Client

I hired Cherese immediately following our consultation to represent me in my child custody and visitation case. And within hours of having hired her, I had to immediately call on her support. She was awesome in providing me direction in how to capture the incident that was violating my visitation ord...er. That was the first of many, outstanding and professional interventions she provided in defense of my parental rights for the next months. Her firm partners and team did not skip a beat in representing me as a team when she took maternity leave. And while many scheduling issues and conflicts occurred out of control and due to COVID-19, when we finally received our opportunity in court, Cherese was beyond outstanding, she was incredible! Her preparation and representation resulted in what I can only describe as my prayers being answered. She works within your budget with understanding, but for my outcome they have been worth every penny. She told me from the beginning that custody cases are marathons and not sprints, and I had amazing long distance coach in Cherese.

I am so thankful to have had Cherese's counsel

Cherese was able to help me navigate a family court proceeding that resulted in a dismissal of a spurious claim against me. I am very thankful to have been recommended to Cherese by a friend and would recommend her to anyone dealing with a family law matter. She is a smart, savvy professional with a ...heart who will fight for you. Thank you to Cherese and the team at Clark, Lowery & Lumpkin!

Superior, Highly-Knowledgeable, Caring, and Respectable Lawyer

I retained Cherese on two occasions. First for a divorce that started as a non-contested divorce and turned into a contested divorce. I then had to retain her for a contempt filing post divorce. Cherese is highly knowledge in the area of family law, is highly respected amongst other peers/counselo...rs, belongs to a stellar law practice with highly professional support staff, and beyond all of this is relatable. She first consulted with me regarding my case with such concern and understanding I felt immediately at ease. She has the confidence and professional experience to handle any type of obstacle that is thrown her way and she does it with such grace and class. Going through the divorce process when children are involved is a highly emotional process. Having Cherese represent me was the one thing that I felt I could control. She was able to calm my fears and helped me to rest easy knowing that my case and future of my children's well being was being treated with urgency, respect, and high regards to the law. She is a superior lawyer and exceeded my expectations. She fought for me when I couldn't speak and for my children's future by securing financial/equitable results in the final decree that my children will ultimately benefit from in the years to come.

Overcoming Challenges the Right Way

I had the honor of having one of the most passionate, strategic, and knowledgeable attorneys in the state of Georgia represent me. Mrs. Cherese Clark-Wilson came to me through a recommendation of a friend to another friend. The very first conversation I had with her was so impressive; I hired her ...on the spot! One week later, we entered the court for a hearing. When I say she knocked this hearing out of the park, SHE did just that! Ms. Clark-Wilson was very professional, methodical, and strategic every step of the way. She was able to help me through some of the most stressful times throughout the process. There were times I just wanted to throw in the towel. Some of the people in my close circle tried to discourage me and begged me to give up. Many of them told me that it is impossible for a father to get primary custody of his child in any court. Each hurdle we ran into, Mrs. Clark-Wilson came with reasonable practical solutions. She remained confident and kept me informed along the way. Well, I am happy my attorney can help the impossible to happen! Keeping Mrs. Clark-Wilson and her law firm working on my behalf was one of the best things that happened on this journey. Almost 4 years to the day I hired her, I was finally awarded physical custody of my daughter. It was definite not a sprint, it was a triathlon. If you need an attorney that can go the distance and get the best results through performing over and beyond, she’s the ONE! She is fair and has an affection for justice. Thanks to Mrs. Cherese Clark-Wilson and the entire Clark Lowery & Lumpkin team for representing me so well.

Very impressed with Cherese Clark

I have the pleasure of working with Cherese for my active Custody and Legitamation case. Cherese is an efficient and down right awesome attorney. She works very hard to understand the details of her case and explains everything in layman terms to help her client understand the intricacies of family l...aw. Something I value greatly is the fact that she takes a pragmatic approach to law and don't over complicate things unnecessarily. In addition to being a beast in court and knowledgeable, she also genuinely cares how her client is handling the case emotionally during the trial, before and after. Although my case is still active I have a peace of mind knowing that Cherese is more than capable of supporting and representing me moving forward.
