• Experience matters. Attorney John Claypool represented me in my personal injury suit regarding a serious leg injury. We were not sure where to turn when the insurance company started calling. He walked us through the process and was very thorough and knowledgeable. His experience is unmatched. We would hire him again in a second if we needed an attorney in the future.

• Attorney John Claypool represented my personal injury case involving a motor vehicle accident, sustaining multiple and severe injuries. I am an engineer and try to figure things out on my own and naively and wrongly assumed I could represent myself. However, I realized [I] needed a strong lawyer as my case was clearly beyond my capability and expertise. I interviewed attorneys and am so happy I decided to work with Attorney Claypool. He provided thorough, terrific, and timely counsel throughout the process and took all the pressure off of me to allow me to focus on recovering, work, and life. He also places an emphasis on integrity which I highly value. My case lasted a long time and Attorney Claypool was right there with me until the close. He provided valuable counsel, highly respected my input and decisions along the way, and enabled a favorable outcome. I have recommended Mr. Claypool to others and, without reservation, recommend him here. If I were to need an attorney in the future, I would immediately look nowhere else but John Claypool.

• Attorney Claypool presented my personal injury suit regarding a car accident I was involved [in]. He was incredible to work with and I was shocked at the settlement amount. I’ve already recommended John to a co-worker who was recently involved in a serious accident. I would highly recommend Attorney Claypool if someone is considering hiring a personal injury attorney.
