I began my career as an attorney in 2005 with the Law Office of the Broward County Public Defender. For the next several years I defended those accused of committing crimes. While employed as an Assistant Public Defender, I tried over 50 jury trials to completion.
Prior to becoming an Assistant Public Defender, I graduated from Florida State University. While at F.S.U., I was a member of the Florida State cheerleading squad.
Following my graduation from F.S.U., I pursued a law degree from Nova Southeastern University. After years of litigation at the Public Defender's Office, I was awarded a full scholarship to Gerry Spence's intensive Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming. Studying under Gerry Spence and his team was a pleasure and as a result I became well versed in defending clients against corporate and government oppression.
In 2011, I joined Michael A. Gottlieb, P.A., as an associate lawyer. While working in conjunction with Mr. Gottlieb, we have enjoyed numerous successes in formulating motions and winning strategies to help win suppressions and dismissals in State and Federal Court.

In 2018 I was awarded "Top Lawyers 2018" in Attorney At Law Magazine.

This man did everything he said he would do from the minute we hired him. Clark is a stand up guy and I am very fortunate to have been referred to him via a friend. Despite the chaos of Corvid 19 and the impact it had and continues to have on the judicial system and lack of timely court proceedings C...

I had never been in trouble before so having an unders...

Clark is hands down one of the best lawyers you could have represent you. Not only was he able to get my charge reduced. He was then also able to help me with a hiccup right at the end of my probation term. Throughout the whole process he was always just a call or text away whenever needed. I would h...
