Michael Emory Clark's Peer Endorsements

I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Michael Clark since we were Assistant United States Attorneys in Texas, prosecuting S&L fraud. Back then I found Michael to be a thoughtful, ethical and highly able white collar prosecutor. In the past 10 years, I have known Michael as a fellow white collar criminal defense attorney. He is based in Houston and I am in DC. Michael is almost always the first white collar attorney I refer people to in the Houston area. He is exceptionally bright, hard-working, and detail oriented. His up-to-date knowledge of health care fraud regulations and their interplay with possible federal crimes is unsurpassed. Of equal importance, Michael is tough but professional and even-tempered. This serves his clients well, whether he is representing them in front of juries or negotiating on their behalf with government officials. In short, I recommend Michael for white collar representation, including securities and health care regulatory matters, without hesitation.

I endorse this lawyer's work. Mike Clark is an outstanding criminal defense attorney. Prior to entering private practice, Mike served as Chief of the Criminal Division for the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Texas. He is respected by both prosecutors and the judiciary. Finally, he is a true gentleman. You would be hard-pressed to find a better attorney to work with.

Michael is smart lawyer who pays attention to the details and is able to advocate for his clients effectively. I have worked with Michael on legal matters and found his approach to a case to be professional and effective. I have also worked with Michael on some professional publications and found Michael to be detailed and enthusiastic to the process.

Michael Clark is as quality a lawyer as there is for handling the most complex and sensitive of matters. I have in the past, and will continue in the future, to call on his expertise. His years as a prosecutor and tremendous scholarly record makes him a "go-to" lawyer to develop and implement effective strategies in any investigative scenario.

I endorse this lawyer's work. I know Mike primarily through American Bar Association activities. For approximatley the last three years, Mike has served as Chair of the ABA's Section of Business Law's White Collar Crime Subcommittee. In that capacity, Mike has moderated a number of panel discussions concerning emerging business crimes issues. He has also regularly written articles in the business crimes and health law practice areas, which I have reviewed. He has successfully handled a number of significant cases. I know Mike to be a very bright, conscientious, and well-regarded lawyer. He is a practical problem solver. In my view, he is the type of person whom you would want if faced with a significant legal issue. I don't think Mike does anything on a "9 to 5" basis. He seems to envelope himself completely in the issues that his clients face until they are resolved in the best manner possible.

Mike has an outstanding reputation in the legal community. I have witnessed Mike's devotion to his clients, and his immense dedication to bar and civic service. He is extremely hard working and a true leader in our profession.

I endorse this lawyer's work. Michael is a highly skilled and experienced trial attorney who works well in the framework of both pre-indictment and pre-trial white collar criminal proceedings. In the matter through which we met, he worked through more than four years and multiple investigative and prosecutorial contexts to achieve an outstanding, non-criminal disposition for his client. He also has particular strengths in legal analysis and brief-writing that were important components of his contributions to our successful joint defense effort.

I endorse this lawyer's work. Mike is an AV-rated attorney who has written extensively and practiced in this field, and is board certified.
