What can I say about Mike that hasn't been said already? Michael kept everything under control for me in a time that I felt the world was surly falling apart. I have never been in trouble before and I was already beating myself up pretty badly for letting something like this happen to me. He did not judge me or make me feel guilty. He felt like a friend and ally that I could count on. He took the weight off of my shoulders. He did everything he could do for my case to help me get the best results possible. He kept me informed, was straight forward and honest, and kept the tasks minimal for me. He made an extremely stressful situation seem simple and quick. One of the things I liked best about him was that he was not pushy, he was friendly, and most importantly, he was himself. He's a different kind of lawyer than most and it will not go unappreciated. I hope you dont' have to go through any situation like I did, but in case you do, I would say Mike is the one you can count on! He reads in between the lines to find anything that will help your case. He is knowledgable and knows the system, judges, and prosecutors. I couldn't be happier about how my case turned out. Thank you Michael!

Michael Clark is a very professional lawyer, knowledgeable in his area of expertise, and is cooperative with his clients. He handled my specific case with complete care and kept my family and I "in the loop" at all times. His instructions to us were very clear and easy to understand, which made the difficult predicament I was in seem painless as he did all of the work. What seemed an almost impossible case originally, he was able to get the case dismissed from court, allowing me to continue on with my life; giving me a second chance practically. I would recommend Michael Clark to anyone who finds themselves in a seemlingly tight situation with the law. He will take total care of you and treat you like family.

Michael Clark performed well and exceeded my expectations. He was very knowledgable and his experience was appearent from start to finish. He provided honest and realistic reccomendations. He and his staff were always available and they communicated well through email, telephonically and in person. He worked diligently and I received a favorable outcome.

My wife and I hired Mr. Clark to assist our daughter with a DV/assault case. I had never worked with a lawyer before and did not know what to expect. He was recommended by a local Bail Bondsman - that was some of the best advice I have received in years. While still maintaining the client/attorney confidendiality, he kept my wife and I informed about the processes much as he could. We were in court twice and both times he was cleary the best lawyer in the room. His expertise, confidence and experience clearly shined. I almost felt sorry for some of the other people who had someone else representing them - the difference is the way he handled himself in court and worked with the judge was cleary evident. In the end, the charges were dismissed - and it is all thanks to Michael. Without him, this would not have happened. Absolutely worth the money. If I ever need an attorney in this area again, I already know the phone number to call.

Needed to find a good yet affordable lawyer for my teenage son who had been cited for theft (shoplifting). Had really no idea where to turn as we had never needed to hire a lawyer for any reason before. After finding this Avvo advice site and reading the reviews of Michael Clark we decided to give him a try and now feel very lucky that we did. Mr. Clark was very approachable, friendly, and very sincere when listening to our concerns about how a theft charge on our sons record could do permanent harm to our sons future. Mike informed us of our options on going forward and what he hoped that he could accomplish for us. He also let us know that there were no certainties in going forward....let's just say he didn't pull any punches and was perfectly honest about the possible downside, something that we totally appreciated. Once the decision was made to retain Michael Clark as our lawyer he and his staff took over from there. All we had to do was provide him with the required information and they handled the rest keeping us totally informed thru-out the process. The final outcome was outstanding, the Theft charge was dismissed and our son received probation for the MIP charge. Believe it or not we actually believe the lessons learned by our son with this experience may turn out to be invaluable in the long run. We could not be happier with the results! Michael Clark gave our son a second chance at life and the rewarding future that he deserves. We cannot thank you enough Mike!

February 2000 was the first time I was represented Michael Clark; I was a minor at the time and facing some very hefty charges. The most important thing to me then was I didn't want to feel alone, Mike was amazing I could call him when ever I wanted and he would talk to me and clam my nerves. I was incarcerated for 2½ months while we went thru the process and he fought for me like a pro, soon I was released with a 1 year deferred disposition. Everything within that year went well and my charges were dropped thanks to Mike.
A couple years later I had gotten a ticket for driving on a suspended which I thought was weird because I didn't even have a license, I felt that I needed legal representation once again I called Mike to get me out of this situation. My court date was set for sometime in December I don't recall the exact date but it was close to Christmas, Mike came in we were in the court room for maybe 10mins my ticket was dropped from driving on suspended to a lesser charge. No time out for this girl and a very small fine I had to pay once again Mike saved the day.
And the last time I had to call upon my favorite Legal Eagle I was in a bit of hot water for protesting outside my old work and I received a restraining order. Mike took care of that first shot NOT GUILTY.
Anytime anyone I know needs a lawyer I always always say Michael Clark hands down the best of the best. I never need to flip thru the phone book or ask a friend "hey do you know a good lawyer" Because I know the best lawyer.

