This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Dr. Karen Butler

Troy was extremely helpful with my case. He communicates very well and is very intelligent. He was available whenever I needed to get a hold of him, and was also very kind. He worked very hard to obtain positive results in my case. I would highly recommend his services.

Sight for sore eyes

The only time I expected to hire a lawyer is when it came time to writing up a contract for a small business. Having to hire one for defense was the last thing on my mind especially how rough a year is has already been. Since the beginning, communication with Troy has been clear, straight forwar...d, and was not sugarcoated. He is well versed in law and will thoroughly go over the details of your circumstances. Troy has your back until the end and will take all the steps to ensure the best results that leaves everyone happy

Amazing lawyer!

We hired Troy during a very difficult time in our life. He was so amazing. He worked diligently on our behalf and the results was so much better than we ever expected. He is a compassionate, honest, hardworking attorney who goes above and beyond for his clients.

Excellent guidance and response

I contacted Troy for guidance and needed a quick turn around. He provided sound advice and I was able to move forward with the transaction in just a few days. Troy walked me through my options and I felt like I had a true partner. I highly recommend!

Great outcome

Hired Troy when our son met with some legal issues. He walked us through everything that was going to happen, guided us on what we needed to do on our end, stayed in constant communication, and ended up with a great outcome which he came and delivered in person. Would definitely recommend.

"Troy Clark is an experienced lawyer with the skill and motivation to provide top-notch service to his clients. He is well respected as a specialist in federal criminal defense and healthcare defense. Trustworthy and diligent, he is an excellent attorney who will provide outstanding results in his cases. I and many others have the utmost confidence in his abilities as an advocate and legal counsel."

Federal crime lawyer | Aug 16

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Troy is tops in my book and it is easy to endorse someone who was a challenging a foe in Federal Court and a reliable counsel and friend now in private practice. Troy is a model lawyer (not just cause he is good looking). His education and work experience prepared him to aggressively advocate at high levels for sophisticated clients. He has a chess-master's mind for problem solving and the charisma of a bard in the area. I deeply enjoy my time with and around him, and look forward to working WITH him from this point forward. I am glad he left the US Govt, but that is super selfish of me since. Call Troy if someone gave you his name. They gave it to you for a reason."

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 23

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I tried a federal court jury trial against Troy, and found him to be very knowledgeable as to the nuances of federal criminal law, and he was very comfortable and effective in the courtroom. I would not hesitate to refer a client with a criminal charge to him. In addition, he works in his firm with three other highly experienced former assistant U. S. attorneys, and this enhances his ability to provide effective representation."

"Troy knows the law and is exceedingly capable of applying the law to the facts of the case. He is approachable and respected by colleagues even when on the other side of a case. Most importantly, he knows how to win cases."

Relationship: Co-worker

"I first worked with Troy when we were both prosecutors at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Georgia. Then I litigated against him when I was in private practice and he was still a prosecutor. Now he is my law partner. Troy is an excellent attorney."

Federal crime lawyer | May 20

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Troy is an excellent trial lawyer with years of experience prosecuting complex federal cases. Now that he's in private practice, he's an excellent choice, particularly for "white collar" federal criminal defense. He's honest and trustworthy, and you'll get a great defense if you hire him."

Federal crime lawyer | Jan 23

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Troy is a top-notch trial lawyer in any forum, most pointedly in navigating all stages of Federal trials and investigative proceedings--where procedural nuances and some Districts' local rules make someone of Troy's caliber, specialized experience, and expertise indispensable. Troy has an impressive track record of proven success in white collar criminal proceedings and public corruption cases. Troy has proven that his depth of understanding enables him to stand his ground for his clients more effectively than would any bravado or tough talk about aggressive representation. His approach has soundly prevailed over aggressive litigation tactics at all stages of litigation. His pleasant, professional demeanor enables him to not only persuade juries, but also maintain high rapport with his opposing counsel that is essential to most favorable resolution at early stages. He has clearly demonstrated the judgment to fit the right approach to each case."
