    “To me he is Coach Claiborne, but others he wears many different hats. He is a son, a husband, a father, a lawyer, and much much more. Over the 25 years I’ve known Coach Claiborne I’ve seen him wear each of these titles with grace, dignity, and pride. I know he will embody those same qualities as judge.”

    “I first met Mr. Claiborne as a kid playing on his local softball & basketball teams. He has always been a man of few words but of great action. Whether saying a prayer for safe travels or congratulating me on my successes, he has always shown me kindness & generosity. Mr. Claiborne is also a fair and honest man whose actions speak to his integrity and his character.”