At a difficult, insecure time, Mr. Clark took charge and walked me through the whole process. He was very knowledgeable of the law and the system, certainly knew what he was doing. He was open and frank about possibilities, yet compassionate and I did not feel judged at all. He kept me informed and I felt secure and safe knowing with him handling my case, the best outcome was on the horizon....and sure enough, the best I could have hoped for was my end result! Thank you Mr. Clark! When it says above that I worked with more than 10 attorneys, not because of my personal life :), but because I am a paralegal and work in law firms and I know there are a lot of attorneys out there that I would never recommend! I highly recommend Mr. Clark.

Michael was knowledgeable, organized, professional, and calm during a stressful time for me. My case was a difficult one and he obtained the best possible outcome.

It came about that I was facing charges by the state on a serious felony allegation. In the event of conviction, I would face damaging repercussions to my career and future prosperity. I hired Mike to defend not only the charge that was being leveled at me, but also with reducing the consequential aftermath. I am pleased to say, Mike came through on every account. I was very pleased with not only the result, but the details and conditions Mike convinced the court to commit to on my behalf.
Michael Clark is an extraordinary criminal defense attorney that conveys sympathy and devotion towards his clients, and is well respected by his peers. I wouldn’t seek counsel from any other attorney.

I highly recommend Michael Clark. He is very knowledgeable and reliable. I felt very confident with him as my lawyer especially since, while I was speaking with potential lawyers to hire for my case, a competitor of his spoke very highly of him. This recommendation solidified my decision to hire Mr. Clark. Due to his efforts, my case turned out much better than I had initially anticipated. I was very pleased with the outcome.

Very honest and understanding lawyer. He told me exactly what to expect and I was pleased with the outcome of my situation. Very nice guy as well!
Posted by Jeremiah, a Violent Crime client, Flag
Mr. Clark is a "cut to the chase" kind of guy. I like people to be laid back and he adapted to my personality pretty well. If I had to chose one word to describe his presence, it would have to be a professional. I have had other attorneys prior but he is second to none. Hopefully, I won't need another representer. But, if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to give him a call. He made what seemed like "the end of the world" turn out to be just another pit stop on my road to success.

Michael was a great help to me. With all the stress and anxiety he managed to keep me relaxed through my ordeal. His work kept my legal problems to a minimum. Friendly, respectful and courteous are just some of the qualities I experienced. Thank you again, Michael. I would recommend you in a second!

Micheal S Clark was a very friendly, professional and down to earth attorney. He represented me in a DUI and successfully got my charges knocked down to the lowest extent. I am very happy that I choose him to represent me for I was so nervous in the beginning. Im grateful for what he has done and highly recommend him.

We hired Mike Clark to represent our son that had just turned 18 and had no idea what he had done wrong. Mike was quick to sit our whole family down and explain what was happening and what to expect. During court, Mike kept his promise to us. Our son left there with a new lease on life and a understanding that he needed to be more careful with everyday life. If i am ever asked for the help of finding anyone a good attorney, It will always be the name of Mike clark that will come from my mouth.

I found Michael Clark on a search for a local DUI lawyer. He coached me all the way through my conviction. With his connections to other attorneys and his knowledge of the court system, Michael was able to bring my charges down and I received the lowest penalties for my actions. I related to Michael well and he was optimistic yet realistic throughout the entire situation.
Posted by a DUI client, Flag
Outstanding. This was the most difficult experience I remember. After 36 years of driving, nothing compares to a DUI. Michael made this at least bearable for me. He helped resolve my case with minimal impact to my life. He even recovered some personal property that was confiscated by the State Police. He was referred by my corporate attorney, whom I also trust, and now I see why.

I had the pleasure to hire/work with this lawyer 2 years ago. He helped me tremendously and I highly recommend him to anyone who need legal representation.

Many years ago, I made the mistake of telling my (ex)wife I was going to divorce her, a few hours later I was surrounded by cops and taken to jail on false charges of assault with a firearm. After three grueling months of court proceedings, jail and a four day trial, I was acquitted thanks to Mike, who believed me when hardly anyone else would.. Mike Clark is a very competent attorney and is not intimidated by the prosecutors or the judge or anyone else. Mike will stand up for your rights when no one else will. Today I'm a successful businessman and even now, I can't thank him enough. I highly recommend Mike Clark!

