Cherese Clark

Very thorough, direct, accessible, and professional. Referred by a respected colleague, Ms. Clark and her team provided clear/ accurate information while providing excellent service regarding the process in what would be a difficult time for any family. Would highly recommend her and her team.

Attorney Clark Saved The Day!!!

With a system saturated with Lawyers you take your chances choosing a lawyer. This is why reviews and referrals are so important. After having a horrible encounter with a lawyer who did nothing for me and my girls except make the situation worse. My girls and I were blessed to be referred to A...ttorney Clark. She entered into my case in a uphill battle because of the mess my previous lawyer left me in. She reviewed my case and offered words of encouragement. She said she believed in my case and she would see it through. At that time I already spent money on my previous lawyer, and was scared and afraid. As I write this review I think about how low the opposing parties were willing to take the case. Atty. Clark always handled herself in a classy professional manner. She was factual and extremely knowledgeable. In the courtroom she was a force to be reckoned with. When I say she knew her stuff.. SHE KNEW HER STUFF!!!! She was able to pull the truth out of anyone on the stand. No matter what...... She always remained professional. Our court case had many twist a turns but having Attorney Clark by my side gave me piece of mind. In the end not only did she successful present our case, I was awarded over $80,000 in back support. When you enter into the courtroom make sure you have the support you need. Do your research!!! Atty Clark will not let your down. I totally understand why she was voted one of Atlanta's Super Lawyers!! She saved my day!!! =-) She was our Super Hero in the courtroom. The entire staff at her law firm is awesome! Great big THANK YOU to Atty Naomi and Marlene!!

Outstanding

I have been in and out of the court system for the last 4 years of my life. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a corrupt group of officers of the court. Where a court appointed therapist & GAL took the law into their own hands. Not only did they purposefully lie in court but also behaved in an unprofess...ional and unethical manner. Cherese was a fearless attorney, who fought from the get go. She studied the case and made arguments as well as made it known to the Judge, when the GAL was signaling opposing council and prompting from the jury bench. Cherese was my 4th attorney and by this point I was well versed with how the legal system worked and what it is I wanted in an attorney. I was looking for a pitbull, unafraid to fight for what her client believes in. Ready to expose the lies and quick in her cross examination. I wanted an attorney who would unnerve any witness from the opposing side and expose the true colors of these witnesses. Having spent so many years in and out of court, I can tell very few attorneys would make use of transcripts and purger witnesses or remind the court of previous statements. Every penny I used on those transcripts were worth it under Cherese. Not only is she a pitbull in the court room, but she has a heart and truly feels for her clients. My case finally settled out of court, however, if I did ended up going for a 3 day trial, Cherese is who I would have wanted fighting for my children's and my rights. I wish I had met Cherese 4 years ago when I first filed for divorce, as I believe I would have avoided all these years of being in and out of the court. She is young, vibrant and has a mouth on her. Having also been a criminal attorney, she is quick on her feet. She is exactly the type of attorney you can want on your side. It has been a pleasure getting to know her and recommend her to anyone going through any type of family law disputes.

Professional with a heart

After years of separation, it was finally time to put pen to paper and get started with my divorce. I sat down with Cherese and literally put my life in her hands as I didn't have the first clue about where to start. Before she discussed the process or the fees or anything else, she asked "how are y...ou feeling? Are you comfortable with this decision?" WOW!!! I knew then, that I had chosen the right person to help me through this difficult time. Every step of the way, Cherese worked not only to get me EVERYTHING that I wanted, but she made sure that I was informed of every step and every possible outcome. She was professional, efficient, and I felt like she really cared about me. At the end of the process I was completely comfortable with the resolution and I was confident that I had the best attorney in my corner because I didn't have a single lingering question and I got everything that I wanted with little to no stress. She made the process quick and hassle free and she did it with a smile. I would recommend her for anyone that needs someone to hold their hand through the divorce process and needs that extra level of care and sincerity through a difficult moment in life. Thank you Cherese...for everything.

Naomi and Cherese

I had Cherese and Naomi for my child custody case. They held my hand through the hold thing. They ensured me of the good, bad, and ugly that could happen during this case. It was not a good time for me and they allowed me to vent, cry, and rejoice during it all. These ladies are sure to support y...ou and get you through it.
