Divorce is scary. No one looks forward to contacting a law firm after realizing you need to get a divorce; however, my experience with Michael Clonts was one I am absolutely thankful for. Michael provided me with the best advice and guidance from our first consultation and throughout the whole process. I always felt protected and empowered knowing I had Owens & Perkins representing me. I am forever grateful to Michael for his hard work and delivering a positive outcome. Maritza

After proceeding with our paternity case for over a year and a half our attorney, Michael J. Clonts, provided not only excellent legal counsel but also substantial emotional support. Michael advised us at the beginning of our case that it would be very difficult to win. After weighing the pros and cons we decided to proceed. Throughout the case Michael provided his best legal insight and made space for us to make our best informed decisions. Michael consistently communicated with us and answered all of our questions. We are grateful for the positive outcome of our case and highly recommend Michael J. Clonts and Owens & Perkins, Attorneys at Law.

Michael was attentive, knowledgeable, and always assessable. He provided insight and helped formulate and execute a plan with some post divorce decree work I needed done.

Michaels ability to explain the law and the strategy we were going to employ keep me well informed. It was a high conflict divorce and I lived out of state, Michael kept me abreast of all new developments. I would recommend Mr Clonts for any and all your divorce needs. He was excellent! Also Jackie Gholston was valuable in helping to facilitate my case.
