Cory multiple times to let him know which he received no response. I finally just contacted the social worker myself to find out how we can get the case closed and proceeded with that without Cory even though he was still my lawyer. The fastest response I have EVER gotten from Cory is when I decided to give a negative review. The positives are the case got closed. CPS doesn't like to mess with Cory because he's taken them to court before and destroyed them, just not for my case.
