DWI Case

March 2020, I got myself in a sticky situation with law in which I was arrested for DWI. I needed a lawyer quick and Mr. Clarke was referred by a fellow family member. A day or so after the incident I spoke with Mr. Clarke and his team. They gave me the rundown of what kind of service they provide... their clients, explained the charges/various outcomes, and iterated how they work hard to get their clients the most favorable outcome. After the initial interview Mr. Clarke agreed to take my case. During the course of the my case, Mr. Clarke and his dynamic team kept me informed about upcoming court dates as well provided detail reports of things discussed after each court proceeding. Mr. Clarke and his team went above and beyond by writing a character letter on my behalf to the DA. He also attended my IA interview to make sure I did not incriminate myself. Mr. Clarke was well prepared (ready for war) and argued beautifully. A Non Pros was given. All in all The Clarke team was very professional, had dynamic team work, and they truly have their clients best interest at heart. *FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING PRAYER CHANGES THINGS AND HE WORKED A MIRCALE FOR ME. I TRULY SAW THE GLORY OF GOD DECEMBER 2020*

Mr. Clarke and his staff were very professional and understanding. They kept me up to date on my case. They made sure I understood everything every step of the way.

Mr. Clarke

I’m from North Carolina and got into some trouble with DC gun laws and Mr. Clarke came highly recommended and he was better than spoke upon. He not only got the charges dropped but he worked with me and was available anytime of the day or night.

Kevin Sneed found not guilty by all 12 jurors

My son Kevin Sneed was brutally beaten by Prince George's County MD. police and charged with 1st degree attempted murder on an officer along with 14 more charges. For 2 years my son and I have been fighting a merritless case. Kevin had 3 public defenders and 1 paid attorney. Kevin fired all of them a...nd retained Andrew Clark. Andrew was on the case for only 2 months and got my son acquitted when the judge and prosecutor was working against him. Andrew's dedication to Kevin's case made me feel like Kevin case was his only case. To find out this man had other clients blew my mind. Andrew gave a Stella performance throughout the whole trial especially in his closing argument. It was the talk of the courthouse. But wait there's more, Andrew is a D.C. Attorney who pro hac his appearance into my son's Prince George's County MD. case and beat the case. My son Kevin Sneed's case set precedent in Prince George's County MD. all because of Andrew Clark amazing legal defense. He saved my son's life from an unjust system. THANK YOU ANDREW, YOU GAVE KEVIN A NEW BEGINNING AND FOR THAT I WILL ALWAYS SPEAK YOUR NAME. For all who view this, if you are looking for a great Attorney, look no further because Andrew Clark truly cares about his clients. Thanks Andrew, I got my so back. Kema Harris
