Brilliant Lawyer

Mr. Clark has the ability to see and approach a case in ways other lawyers would not even dream of. He is an absolutely brilliant trial lawyer, and his desire to put his clients' interests first is unmatched. For him, the Law is not a business, it is a calling, almost bordering on a religious convict...ion, and that is a quality for which there is no substitute.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
