Very satisfied with Chris in helping my brother win. He did an amazing job. Chris will always be family to us we are very blessed. Highly recommend him!! He really knows his stuff. Great personality, very respectful.
Jes, thank you so much for these kind words. You have a wonderful family; it was a privilege to get to know each of you. This was a team effort as you all helped us build the case that we needed to build. In return, your brother received the best outcome available by law in his case. I'm so honored that you, your brother, and your family chose me to be his voice in the justice system.

I would absolutely recommend Chris. The charges I was dealing with were serious and I could have faced serious jail or prison time. Chris got me an outcome that is better than I could have imagined. One case was dismissed. The other had judgment deferred and will be dismissed after completing probati...
Frank, thank you for your comments. I agree that it was by far the best possible outcome. In fact, it was better than we could have dreamed of at the beginning. It was only possible because of the team approach between you, your family, and your legal team at Patton & Pittman. I know at times some of my advice seemed unorthodox but you trusted me and I thank you for that. At the end, it was you that asked me to take a leap of faith. I did and it lead to a great outcome. What I want everyone to understand is that you can't just hire an attorney and expect the attorney to do everything. It is truly a team approach. You did amazing things in your own life that gave me better information to present on your behalf. Thank you and good luck.

I'm honored to give this review for Mr. Chris Clark. Hoping this reaches out to not only civilian but military community as well. I was then referred to Mr. Clark because of the magnitude of of my case, so if you are looking at a serious charge you need a trial attorney. Mr. Clark has been on bot...
J.R. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I take great pride in being able to help our military men and women. It is the least that I can do when you all have sacrificed so much for our freedom. I see it as a way to honor my father, grandfather, and other family members who have also served. It was an absolute pleasure to be your advocate and to stand beside you as the charges against you were dismissed.

My family and I were very happy with Chris. He was always prompt, professional, practical, and honest. I was fighting some very difficult criminal charges and the DA was pushing hard for an outrageously severe 10 plus year prison sentence. We went all the way to trial, and while I wasn't aquitted (wh...
Richard, thank you for your awesome recommendation. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and your family throughout your case and now consider you all friends. You aren't kidding when you say this was a hard fought case. However, we had a plan, stuck to it, and it paid off. I'm so happy that you and your family were pleased with our team's work and the results.

My lawyer gave me a worry free process and amazing customer service! I was an out of state client and the way I treated made the process so stress free!
Thank you, Isaac. I know how stressful litigation of any kind can be. We go to great lengths to minimize the stress caused by the legal system. As you know, one of the ways that we do this is to educate our clients on the process by teaching them how the system works and what to expect. We are glad that this approach worked for you.
"I endorse attorney Christopher Clark. Chris and I first met while working on opposite sides of the aisle on a case that resulted in a hard fought battle in the courtroom. Chris is a formidable trial lawyer who is intelligent, professional, and dedicated to his clients. He brings his A-game every time and consistently garners successful results for his clients."
"Mr. Clark is an experienced, skilled, and highly-qualified attorney. He represents clients and causes zealously. He is also very approachable and practical, and his clients appreciate that. I definitely endorse this lawyer."
"I have watched Chris in Court on several occasions, he's confident, smart, and always prepared. He and I are working on a case together right now which I'm confident will result in "not guilty" for both our clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. In my opinion, you couldn't have a better person to represent you in Montgomery County."
"I have known Chris for many years and have sought his assistance on several cases. Chris is the consummate professional and has always represented his clients with zeal and exceptional skill. I consider myself honored to know and work with him."
"I endorse Christopher. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Chris and I have practiced together for almost 3 years and during that time I have found him to be a very thorough and detail-oriented attorney. Chris worked with the district attorney's office for 6 years and this experience is invaluable in his criminal defense practice whether it involves reaching a more favorable settlement for his clients or trying a case. One of Chris' strongest qualities is that he is not afraid to try a case if he does not feel the State is making a fair or reasonable offer to his client."
"I endorse this lawyer. Chris is highly respected by Bench and Bar alike. He is not afraid of the fight and is always prepared!"
