For nearly three decades, I have worked hard on behalf of people throughout Southside Virginia and North Carolina who face criminal charges and traffic violations. After becoming a lawyer more than 30 years ago, I worked as a prosecutor in the Commonwealth for several years. This gave me valuable insight as to how the prosecution prepares cases and seeks to secure convictions of criminal suspects.

I received a ticket in VA on the way back to NC after celebrating my birthday with old friends. I decided to call Mr. Clay law firm after receiving over 20 offers. Mr. Clay answered the phone and explained the process very clearly. He even offered me a discount since it was my second ticket in over 40 years. I am so grateful for his help. Highly recommend his law firm with friendly staff.

Good service, nice people. I got a ticket in Virginia, and wasn’t going to fight it because I lived so far away, two calls to these guys and they said they’d take care of it and they did. 10/10 would recommend, really do appreciate it.

I had a traffic case and a week before the case I realized I wouldn’t be able to make it. I called this firm and they just asked a couple questions asked for my ticket. And took on the case. They emailed me the day of the case to let me know they were able to get it dismissed! Straight to the point. Everyone on the team was great to talk to Trey and Dawn. And I was able to talk to the lawyer Clinton and he answered some of my questions. Completely satisfied with the service. And very affordable to!!

Mr Clary returned a great result - "The speeding charge was reduced to defective equipment". His assistant Dawn was friendly, responsive and provided clear instructions. A happy out-of-state client.

Best money I ever spent. Received a ticket in VA during a holiday weekend and was stressing over having to deal with this from NJ. Did extensive research to find an attorney and am ever so grateful for finding Mr. Clary and his team. They represented me twice in court and got my reckless driving criminal charge down to a speeding violation. Dawn was very communicative in explaining the process to me over email and over the phone so THANK YOU! Happy to have this behind me.

I received a speeding ticket in VA back in December of 2020 while traveling home for Christmas. Since the town where I received the ticket is roughly 4 hours away from where I live, I didn’t want to make the journey for the court date but wanted to do everything I could to get the ticket dropped to improper equipment since this was my first ever ticket. I contacted Slayton & Clarey after reading multiple reviews stating how wonderful they were! It was a very smooth process sending the necessary documentation and receiving a prompt answer on the outcome of my case (dropped to improper equipment

Hey VA speeders! I live in NY and needed a local firm to handle my ticket. Mr Clary and staff were courteous, professional and efficient. They got my ticket reduced and all at a very reasonable cost. No BS and got the job done thus 5 stars.

Mr. Clary represented me for a traffic violation. I initially called the office, explained my situation to his assistant Dawn, and she requested some (easy to obtain) documentation. I paid a very reasonable fee, and Mr. Clary was able to get the charges reduced to a non-moving violation (no points). I was able to arrange this all of this remotely (I live out of state) and did not have to appear in court. Very pleased with the representation and outcome -- money well spent.

Mr.Clary had a quick and confident way to deal with my case. I spoke to him over phone only once but he assured me he would be able to bring my violation without points. His assistant Dawn was also helpful.

I found myself with a traffic ticket in Virginia and facing the possibility of a fine and points on my license. Further, I felt that the ticket, itself, was unfair for a number of reasons. Fortunately, I also found Mr. Clary. He talked through the situation out with me, offered helpful clarification and took responsibility for bringing this upsetting situation to a reasonable conclusion. I have just recieved notice that he was able to resolve the issue with the court in a very acceptable manner. I am very impressed with him and entirely satisfied with the outcome. I recommend Mr. Clary and

Very legit law firm. From the beginning the lawyer and front desk people were very prompt about how they are going to deal with my situation. The lawyer fee is $200 unlike other law firms asking $700-1000 just for doing the same work. I am totally satisfied with the lawyers work and the judgement is very favorable to me.

After posting my initial review of this law office I received an email from Mr. Clary and a phone call from his front office. I wanted to provide an update on their services and review of overall interaction.

Whereas, I was not please by the lack of involvement I had with this law office, I was satisfied with the outcome. Mr. Clary's services were the most reasonable in the Brunswick area. I was charged $200.00 for the representation of Mr. Clary on a reckless driving claim. Whereas, I did all the footwork to collect my driving records and other documents, Mr. Clary was able to show up to

I was charged with Reckless Driving for speeding in Brunswick County. Mr. Clary was the most expensive lawyer I contacted ($500 retainer), but he was also the most optimistic about reducing my sentence and during my initial consultation was extremely knowledgable and helpful.

Most importantly, he was able to reschedule my court date and achieve the most favorable sentencing of having the charge dismissed. I was told by both him and other lawyers that I was speeding above the threshold that is usually deemed forgivable, and I am therefore extremely happy with this outcome.

My only qualm with
