Blair Hansen Clarke

It's good to know there are still GOOD GUYS out there! Let me first say I didn't hire Blair Clarke because he gave me the information I needed over the phone. In researching attorneys on the phone, I felt rushed to spit out my question before I felt like the meter was running. Blair patiently listene...d, asked questions, was quickly able to assess my situation and took the time to listen and provide his expert advice. Within the space of a ten minute relationship Blair managed to show professionalism, empathy and expert advice to a non-client. He really showed that he’s the right person for me!

Out on my boat last Memorial Day weekend, I was stopped for what was called a “routine safety inspection”. During the inspection, the officer asked if I had anything alcoholic to drink today. I replied yes. Having only had one drink, I was comfortable that he would finish his inspection and we would ...continue on with our day on the water. Instead, he tied my boat up to his and requested that I come over to his boat for a field sobriety test. After I was in the boat, he untied my boat stating that the water was too rough to leave the boats tied together. He proceeded with the test, which he said that I failed. I was handcuffed and taken to a nearby boat ramp where they had a mobile trailer set up for administering breathalyzer tests - which I refused. I was charged with BUI, taken to jail and released about ten hours later. Fast forward to Hebert and Associates: Blair Clarke took my case and fought it with confidence. His knowledge of the law was apparent and reassuring. The fact that the water was too rough to leave the boats tied together, but okay enough for me to take the field sobriety test was contradictory. A second sobriety test was never given once on land. In the end, Blair had my BUI case dropped - I paid a ticket for my expired flares and am enjoying the sunshine once again!

Blair has been such an asset to my family; mainly my son. He has dedicated himself to protecting and defending others. I felt the need to commend him on his sincerity, devotion and belief in our young people. Hebert and Associates, in my opinion, is the most outstanding law firm in Pinellas County. W...hen I needed someone the most, I reached out to this law firm, and found two incredible attorneys that were calming, reassuring and understanding of my families needs. Parents, it is a struggle raising our children today and it is difficult to help them through the challenges they face, but with the help of Hebert and Associates (especially you Blair), our family is back on track, and I pray it will remain that way. Parents, write this name down, if God forbid you are ever in need of an outstanding law firm who truly cares, whether it be for your children or for yourself. I thank you so very much for your outstanding representation and your dedication.

I was involved in a serious accident with a pedestrian. The accident was not my fault, so I was not arrested. However, the officer noticed the scent of alcohol on my breath and instructed me I needed to take a blood test due to the seriousness of the accident. My results were above the legal limit. ... Because I was not at fault for the accident, the state charged me with DUI and nothing else. I was relieved and thought we would not fight the charge. But Blair reviewed the report and said we should fight it. It didn't take long, and we won. Because he was previously a state attorney, Blair knew we would win. He argued that the officer did not have the right to take a blood test because the accident report indicated I was not visibly intoxicated. The blood test results were taken out of the evidence, and the state dropped its charges. I thought it was risky to fight the charge, and I am so thankful that Blair is my lawyer. Blair is the only reason I did not get a DUI.

He was not take any responsibility for his office when they made damaging mistakes on important court paperwork. He just stood there in court and said nothing!!! He had a lot of information and he never brought it up because he told me later he didn't know of that. Untrue he just didn't read it and... was not prepared. I was overcharged for his representation and to make matters worse he did not return phone calls.
