David Clarke cares.

I don’t often write reviews, but David Clarke earned one without question. Our family member had already admitted guilt to aggravated assault and we assumed sentencing was a foregone conclusion. Mr. Clarke immediately went to work: he assembled persuasive mitigation, cited relevant case law, gathered... meaningful character letters from family, friends, and colleagues, and corrected crucial information that had been misinterpreted in court. His courtroom presentation was honest, precise, and deeply respectful. Because of his skill, experience, and relentless advocacy, our loved one received a far more lenient sentence than we expected and left with an invaluable second chance. We are forever grateful and highly recommend Mr. Clarke to anyone seeking a tenacious, compassionate defender.

Professional and swift

I hired Mr. Clarke for a DUI, case was negotiated to a reckless driving and case was concluded very quickly. I never thought I would be in this position; however, I was and glad that I hired Mr. Clarke to be my representation. Mr. Clarke is very professional, courteous, answered all my questions, a...nd concluded my case quickly. I would highly recommend Mr. Clarke if you find yourself in a similar situation as I was in. Thank you again Mr. Clarke for all of your help getting this behind me as quickly as possible!!!

  • 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.
