Clayson is an excellent attorney for our small business. We're big enough to get into confusing legal situations, but too small to have a full-time person to handle HR, property transaction and general organization questions. Very grateful for the service!

I found Kim through a direct reference from design colleague and would recommend her just as strongly to any other small business or creative mind. She's very attentive to individual needs and is willing to think through fee structure and working relationship to suit the exact project needs. Her experience, interest, and insights are strong, and if she doesn't have the immediate answer to a unique question she knows exactly how to move the work forward to resolve and explore the issue. She's always been readily available, complete open in communication, and timely. Kim's personality is also down-to-earth, encouraging, calm, and strong. These are all attributes that seem perfect resonate with the energy that a small business needs. I'd recommend her highly over and over again.

Kim Clayson is a very knowledgeable attorney who works diligently and is always there to answer questions throughout the process. She has had to research many complicated issues for me. She takes the time to provide direction and explains at length what is happening and what to expect. I truly appreciate her counsel and advice.

First if all she makes you feel comfortable confident And safe. Second thing is that you don't have to ask Her about what's happening about your case because She is always updating you so your never wondering what's going on with my case she and you will be ahead of the game that's just her style. Basically you have a attorney that really fights for You from her hart , you felt like she was working to Win for you ! And the bonus is that she is also easy to talk to besides being very easy to look at ! Thank you Kimberly .
