I need an attorney for my divorce in 1995. Cary was a good listener and was ready to move things along with the opposing lawyer and my wife. What should have been quick and simple was dragged out due to wife's unrealistic expectations and desire to create dramatic pressure. Cary didn't let this tactic change our plan, nor lead to unnecessary and ongoing fees. He also encouraged me to have patience and wait it out. He believed in me and the facts. In the end, it worked out to my advantage. I trust in Cary and highly recommend a consultation with him in divorce and family matters.
In my experience with Cary Cliff, when you are a client of his, he will fight for you with drive and dedication! Not only that, he gets results that I didn't even hope could happen. He is discerning as well as a champion for your benefit and rights. He is caring and patient which was a most helpful experience when going through something as painful as a divorce. One of the most valuable ways that he protected me through my divorce process was his great attention to detail making sure I was covered on all sides before moving on to each next step in the process.
Cary helped me through an extremely complicated litigation with great success. He quickly learned all the details of my case, was well prepared and had a commanding presence in the courtroom. The only family lawyer I would recommend to friends and family.
I can’t say enough good things about Cary. I am not going to get to the specifics of my case, but I will say it had to do with false allegations and my daughter could have been seriously negatively affected if we lost the case, which we didn’t. Cary knowledge in family law is second to none and he is easy going lawyer who makes you feel very comfortable even though the stakes are very high. He is also very generous with his billing hours as he does a lot of work through texts and emails, therefore is able to work on other cases while he is sitting in court waiting for your case to be called. Other lawyers will bill for the full time they sit in the courtroom waiting for your case to be heard, but Cary only bills for the time he is actually working on the case. If you need a family lawyer, hire him. You will not be disappointed.
My husband and I wish we had been told about Mr. Cliff, 3 years ago. Mr. Cliff, was very knowledgeable and made us feel like he really understood Family Law. We, look forward to seeing him again in a few weeks.
I felt very comfortable with Mr. Cliff representing me. He was knowledgable and did a great job walking me through a stressful time of my life. I refer all of my clients to him.
Cary took on my divorce case. He made a difficult time in my life easier by being so knowledgeable. He is very professional and handled my case in a very timely fashion. He also took the time to explain each stage of the divorce process (i.e. what to expect, time table).
Mr.Cliff agreed to take my case. It was going to be difficult due to prior attorney's inability to handle the case. He worked very diligently to get this completed in a reasonable amount of time. I was kept informed and his staff responsive time was excellent. Very knowledgeable of Family Law and all updates pertaining to family law. The outcome was most favorable for me. Excellent Attorney.
I have known Cary Cliff for over 16 years. I first met him when I was a Guardian ad Litum and a member of the Citizens Foster Care Review Board. At the time, I had no need for a lawyer. But unfortunately, the time did come when I needed to fight for my right as a single mom to move from Florida to Tennessee, where my fiancee' resided. I had witnessed Cary in the courtroom on multiple occasions and was always impressed at how hard he fought for his clients (and I should say we were NOT always on the "same side of the fence" in certain cases!). I did not even think twice about who I wanted representing me when I needed someone! I did not need him again for 6 years, but when I did, he was incredibly supportive, and though it was just a phone call, he didn't even send me a bill! Sadly, over the last three years we have been in a nasty battle with my son's father. Cary has spent COUNTLESS hours on my case. More importantly though, he has spent sooo much time with ME ... listening, advising, and comforting this sometimes hysterical mother! He gave me his cell phone number and has always taken my calls (even the weekend ones!) One Saturday when I was especially upset he went to his office just to double check on something for me! I have ALWAYS felt that Cary was 100% on my side and available for me. On one occasion Amanda, his paralegal, called to set up a time for him to talk to me because he knew I was upset and needing reassurance (and he didn't even charge me for the phone call!) I wanted to give so much detail on this review because I think it's important when you're reviewing a professional who is as important as a family lawyer, to have an HONEST review. And this one is. There is nothing more important than when you're fighting for the safety and well-being of your children. I can say with 100% certainty that Cary will fight for his clients with all he's got.
Mr. Cliff and his staff were very professional and responsive. They had compassion for my situation as a victim of domestic violence, and helped me every step of the way through a nasty divorce/custody case. He advised me as to the best course of action and he and his staff gave me guidance and direction through what was without a doubt, the worst time of my life. Cary was always prepared for court and performed very well in presenting my case to the judge. My case was concluded without a trial, and Cary gave me good advise on my settlement options and what would be best for me and my children. I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone going through a difficult divorce or custody case.
