Mr

Best lawyer in town. Mr. Clark handled my troubles in Nashville, TN and kept me well informed during the process. If you run into any troubles in Nashville, TN, Mr. Clark is the lawyer that will take the utmost care and make sure you get the best result. He got my case dismissed and he charges a grea...t fee for GOOD quality of work. I can not thank Mr. Clark enough for the work that he has performed.

Best Representation

Philip Clark exceeded my expectations for legal representation. He was readily available and even came into his office on a Saturday to meet with me. He was knowledgeable, considerate, and affordable. He went into the court room with my best interests at heart that resulted in a favorable outcome. Pl...ease consider PNC Law for all of your legal needs. You will not regret your choice. Thank you Philip!

Great Experience!

I have known Philip Clark for almost 30 years. He is a former Police Sergeant and a U.S. Army veteran. He is trustworthy, very qualified and a great attorney. I never imagined that I would need an attorney for any criminal matters but when I found myself in a bad spot, I called Philip. I had an ex-wi...fe that took an order of protection out on me for no reason. She and I tried to reconcile after some years, it failed and we had some words, nothing more, and she told me not to speak to her anymore. I agreed and did just that, so I was very surprised when I was served with the order. Philip explained that an Order of Protection was civil in nature, but violations of this order were criminal. He also explained that if the Order was granted that I could not own or possess a gun for one year. Before I could even begin to worry about anything, Philip started asking questions and gathering information. He put me at ease and I just let him do his thing. The case started in General Sessions and Philip quickly informed the judge that it should not be heard in that court because we had actually been married. The case moved to Circuit court and Philip had it dismissed. It was very reassuring to have Philip on my side. I never expected to be in court over something like this but Philip told me that sometimes bad things happen to good people. He was right, I had not done anything wrong, but could have lost my guns due to someone else's lies. I really learned from this and one thing I learned for sure is that I will never go into court without Philip on my side. He was the best!! Do yourself a favor if you find yourself in trouble, call him!! You will not regret it!! I know I didn't.

Really nice guy!

I hired Mr. Clark last minute. He told me that I could probably get this dismissed by myself. I didn't want to take the chance. He only charged me half since he was already in that court that day. He was a very nice guy and a good lawyer. I highly recommend him.
