Great experience, I highly recommend Brian

Brian knew exactly how to handle the charges for my son. He quickly explained the options available, what the police, prosecutors and judges would look for, and laid out the available paths. Once we decided to move forward Brian was incredibly responsive, followed through on exactly what he said he... would do and kept in constant communication.

Ocean City Md traffic/ID citation

Contacted 3 lawyers to represent my daughter in an Ocean City Md traffic offense. I choose Mr.Clark and him firm based off the 1st contact I had with them( via phone ). When I called my return call from Mr.Clark was within minutes. He gave me alot of information about the citation and the options we ...could venture ( there was only 1 option with the other lawyers ) and they did not go over alot of the information that was provided by Mr.Clark. Please call Mr.Clark before you hire any attorney and hope you get the 1st contact character vide I got . Our case was heard in front of the judge and was exactly what we wanted and its due to his knowledge of the law and the options available . Thank You Mr.Clark A.S

FAKE ID CITATION

Brian helped my daughter with a citation she got trying to get in somewhere with her fake ID. This was scary for us since she’s never gotten in trouble before, we didn’t know what to do and even considered going without representation. We decided to get a lawyer and it was the best decision. Many kid...s went without representation and had a terrible outcome. We are very glad to have Brian he is helpful and a great person. Definitely recommend hiring him.

Under age alcohol citatation

Brian was excellent in getting our daughter’s senior week citation downgraded and ultimately expunged. Besides the cop not showing up in court to get this totally thrown out, Briant advised us and got her the best (minimal) ruling. Highly recommend him

Good attorney. Did exactly what he said he'd do. Very happy.

Everything as promised. Brian did a great job. He told us what would happen and how we should plea. We got a small fine. It could have been much worse. He also explained how he would be following up on filing for expungement in a matter of days. We are very glad that we hired him.
