      "I highly recommend Attorney Clay Dugas! I would hire him again and again."

      Attorney Clay Dugas did an outstanding job in every aspect of my case. I fired another attorney for poor representation... no communication. When I hired Attorney Dugas that was no longer a problem! I was very satisfied with him as well as his staff. They were wonderful! Very efficient as well as genuinely caring. When Attorney Dugas talked.. people listened.. I love that! He is very well respected in the legal community and that is really important. I was very pleased with my total recovery. I highly recommend Attorney Dugas! I would hire him again and again! He and his wife and staff were a joy to work with.

      "Attorney Dugas is a gifted, highly skilled experienced attorney."

      My wife and I were injured in an auto accident. As we are not experienced in legal matters, our concern and fear were that we would have no voice and the consequence would be we would be taken advantage of, not only of our health but also monetarily.
      After careful consideration, we chose the Dugas Law Firm to represent us. We are pleased to say we made the right choice. Attorney Clay Dugas became our voice, and what a voice he was. We also believe our fears would have been realized had it not been for him and his staff.
      Attorney Dugas is a gifted, highly skilled experienced attorney. He is also a compassionate, humble man, and genuinely cares for his client's health.
      His staff is professional and second to none.
      He secured us a settlement and words cannot express our appreciation to the Dugas Law Firm.

      "We can’t begin to thank you enough for your Christmas Eve visit. In one instant, our saving goals for half the year were met... I truly don’t have the proper words other than to say thank you for allowing me to bless my children richly this year."

      First and foremost, thank you so much for advocating so relentlessly and successfully for [client]. Your exasperating doggedness and stubbornness in working your cases is why I referred her to you in the first place. I knew no matter the result, she was in the best of hands. Secondly, the steaks were incredible. We made two meals out of them and it was wonderful to have a break from traditional holiday fare. Thirdly, we can’t begin to thank you enough for your Christmas Eve visit. In one instant, our saving goals for half the year were met. I think we are still in shock. I truly don’t have the proper words other than to say thank you for allowing me to bless my children richly this year. As parents, there is no greater gift.

      "After my surgery, Attorney Clay Dugas and his office were very supportive in helping me through it all. They took the time to keep me well informed on what was going on with my case. If anything were to happen again I know that I can count on him and his s"

      I was involved in an 18 wheeler accident in 2011. When this happened I did not know what to do. I was referred to Attorney Clay Dugas through a mutual friend and business associate of the family. Although his office is in Beaumont and I live in Houston that did not stop Attorney Dugas from taking the time to come to me in Houston. That showed my family and I that he cared. After my accident there was tons of physical therapy and mental anguish which eventually resulted into having surgery. After my surgery, Attorney Dugas and his office were very supportive in helping me through it all. They took the time to keep me well informed on what was going on with my case. If anything were to happen again I know that I can count on him and his staff to take care of business.

      "Mr. Dugas came to the hospital to open my case and talk about what happened in the moment of the accident... In the moment I needed help or had any concerns they were there for me instantly."

      Marcos contacted Mr. Dugas after I was in a bad car accident while I was taken to the hospital by air rescue. Mr. Dugas came to the hospital to open my case and talk about what happened in the moment of the accident. After I was released from the hospital I had to go to several doctors and they would let the paralegal April know so they could be in contact and get updates from them. In the moment I needed help or had any concerns they were there for me instantly. I thought it would take a long time for the case to get settled but they were able to I felt like, get it taken care of quickly. I would recommend them if anyone were to get into an accident like I was in.
