This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellence in connecting with his clients commensurate with his excellent service!

Chris Clark has the unique ability to take the complex components of patent and trademark law and relay the facts in an "easy-to-digest" manner. Chris' skill at using current trends and technology in communicating with his clients, keeping them informed of the processes associated with securing a tra...demark or patent, as well as the progress of their application, make conducting business with him a welcome thing. I certainly recommend him for your legal needs in his areas of expertise.

Chris Clark's Review

Chris Clark has helped me view some sides of my business in terms of legality and what I needed in order for me to run properly. He has done work for me from creating the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for my app, created my Independent Contractor Agreements for my employees, and helped my file ...my trademark I would recommend his expertise because he is very knowledgeable and can deliver

More than just an attorney

Chris Clark was referred to me from a very trustworthy and nationally known businessman. He has been more than an attorney to me as an inventor/entrepreneur and has become a trusted business adviser. In the past, I've experienced less than acceptable service from lawyers, but Chris is different, kn...owledgeable and very attentive. His response time is almost immediate which has been critically important for a few of my business situations. I've also appreciated his calm, respectful, yet firm approach to difficult situations. Thank you Chris for being my confidante and attorney!

Smart, practical and trustworthy counsel

Chris has been representing me and my small business for the past five years. I have corporate and intellectual property issues that arise from time to time, and it is a pleasure working with him on these issues. He is probably one of the smartest guys I know (I'm a lawyer too, as are most of my cl...ients/colleagues), yet very practical in his approach to problem solving. He provides me with options, but is not afraid to give an opinion when asked. I feel like we are collaborators. Moreover, he is eminently trustworthy. If he says he will do something, he does it and then reports back on status.