Mike is incredibly helpfull and knowledgeable in my case. He responded in a very timely fashion and got right to the point. He even helped my shift my court dates around to allow me to still go on a trip I had been planning for months prior. He was also able to reduce my sentence to something much less severe than a DUI. I was very impressed with Mike both as an attorney and as a person. He is a great guy to represent you or to just drop in and talk. I would HIGHLY recommend him.

Michael Clark's professionalism and knowledge of the law is very impressive. He was always available to go over any questions I had. He went above and beyond what I had expected, explaining the available options clearly, in depth and how they would effect my future. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. His fees are very reasonable and I highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a great lawyer.

Mr Clark, was and excellent attorney...He was up front and told me where I stand. Thats what you need.

Michael first represented me in a DUI case in 1994. Michael is a great trial lawyer and we won the case. Michael did his homework and is very knowledgeable of the laws. The last time I required his services in 2006, he was very helpful and was alway there to return my calls. He was able to help with the lengthy paperwork needed for a deferred prosecution. Michael was always able to answer all my questions and help me know all I needed to know for my cases.

Represented me well, and while I wasn't quite satisfied with the outcome of my case, the alternative would have been much, much worse. 5/5 would pay for him again.
Posted by Marissa, a DUI client, Flag
After my DUI charges it was very likely that my license was going to be suspended. However Mr. Clark argued my case in such a way that resulted in my favor for the DOL trial, and a dismissal of the criminal case. Now i get to keep my license and my good record.

Mike is a great attorney and a great guy! My family couldn't imagine having to navigate the legal system without Mike's expertise and assistance.
Our teenage son was cited with an MIP and Mike was not only very knowledgeable, professional and responsive, but he made our son and family feel very comfortable and confident that we were getting the best legal advice…and consequently the best result. Mike kept us up to date on the case and any action that was needed or was going to occur.
We are very pleased with Mike and his service and would recommend him first to anyone in need any legal assistance.

Michael was referred to me and I couldn't have been more pleased with his services. I never had to worry about a thing and was very happy with the outcome.

Mike Clark represented my teenager in a scrape in Tacoma. Mike knew his way around. He got to the point. He stayed with the matter and he delivered a great result for a very reasonable fee. In addition, he gave my child great advice and insight into the process and his alternatives. Mike is the whole package if you need criminal defense representation in the Tacoma/Seattle area.
Posted by Andrew, a Domestic Violence client, Flag
I highly recommend Michael. He is very dedicated in researching the evidence to determine if it truly supports the charges filed. He was always available to answer questions either in person, e-mail or by phone. He will always be my first choice if I need an attorney in the future

Mike helped me minimize the consequences of a very big, very stupid mistake that I made. I've known him for some time and even before he represented me I have referred quite a few people to Krupa & Clark...I've never had one come back with anything but good news.
Posted by Janice, a Criminal Defense client, Flag
I recommend Michael highly, He is awesome and will call you back the same day even if after hours. He has offered me assistance in several situations even if it wasn't pertaining to his area of expertise.
He is a problem-solver and will go out of his way to assist in any way that he can. If I need an attorney in the future, I will surely make Michael my first choice or Krupa/Clark.

I would highly recommend Mr. Clark. He was extemely knowledgeable, professional, and to-the-point. He always explained matters in a way that made sense in a very confusing process. He was very supportive, and helpful and , I believe, gave me the best outcome in a difficult situation. Along with his partner, Mr Krupa, I believe Mike to be an excellent choice for representation.
Posted by a Domestic Violence client, Flag
Michael is very much involved and readily available to help see you through your situation. He always made himself available for insight and questions. In my opinion his knowledge was superior to the PA office. He would be an excellent choice for a criminal case. He is very down to earth and sensitive to his clients needs and concerns. He is a top notch Pierce County Attorney.

I would recommend Michael to any of my friends who would need his services. Michael helped me understand the criminal court system. I appreciated the time he took to explain how the process worked even when it took more than once for me to finally understand.
Michael, always answered my phone calls quickly. He is an expert in criminal law matters. I also found very comforting his knowlege of the Pierce County Court and the staff who worked it in.
He always kept me informed and made sure I knew what options were available to me. I am very gald to have him as my attornery.
